For decades now Stephen King has given us unique contributions to pop culture and the horror genre, but every once in a while he rolls out an idea that's a riff on something else. Previously King made headlines with an idea he had for his own take on Friday the 13th and its slasher killer Jason Voorhees. Now, with the holidays in sight, King has a pitch for a different kind of Christmas movie, one that brings a dark conclusion to the classic holiday movie It's A Wonderful Life.

Many seemed to agree with his idea though, with other King crossovers featuring the Predator being suggested along the way.
Isn’t that just Christmas Carol?
