I knew John Cougar Mellencamp was SCARY, but...

Why do I have a feeling this is not coming to a theatre near you anytime soon.

“Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a new Southern Gothic musical by Stephen King, above left, the horror writer, and John Mellencamp, above right, the musician, is to open in April 2009 at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta. In a recent interview in Rolling Stone Mr. Mellencamp said that if the musical, about the reverberations of a tragedy in small-town Mississippi, did well in Atlanta, it would head to Broadway.

Strikes me as the poor man's Capeman!
