Movie makers are often obsessed with keeping spoilers under wraps. Studios like Marvel and DC go to great lengths to shield their projects from leaks—though not always successfully. Horror legend Stephen King, however, seems to have little patience for those who complain about spoilers.

King, the author of horror classics such as The Stand, The Shining, It, Misery, and many others, penned an article for The Guardian on “the dark brilliance” of Daphne du Maurier, the English novelist behind Rebecca and The Birds.

In the piece, King shared his thoughts on spoilers in general—and on the people who fret over them.
