    Salem's Lot, IT, Dreamcatcher, The Shining (both versions are good), Pet Cemetery, Carrie, The Langoliers, and Cujo are some of my faves. I felt really bad for Cujo though lol.

    I used to absolutely HATE the majority of Stephen King's horror adapted for the screen...Until The Mist which is now one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It's scary in a 'it could happen any day' kind of way. The Lovecraftian twist was nice, too. And the ending...well, I won't spoil it but...wow, just fucking wow.

    Thomas Jane is a capable actor, too...

    All that and a soundtrack featuring Dead Can Dance!

    Misery is the best thriller I've ever seen.

    Pet Sematary is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.

    The Shining- Of course
    It- Clowns are creepy
    Misery- Hobbling, need I say more
    The Stand- 8 hours of craziness
    Silver Bullet- Kinda lame but I like it, and it has Gary Busey, he's always outta control
    Children of the Corn- "Bring him the blood of the outlanders"
    The Thing- One of the scarier movies ever
    Carrie- Shouldn't have fucked with her
    Thinner
    Salem's Lot
    The Mist
    Storm of the Century

    Theres just too many. I'd rather read the books anyday and Stephen King has said that he hates all the movies that have been based off of his books. The Shining, The Stand, Misery, and The Thing are definetily the best ones.

    Children of the Corn was actually part of the Stephen King anthology ‘Night Shift’ a collection of 20 short-stories which included Graveyard Shift, The Mangler, The Lawnmower Man, and many other famous stephen king classics :cheers2:

    "From the depths of darkness, where hideous rats defend their empire, to dizzying heights, where a beautiful girl hangs by a hair above a hellish fate, this chilling collection of twenty short stories will plunge readers into the subterranean labyrinth of the most spine-tingling, eerie imagination of our time" - Night Shift

    Just don’t make the same mistake that I did by actually reading the book while working
    the Night Shift :eek:

    Especially the graveyard shift, gray matter, children of the corn, the lawnmower man,
    the mangler, and one for the road

    :leaving:
