I was going to mention this because Stephen King has always wanted to portray children dying violent deaths...The reason being that it is horrifying, and therefore contributes to the 'horror' theme overall...The scene that we actually saw when Gage was killed, was NOT the scene that King had envisioned...

King was told to either drastically alter or remove a scene in Maximum Overdrive, where a boy on the ballfield was run over by a steamroller, feet first, ending with his brains bursting out of the top of his head...They told him that the film would get an X rating, if he didn't comply...It STILL pisses him off...

Perhaps if he weren't so restrained whenever he tried to bring his books to the screen, his movies wouldn't be so bad...Just a thought
