So excluding stuff like The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile (1999) and
Stand by Me (1986). Just strictly horror. I found it difficult to restrict it to just five but here is what makes my top five:

Storm of the Century (1999 Mini-Series)
Pet Sematary (1989)
The Dark Half (1993)
The Shining (1980)
It (1990 Mini-Series)

There were a lot that missed the cut for me, especially The Dead Zone (1983) but it can't be helped. What sbout you? What are your Top 5 Stephen King horror adaptations?

Carrie was one of his best. I actually prefered Creepshow 2 (1987) over the first one. Storm of the Century is very good. I'm a Little Teapot never sounded so sinister. Have you seen Salem's Lot ? that would be one that would have just missed the cut for me. I liked Langoliers too. The Stand was really good, just a little too long emoticon

lol, i can't help it emoticon yeah, you are right, i agree with you, Night Flyer is quality.

the raft segment was very good. it was good fun. i havent seen C3 and i probably wont.

yeah Langoliers was good fun for what it is. they showed it on the horror channel in the uk a few months back.

I really like The Dead Zone. Sheen and Walken were great. That probably comes in 6th for me.

i wouldn't be a fan of Silver Bullet (1985) but i liked Maximum Overdrive (1986) - even thou it has its fair share of people who dont like it. have you seen The Mangler (1995) ? that is the only adaptation i haven't seen.

That is the first time that i seen Sleepwalkers mentioned - i think it is good. It has been like 20 years since i seen it but i liked it. I also really liked Dolores Claiborne, Firestarter, Children of the Corn. I seen The Rage: Carrie 2 years ago but it is due a re-watch cause i don't remember much about it. i didn't know you liked It emoticon

yeah, it was a pretty fucked up movie by stephen king standards. i haven't seen Carrie 2 - i will try to watch that one. no i wouldn't be bothered with the remake either. I liked Rose Red but felt it was overlong. i didn't like The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. The Tommyknockers was ok but it ran out of steam towards the end. i like Cujo.

Sorry my wrong. Delores Claiborne is definitely not horror! I don't know what i was thinking! Great movie tho! Did you notice the reference to The Shawshank Redemption? Where Dolores tells Joe that he's going to have "a long stay in Shawshank prison", for what he's done to Selina. emoticon

Salem's Lot (1979) scared the shit out of me when i was a kid. that window scene emoticon Apt Pupil was a well made tense fare, which i like very much.

Nice write up, Box! i agree with a lot of what you wrote. Pet Sematary (1989) is such a great movie. i do agree with you on The Dead Zone (1983) having drama elements. The Shining (1980) is due a re-watch. the last time i seen was like 20 years ago. glad you liked Sleepwalkers (1992) too emoticon

do you remember that episode of Tales from the Darkside "Sorry, Right Number" based on a Stephen King short story? i loved that episode. have you seen his television mini-series adaptation of Nightmares and Dreamscapes? some cool episodes. emoticon
