The upcoming anthology horror series, “ Them, ” finally made its debut in the Amazon Prime Video catalog and, despite the division of international reviews, it definitely fell in the liking of one of the masters of the horror literature: Stephen King.
The award-winning and acclaimed novelist posted a comment on the pilot episode on his official Twitter, commenting that he was terrified of the production.
He wrote: “The first episode scared me terribly – and I find it hard to be scared. Bonus: if you’ve never seen a lot of weird white women in ’50s dresses, here’s your chance ”.
Amazon Prime Video: THEM, starting tomorrow. The first episode scared me, and I find it hard to scare. Bonus: if you’ve never seen a bunch of extremely creepy white women in 1950s dresses, here’s your chance.

The family home on a seemingly idyllic tree-lined street becomes the starting point for something terrible, where evil forces, both real and supernatural, threaten to insult, devastate and destroy them.
