![]() The primary characters we’re primarily focusing on are Stu Redman, Franny Goldsmith, Larry Underwood, Glen, Nick Andros, Tom Cullen, Harold Lauder, Nadine Cross, Lloyd Henreid, Mother Abigail, and Randall Flagg, but just know there are many others. So in order to properly judge this round, we have to look at the characters overall and see which version did a better job with most of them. ![]() “The Stand” is known for its ensemble, without really have a “main character” (although Stu does fit that profile the most). So, in the interest of horror and Stephen King fandom, we thought it would interesting (and fun) to look at both adaptations of “The Stand” and objectively determine which one reigns supreme! In both cases, the series is set in “modern” day to when it was released, and in both cases, they’re very much a representation of that time. Given how massive a story it is, adapting it is no easy task, but it’s been done twice (once in 1994 and again in 2020/2021), both with incredibly different results. ![]() King has called his own version of “Lord of the Rings” with an epic journey being set in America, and there’s no denying its impact on his career, as well as horror as a whole. To this day, “The Stand” remains Stephen King’s longest novel ever written and is an absolute behemoth of a story (and a physical book). ![]()
