Recently I was lucky enough to review the Dollar Baby Oroduction of Survivor Type from director Chris Ethridge and writer Jayson Palmer. The two, along with producers Toniet Gallego and Jeremy Frank, performed a near miracle by bringing this Stephen King short story to the screen. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve had a soft spot in my cold black little heart for this story, and have always wondered when someone would tackle it. Now, here it is. After some lighthearted internet stalking, I was able to corner Ethridge and Palmer and convince them to shed some light on the production of this sharp little short.
MoreHorror: First off, I’d like to thank you again for taking the time to let me pester you. I know things have to be getting busy as Survivor Type rolls out, so I’ll get right to the point.

For almost thirty years now Stephen King has been granting up and comers the rights to some of his stories. We’ve all heard of his dollar babies, where he give filmmakers a chance to adapt his work for the princely price of a dollar and one copy of the flick. I was lucky enough to catch Frank Darabont’s first flick “The Woman in the Room” years ago, and it showed obvious talent in the making. The only rule King puts on the filmmakers is that they don’t release it commercially without his permission, that he’s given screen credit, and that his name isn’t put in the title unless he specifically gives his approval. I guess the title credit is his secret handshake to let fans know which of his children he likes the best.
