When the Literary Master of Horror meets Film’s Master of Horror, it’s a recipe for some truly furious cinema. That’s exactly what the result was with John Carpenter’s 1983 adaptation of Stephen King’s best selling novel Christine, another female titled tale like Carrie that dealt with the supernatural.
