Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The works of Stephen King are vast and varied enough to be the inspiration behind an alarming number of movies and TV shows, with many of them differing significantly from the source material. The 66 books and counting of Stephen King, not to mention numerous short stories, have accounted for some of the most iconic horror tales of all time.
9 The Dark Tower A pale imitation of King's fantasy epic One of the few notable departures from horror in Stephen King's bibliography is the famed Dark Tower series, a dark fantasy epic spanning nine books. The tale begins with Roland, a cowboy-like gunslinger in an alternate dimension on a quest to find the elusive "Dark Tower", a citadel at the center of all reality.
7 The Lawnmower Man Shared only a title with a Stephen King story While his comprehensive novels might be more famous, Stephen King could almost be more considered for his hordes of short stories, including a title called The Lawnmower Man. Published in the 1978 Night Shift collection, The Lawnmower Man is a bizarre tale following a landscaper that uses a lawnmower to sacrifice victims to the nature god Pan, including the story's hapless protagonist.
5 Carrie Awkwardly tried to set up a franchise Carrie is one of the few Stephen King stories famous enough to spawn multiple film adaptations. While every Carrie movie attempts to put something of its own spin on the classic horror book, something was truly lost in translation in the 2002 version. The original Carrie tells the story of a repressed young woman developing psychic powers, who endures torment from her own mother and school bullies alike before finally going berserk.
