Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King, "Dreamcatcher" is the story of four lifelong friends who, as children, befriend Duddits, a boy with mental retardation. Duddits becomes their special friend and in turn, his friendship affects their lives in strange and fascinating ways. Doesn't sound too 'Stephen King-ish' at this point, does it? Well their story takes a bizarre Stephen King turn as the four buddies take their yearly vacation together and discover something very strange and deadly has invaded their annual get-together.

At the U.S. Premiere of "Dreamcatcher," Jason Lee, Timothy Olyphant, Damian Lewis, and Donnie Wahlberg joined director Lawrence Kasdan and author Stephen King to discuss "Dreamcatcher" and the appeal of horror movies.

JASON LEE ('Beaver')

How would you describe your character, Beaver, in relation to the other 3 main characters?
[He's] probably the one who is a little bit more beautifully naïve. I would say more problem free. I think he's kind of a relief. In the movie, I think he's a bit of comic relief, as well. Maybe a little bit of a lighter soul.

Did any of the bizarre sayings your character uses throughout the movie stick with you?
Jesus Christ bananas. Do I use that [in real life]? I think they are good sayings, though.

Did you come up with any of the sayings or were they all in the script?
They are all in the book. They are all from the twisted, demented mind of Mr. Stephen King.

How difficult was it to film the toilet scene?
That was four days of pure hell.

What was underneath you while you were filming that scene?
A contraption in the toilet to push up the seat, puppeteers - you know, the puppet weasels - and [they used] fake blood and fake bite mark prosthetics.

Do you think the audience will understand why it's so important for your character to reach for those toothpicks?
I think so because you see that I have a toothpick in every scene, in every moment. It's his vice, it's his security blanket, so to speak.

Why do people love horror movies?
I think they jolt people awake (laughing).
