The Mist Ending: Controversial Book-To-Movie Changes Explained

The Mist ending explained still leads to a lot of questions. Released as part of the Skeleton Crew short story collection, The Mist remains one of Stephen King’s most beloved works that doesn’t serve as a full-length novel. In 2007, Frank Darabont adapted The Mist into a feature film, and King devotees generally loved it. Darabont’s realization of King’s otherworldly tentacled beasts was approached with subtlety, as was The Mist‘s atmosphere and casting. The one aspect that bothered some viewers, though, was The Mist ending, which is, in one respect, suitably dark and disturbing for a horror movie, but was not what many wanted to see. ​​​​​​
