Stephen King is één van de beste schrijvers van deze generatie, wat hij gemaakt heeft is pure horror, nerd en geek stuff op en top. Daarom heeft de website Mania.com dertien beste werken die verfilmt zijn op deze lijst gezet. Persoonlijk mis ik The Langoliers (1995) die ondanks de cheap ass effecten qua verhaal heel erg cool was. Het is moeilijk om iets van de lijst te kiezen als favoriet, maar IT (1990) is nogal altijd scary as fuck.

11. It

The movies tend to be kinder to King than television, especially TV miniseries which usually add tedious flab to already dubious material in an effort to fill out a four-to-six hour running time. It proved one of the bigger exceptions, despite stemming from one of King's most verbose novels. The basic structure helped, detailing seven childhood friends who unite to destroy a monster living in the sewers of their hometown, only to return as adults to face the same horror. The novel cut back and forth between the children and grown-ups; the miniseries divided it neatly in two to cover the running time without a hitch. Oh, and then there was the monster, played by Tim Curry, who might be the scariest clown of all time. Considering the long history of scary clowns, that says a lot.
