625. Secret Window (2004)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a Cry Baby Walker t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a glass of water*

W: Welcome to my lair…welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock levitates then walks inside*

W: As Johnny Depp Tribute Week reaches its end, we have two movies left to cover. One of them was a special request by none other than Neyzor Blades and the other will be the main event of my choosing tomorrow. As for today, take it away Neyz.

*Neyzor Blades is in the recliner wearing standard attire*

N: Tonight we will be covering the 2004 adaptation of the Stephen King short story known as SECRET WINDOW.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: That’s right, Johnny Depp stars in a Stephen King movie…or book…or whatever, you get the idea. Depp stars as a writer….how unusual for a King novel….who’s haunted by a strange man who stalks him and his ex-wife claiming plagiarism on a story Depp may or may have not stole. Ironically the book this is from also contains The Langoliers. Its called Four Past Midnight.

N: Hey I was supposed to say that. Anyway this was my personal recommendation so I’m going to love it. If he doesn’t, who cares?

W: So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because it’s time for SECRET WINDOW.

*Neyzor Blades reads the tag-line*

N: “A successful writer in the midst of a painful divorce is stalked at his remote lake house by a would-be scribe who accuses him of plagiarism.”

W: I know this was 18 years ago but considering what’s going on with Johnny now, holy moly is it ironic we’re watching this now.
