Rose Red is the first script that horror master Stephen King worked on after the devastating car accident that nearly ended his life. As King worked on the script, he saw an opportunity to craft it into a miniseries, allowing him to explore in greater depth the story of the mysterious house, its former inhabitants and the disparate group assembled to investigate the house's powers. The result is a three-part, six-hour miniseries created directly for television and brought to you by the same team that made the popular Storm of the Century two years ago.

The story behind the movie Rose Red. The first part of the six-hour mini series shows how Stephen King came to attention of creating the movie. It told us that Stephen King was inspired by Rose Red mansion's past after Dr. Joyce Reardon from Beaumontuniversity found the diary of Ellen Rimbauer. We all know that the ghost story isn't true but what story actually told us was that "Stephen King inspired the Rose Red mansion and lead to the making of the movie" leaving numerous viewers in believe that Rose Red mansion actually exist in Seattle.

THE FOLLOWING EXCERPTS I considered either too personal, or private, or repetitious for inclusion into the published diary. These, along with hundreds of other daily entries were either edited or omitted prior to publication by Hyperion Books. A very few such entries contained language or reference to acts I deemed inappropriate for publication in book form. Nontheless these entries do contain historic value, either to the period or the people themselves. Again, I have edited accordingly (_ _ _ _) where necessary for taste and sensibility, and beg the reader's foregiveness for, and the family's understanding of, my decision to publish these excerpts here on the World Wide Web. --

This is from Beaumont University website. misleading people as if the diary really exist. It does, but many people don't know that the whole diary was a hoax. Many copies of the book "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, My life at Rose Red" were sold, with majority of buyers believing that Ellen Rimbauer was the one who wrote it.

Beaumont University doesn't even exist. Who put the website there and why? The website looks legitimate and there are many people out there who cannot distingush credible information from a website.

Is this all the work and art of the one person named "Stephen King"? Did he actually think that by telling people "this movie is based on some true facts", although not a single thing was true, would entertain people? (no offense Stephy [:D])

Many people were lost and wondering, some very curious to find the mansion and some even went to Seattle to find the mansion.
This website also tried to explain and as you'll see that there are many wondering emails asking the truth about Rose Red and the family of Ellen Rimbauer.
