It might be of interest to note that the cuts to black in the film were originally scripted that way. They're meant to be moments of silence - sometimes giving the viewer a break - and sometimes mounting a bit of tention because we're not sure what's coming next after being plunged into darkness.
If, by some stroke of weird fate, you're reading all of this and you have not read King's poem - go right now and do so! "Paranoid: A Chant" was published in Skeleton Crew. Reading his poem is a lot more fun than reading my script - so get to it, campers!
Enjoy.
