Stephen King has seen so many TV and movie adaptations of his iconic horror novels that some gems have slipped through the cracks over the years.
Some of the best Stephen King movie and TV adaptations have been lost amidst the long list of books that have made to the big and small screens, but they’re well worth revisiting. Stephen King’s prolific catalog of gripping novels and short stories has seen the author accumulate over 300 screen adaptation credits. Many have become icons of the horror genre.
9 Under The Dome - Season 1 Under The Dome premiered in 2013 to significant popularity and acclaim. The series is based on Stephen King’s 2009 novel, and follows a small town that suddenly finds itself trapped underneath an indestructible dome with no explanation. Under The Dome set a record as the most-watched summer drama premiere on any television network since 1992, enjoying critical acclaim and high viewership throughout its first season.
6 The Shining While Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is rightly considered one of the best horror movies ever made, the film has had its share of criticism from those who disliked the many changes made from Stephen King’s original book. One of these detractors was King himself, who has publicly voiced his dislike of Kubrick’s Shining. In 1997, King wrote and executive produced his own adaptation of The Shining, a three-part miniseries that runs much closer to its source material.
