    Watched this movie on old B/W TV late one evening back in 1960's, was only 7. Scarred the living crap out of me and I never forgot it. Still get chills watching the artifact glow with veins, and the final scene when man on crane approaches the Horned Devil.

      Stephen King mostly uses his dreams, but will copy a Disney movie, TV show, or any other good story when he feels like it.
      Digby the Biggest Dog in the World ( Cujo ), Christine ( Happy Days ), the Disney film about the advertising executive that leaves his job, drags his family to a town in a northern state, tries to get the place liveable and profitable, constantly fights a boiler about the explode, his family thinking he's lost his mind, and is finally rescued from his folly when a train gets snowbound and two hundred people come to stay, and promise to visit in the future.
      'Firestarter' is remarkably like the Marvel Comic's miniseries Firestar, 'The Institute' is the opposite of Xavier's School For Gifted Youth, etc.

    I have a theory on the ending.
    *SPOILERS AHEAD*
    Roney's own latent psychic powers causes the crane to crash into the energy form.
    Under stress trying to get the crane to move he causes the fracture in the Earth that ultimately sends him to his fate and dissipates the energy form.
    So, ALL of humanity was "tainted" by the Martians genetic tampering, but some, like Roney, could only send out their telekinetic energy through stress.
    It makes zero sense that the Martian energy form would allow for its own destruction.
    Just a theory.
    *Spoilers End*

    It's one of the grestest SF films ever made.
