King of horror and King of pee<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you read or watch enough of a creator\u2019s work, you start to notice some recurring elements. For example, Stephen King\u2018s characters almost always piss their pants in his stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pee is so common in King\u2019s work that you can even find it in his film adaptations. For example, both the film and novel version of\u00a0The Green Mile<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0have major plot points involving pee. At one point the wicked Percy (played by Doug Hutchison) is groped by “Wild Bill” Wharton, which causes him to pee himself in terror, while Paul (played by Tom Hanks) spends most of the story battling a urinary tract infection. In\u00a0Cujo,<\/a><\/strong> one of the most terrifying moments revolves around Tad (played by Danny Pintauro) opening the car door to pee while the murderous dog looms somewhere nearby. And then there\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>The Shawshank Redemption,<\/a><\/strong> which ends with an inmate crawling to freedom through a literal pipe of human sewage which is not only urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
