Table of contents

King has famously never been crazy about the liberties taken by Kubrick. That new threat, introduced in an opening scene of casual menace involving a lost girl by a lake, is a top-hatted, meditating soul-eater named Rose, played with sultry malevolence by Rebecca Ferguson even as she resembles a New Age groupie who might teach a yoga class. The trio of story strands converge when mental pen pals Dan and Abra finally meet and realize that Rose and her ghoulish gang, including a sinister figure named Crow Daddy Zahn McClarnon , are hunting her.

The first spectral meeting of Abra and Rose. Though Ferguson is clearly enjoying her villainess, Curran — sometimes stiff, mostly appealing — also takes the opportunity to make Abra a righteous girl warrior with her own relish for battle. Stephen King isn't just an author by this point: He's an institution, a legacy of classic horror stories that capture our imaginations, fuel our nightmares, and speak -- when he's at his best -- to our shared experiences as flawed, emotional beings.

The best King stories scare so many of us that we all feel connected, and even the worst are usually pretty fun. King's books and short stories quickly became hit movies, many of them celebrated in their time, and some flopped so hard that hardly anybody remembers them. Cataloguing every adaptation might be a fool's errand, so we made some tough choices and decided to focus only on his theatrical releases. And even then, there are so many King adaptations that it gets tricky.

The sequels to King's work rarely have anything to do with the source material, so they're all disqualified even though some, like Larry Cohen's prescient anti-fascist monster drama "A Return to Salem's Lot," are genuinely interesting. We also cut King some slack and removed "The Lawnmower Man" from our watch list, since he fought to have his own name removed from the film and won. There are also some adaptations that are simply difficult to find in America, like the Indian adaptions of "Misery" and "Quitter's, Inc.

We promise we tried. Even with all those caveats we felt one particular film deserved a quasi-official, honorable mention. Before we rank into every theatrically-released Stephen King adaptation let's give out one honorable mention Stephen King wrote only one installment of this feature film version of the "Tales From the Darkside" TV series, but it's a doozy. Darkly humorous and surprisingly gross, it's definitely the highlight of this anthology -- although the other installments aren't half-bad.

Tobe Hooper's adaptation of King's short story about a haunted laundry machine is insane in all the wrong ways. It's a tonally scatterbrained, shrieking, overacted mess of a movie. Too bizarre to feel real, too abrasive to work as camp, "The Mangler" is about as bad as a Stephen King movie can get. John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson are two of the only people in the world who weren't talking on their cell phone when a weird psychic zombie virus was unleashed through all the earpieces. The concept was already outdated by the time "Cell" barely came to theaters -- we all know everyone would be texting nowadays -- but the film's weak characters, laughable mythology and bizarre finale are the real reasons why this adaptation flops.

Joan Allen and Anthony LaPaglia seem like the perfect married couple. But while her husband is off on one of his many business trips, Allen discovers that he's actually a serial killer. Essentially a dramatic two-hander, Allen and LaPaglia have a few great moments as they find their marriage going through unexpected changes, but Peter Askin's generic direction neutralizes most of the suspense, and the storyline peaks early and quickly fizzles out. It's not terrible; it's just dull. Thomas Jane plays a farmer plotting to kill his wife in this Netflix original, but of course irony rears its ugly head and his uppance doth come.

Sadly, like his character, he can't quite get away with it. You'd think Stephen King's short story about industrial workers fighting killer rats would make for an entertaining creature feature, but "Graveyard Shift" dawdles too long and doesn't get to the icky good stuff until closer to the end, and there isn't enough drama to keep us engaged until then.

But at least it's got Brad Dourif, playing a fascinatingly intense exterminator who steals every single scene he can find. Scott play the sinister men who want to kidnap her and exploit her abilities. It starts well, but the movie loses focus for most of the second act before picking up again with a genuinely explosive climactic battle.

A series of full-moon murders convinces a disabled boy, played by Corey Haim, that a werewolf is on the loose in his town. Naturally, no one believes him, and naturally, he's right. Gary Busey shines as Haim's miscreant uncle, and Everett McGill is tragic and scary as a cursed priest, but "Silver Bullet's" subpar production values and completely unconvincing monster effects drag down this otherwise likable film.

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories

Stephen King's tale of a young couple trapped in a town overrun by homicidal kids is a great idea for a movie, but Fritz Kiersch's adaptation wanders aimlessly in search of scares, and the over-the-top supernatural finale is unintentionally hilarious. Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton make little impression as our heroes, but at least John Franklin and Courtney Gains are scary as hell as the teen cult villains.

