Ahoy hoy! Tonight World War II Movie Night closes out Spooky Movie Month with 1998's "Apt Pupil." Based on a 1982 Stephen King novella, tonight's movie sees up-and-coming director Bryan Singer follow his praised debut ("The Usual Suspects") with an adaptation that gives a late-'90s slickness to King's tale of an All-American teenager who discovers a Nazi in his neighborhood. Oh, and as far as tonight's episode? Strap in!... asides include, the ages of actors who play teenagers, Anthrax, and many, many things Stephen King.
