The third year, on social networks, there are posts that the American writer considers the series “Marianna” from Netflix the best or main horror. Allegedly, according to King, he never looked at anything worse. We checked the veracity of such publications.
In the VKontakte social network, such posts began to disperse widely at the beginning of 2021 and Get Thousands of likes with hundreds of thousands of views. So, in January, public administrators Approved: "Marianne" is the best horror series according to Stephen King. " In March of the same year, the phrase "Best Horror series" Changed On the "The most terrible series from Netflix." In July 2022 appeared A new version: supposedly King called this series "The main thing in the genre of" horrors "." In the future, the wording has been transformed more than once. For example, it has become present In the form of a writer’s quote: “Marianne” is the worst horror series that I looked at Netflix, ”and in some publications a clarification of Netflix Deleted And Claimedthat these are words from an interview with King. In April 2023 appeared The most ultimate version: as if King considers Marianne the most terrible horror that he had to see (apparently, including films). Moreover, in some posts the series itself called film.
Marianne is a French horror series, whose release is took place September 13, 2019 on Netflix. Official Sinopsis on the Streaming Service website says: "Returning to his hometown, the famous writer of horror discovers that the evil spirit who tormented her in dreams is now sowing chaos in the real world." Show Closed After the first season in January 2020.
“Verified” could not find any texts or a video interview, where King would have awarded the above -listed titles, according to which this is the most terrible or best series that he watched. However, the writer really praised this French project.
For example, in his Twitter, King often publishes short reviews on films and series that he recently watched (based on the specifics of the author himself, it is clear that these are mostly horrors). On his page only One Mention of Marianne for September 27, 2019, when King wrote:
If you are one of those nuts, like me who like to be scared, Marianna will do its job. There are elements of humor that give it the atmosphere of “very strange things”. And also (I say this with all due modesty) there is an atmosphere of Stephen King.
It is noteworthy that the creator of the series Samuel Bodin toldthat he shot the project under the great influence of the king of horrors: "" Marianne "can be considered as a declaration of love to Stephen King." In the remnants to King’s tweet, one of the users said that her name is the same as the title heroine of the series, and as a joke asked what she was doing there. King for this answered: “Mmm, you are a witch married to a demon. Like that. "
The second time the writer spoke about the French horror in an interview with Entertainment Weekly magazine. October 4, 2019 on Netflix I went out The film "In the Tall Grass", based on the story of the same name King and his son Joe Hil, and on the same day interview with them Published EW publication. October 22 from another material It became known that during that conversation King was asked to recommend the best film, a series and a book that you can watch and read on Halloween 2019. That is, it was about the novelties of that season.
From the films, King chose the picture "Children's games", Where the famous Actor Mark Hamill voiced the famous killer doll-killer. At the same time, the writer noted that he did not go to the cinema, that is, he watched the tape of the house. Digital film I went out September 10, 2019, and the release on DVD and Blu-Ray took place two weeks later. King also recommended the book “Ninth House” Lee Bardugo - this novel I went out October 8. Of the series, the author recommended that we have been interested in, while his commentary almost completely repeated the earlier tweet: “I like the series that is now on Netflix,“ Marianne ”. This is a French series, and it is very, very scary. It has something from "very strange things", a few of their atmosphere, and a little more from Steve King. "
As you can see, King again did not utter those loud words from the posts in social networks.
We assume that an error could arise either because of an incorrect understanding of the essence of the interview, or because Articles On the Cinemabland website for November 1, 2020, under the heading of “11 horror-teleceptors, which Stephen King praised over the past few years.” There, Marianna is mentioned first, although the projects were not distributed in places. This list, translated into Russian, Found on different ones platforms.
Thus, despite the laudatory reviews, King never called the series “Marianne” the most terrible in history or the main thing in the “horrors” genre. Apparently, someone incorrectly interpreted the words of the writer, after which, due to the work of the so-called broken phone, publications were modified for several years.