Bryan Singer's bleak coming-of-age drama stars Brad Renfro as a teenager who cons a fugitive Nazi, played by Ian McKellen, into revealing his darkest secrets, and the relationship they form is unwholesome to the extreme. It's undeniably scary, and Renfro and McKellen give great performances, but almost every scene in this film seems reminiscent of the accusations against Singer accusations, so it's still incredibly hard to get through. It's important to remember that some Stephen King stories are completely nuts, and if you need an example, look no further than "Dreamcatcher.

It's too absurd to take seriously, but if you get on this film's bonkers wavelength, it's undeniably amusing. Stephen King's first original screenplay, "Sleepwalkers" stars Alice Krige and Brian Krause as mother-son cat monsters who are also lovers. Cheesy and lurid, with very questionable visual effects and storytelling choices, but at least Mick Garris' film is never boring.

Stephen King's enormous fantasy epic yielded a frustratingly small and conventional movie adaptation. Tom Taylor plays a youngster who stumbles into a timeless battle between good and evil, represented by the heroic Roland Deschain Idris Elba and the villainous Walter Padick Matthew McConaughey. The CGI action and rushed storyline are pure Hollywood hackery, but Elba is so incredibly charismatic that the film is watchable -- disposable, but watchable -- anyway.

Jonathan Jackson stars as a death-obsessed college student who hitchhikes home to visit his sick mother and encounters a grim specter of death along the way. But at feature length, this material feels pretty skimpy. Another well-constructed film, made increasingly uncomfortable by context. Johnny Depp stars as a troubled, struggling, once-popular artist, accused of plagiarism by a mysterious stalker played by Jon Turturro.

David Koepp's adaptation of "Secret Window, Secret Garden" is relatively slick and suspenseful, but it's difficult to watch a film about Depp threatening his wife and losing his mind without mentally sidestepping into some unsettling and distracting territory. The second film in Stephen King and George A. Romero's horror franchise, this time directed by Michael Gornick, is more of a mixed bag than the original, with the conventional vengeful statue yarn "Old Chief Wooden Head" completely failing to pass muster.

Fortunately, the slime monster short "The Raft" makes up for it, and road-trip ghost story "The Hitch-Hiker" concludes "Creepshow 2" on an amusingly grim note. Both actors make the most of their roles, with Moore in particular having a wild time. However, this respectable but unremarkable remake never quite feels as raw and frightening as the original. Robert John Burke stars as a corrupt, heavyset lawyer who uses his mob connections to stay out of jail after he accidentally hits an old gypsy with his car.

Her widower curses him to get "thinner," every single day, until he wastes away into nothingness. Tom Holland's film is a nasty piece of work that plays more like a cruel joke than a feature film.

But as cruel jokes go, it's a good one. The only film that Stephen King directed himself, "Maximum Overdrive" tells the story of a group of strangers who get trapped at a gas station when all the machines on Earth come to life and start killing everybody. Terrorized by vehicles and vending machines, they're forced to fuel the trucks, and it's just about as ridiculous as it sounds.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a wrongly accused man, forced to fight for his life against colorful superpowered murderers for the benefit of a live studio audience. The action is entertainingly bizarre, and iconic game show host Richard Dawson plays a fantastically evil version of himself. It's an effective media satire and a ripping sci-fi thriller. Frank Darabont's second Stephen King adaptation tells the story of Depression-era death row inmates and guards, whose lives are forever altered by the arrival of a mysterious, magical new prisoner.

Director Andy Muschietti knows how to build a great scare, and "It Chapter Two" has some doozies, but the conclusion of this horror epic falls prey to tedious mythologizing and a flashback structure that treats the adult Losers like afterthoughts in their own story. It's a disappointing conclusion to the instant classic "Chapter One. Although he hopes to finish his manuscript, the young man finds himself haunted by the strange house and odd occurrences. It would help if the eye in the wall stopped watching him while he slept He awakens in a forest with little recollection and eventually stumbles upon a small town.

In a diner, the author meets a group of people. To his utter surprise, each person suffered similar fates It's not what you expect Project: Dream Demon. These are novels written from and beyond. Ranging from traditional horror to wicked revenge thrillers, these novels are written to leave deep impressions. Some may shock certain audiences, others will fit right at home on your shelves. Regardless, I hope you enjoy these stories.
