Ever wondered how many people lose their lives in any particular horror movie? Well, we've got you covered with THE KILL COUNTER, our hit new series takes out all of the guesswork and counts out each and every death on (and sometimes off) screen. Break out your calculator and try to keep up!
On this episode, we take on director John Carpenter's adaptation of Stephen King's CHRISTINE, which centers on
Unpopular nerd Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) who buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine. Arnie develops an unhealthy obsession with the car, to the alarm of his jock friend, Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell). After bully Buddy Repperton (William Ostrander) defaces Christine, the auto restores itself to perfect condition and begins killing off Buddy and his friends. Determined to stop the deaths, Dennis and Arnie's girlfriend, Leigh Cabot (Alexandra Paul), decide to destroy Christine.
Carpenter directed CHRISTINE from a script by Bill Phillips based on the novel by Stephen King. Richard Kobritz produced with Larry J. Franco and Bill Phillips. Keith Gordon starred with John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, and Harry Dean Stanton. As per usual, Carpenter composed the film's score along with Alan Howarth. Columbia Pictures drove Christine head-first into a theater near you back on December 9, 1983.
