The Langoliers (Four Past Midnight)

Stephen King's imagination creates a terrifying creature that embodies the fear of time slipping away. I wonder what influenced this haunting concept.

The mix of fear, disbelief, and desperation felt intense at times. I'm curious if others thought their responses added to the horror or detracted from it.

Some parts felt slow, especially in the middle, but that might have been intentional to build tension. Did others feel the same or wish for more urgency?
