Books: Thinner and Firestarter and Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales
Movies: The Shining and The Green Mile
Because of my insane fear of clowns I cannot read or watch IT.0 -
Man, this is tough.
I'll have to say Misery and It is a tie for the book, although I really liked Thinner.
Well, I'll have to say the same for movies as well, with the exception of Thinner. I liked The Shining too.
It was the only book that actually frightened me. My kids love to play with balloons, and sometimes the balloons will just flow through the house. It instantly reminds me of Pennywise the clown and his scary teeth. Ugh. I read the book 20 years ago!
Oops. I forgot Tommyknockers and the Apt Pupil. Ah, hell. It's so hard to pick just one.0 -

My best friend's husband is so afraid of clowns, she isn't even allowed to have the book in the house0 -
Anyone read 11/22/63 yet? I really liked it and can see it as a great movie, I hope.0

11/22/63 is the next on my "to be read" list. I can't wait to read it.0

I like a lot of his books (Misery, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, 11/22/63, Thinner, The Long Walk, etc ...) but my all time favorite is ... by far ... The Eyes of the Dragon.
how did I forget The Eyes of the Dragon! that was a great one!0 -
Book: The Shining, the Stand (unabridged), It, Tommyknockers, Misery, The green Mile (read this as each book came out & i was on pins & needles waiting for each one to come out
Movie: The Shining (only the original, not the tv version), The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption. & of course Misery
Anybody recognize these? Shawshank Redemption was filmed about 90 minutes from my house
the "boarding house"
Driving up the front driveway
The shower room, both in the movie & in reality when it was a working prison. In the last pic, all the orbs are not camera tricks or dust, the reformatory is truly haunted, knowing it's history makes it even more interesting.0 -
Favorite movie, The Green Mile. Favorite book, Christine. For me, none of the movies can come close to capturing his literary detail.0

Rose Madder
Loved this book! I couldn't put it down!0 -
The Stand and IT. I think all his books are better than the movies but I do like IT and The Shining as a movie too.0
-
Movies: The Shining (I worked at a hotel), Maximum Overdrive, The Storm of the Century
Books: The Dark Tower series, The Talisman, It
My favorite author; I could go on and on.0 -
Books - Pet Sematary was by far the scariest to me. I loved The Talisman & Skeleton Crew and the Dark Tower series too.
Movies - Rose Red, The Mist, Storm of the Century
He's always been my favorite author!0 -

Love all his stuff ...... but have never been able to get through "Pet Semetary" ...... scares the cr*p out of me still :sad:0
-
Movies: Rose Red, Thinner, The green mile, Silver Bullet, Storm of the Century.
Books: The girl who loved Tom Gordon, The stand, The Green Mile.0 -
The Stand is my favorite book. Not just my favorite King book. It's my favorite book ever. I've read almost all of his books (except 11/22/63 and Blockade Billy) and am currently reading The Wind Through the Keyhole. I'm also partial to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Eyes of the Dragon as I read those with my daughter. Also, I'm gonna throw it out there that I think Cell was a giant turd of a book.
Movies: Shawshank is the best movie adaptation I think. Oh and Misery. Kathy Bates was awesome as Annie Wilkes.0 -

I'm not proud but I'm the same it is the most irrational fear but I can't help it. No clown related crap in my house.0
