Is there a thread that catalogs the descriptions of all of King's characters? I can't remember what they all look like and most the time King only gives a description once in the book. What they wear in the books would be cool as well.

There is no such thread. I propose this be it both for DT and non dt books.
That is just awesome Bill!
That's what I was thinking, a complete list of descriptions of as many characters that can be gathered. What is the best way to do this? Just posting in a thread might get messy. The books are all already listed, would adding the characters to them be best?

A good one for starters might be the "cards" from UTD? I suppose you could also mix in artist interpetation's. Just a thought. I could probably help a bit (I think!!) LOL

Very cool, Brice!!! besides the cards, we have Ned's Illo's from Wastelands and a host of others I am sure. I'm not really great at finding all these pics on the WWW but, I got you started with "The lawnmower man". There is probably a few you can borrow from the case editions just let me know, I have most of the pics on file if you like.
What are my orders Col. Brice?

Here's a start, not great and a lot of the info is missing, but that's my point. When I try imagining what they look like, I'd like some definitive guidance on what to imagine them as. Short, tall, fat, skinny, scars, complexion, limp when they walk...

for some reason I always thought Beverly was a redhead
got to re-read it...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beverly's hair was an auburn red - "winter fire"
Thanks, I corrected that.

I did not like the blue dude in the 79 movie of Salem's Lot. In that movie they down played the vampire in favor of Straker, and I didn't like that. I thought that really Donald Southerland would have been a great Barlow, and James Mason was a great Straker. Cromwell was a good Callahan.
