One thing I've noticed in his older scarier books, unless it was something "concrete" (the kid in firestarter, the dog in cujo, the car in Christine) there are so many things that he puts in them that I can come up with something that is so much scarier in my mind than what they put on the screen.0

Are the books scarier than the movies?0

Shawshank Redemption is my absolute favorite movie.0
-
My least favorite was that crappy thing he wrote for his daughters about fairy dragons or something. I'm probably remembering this wrong, but I remember being disappointed.
Everything else that I've read under his name was great.0 -
I loved the ending of "The Mist"! It blew my mind!
I liked it too but my husband HATED it. He walked out of the theater actually pissed off. So I made him read the last few pages of the book. He liked that ending better. lol0 -

I think so yes.
A specific tale in Everything's Eventual scared the crap out of me more then any of the movies and I'm pretty sure they could never re-create what I imagined. Its called The Man in the Black Suit.0 -

I was also infuriated by the movie ending :laugh:0 -
For movies, I enjoyed Bag of Bones (miniseries, I know, but still) and The Mist. For reading, The Mist (again) and all his shorts in Skeleton Crew, as well as Under the Dome. Currently reading The Stand (I can't get into it and keep putting it down), but also have 11/22/63 and Duma Key.
I hated the ending in the movie the Mist, I SO wish they would have made it true to the book. It fits so much better I believe, and is truer to Kings storytelling.
I really wish they would make Under the Dome into a movie, but I doubt it will even be a mini series. With it's main story content I think it would be a little too "real" for most people's comfort zones. The ending in that one didn't thrill me either (the cause of the dome) but was still a very unsettling story.0 -
Maybe insomnia, the stand, duma key was good & cell, just finished Needful things that was good....I don't know if I could pick a favourite! book always over film though!0

Favorite book would have to be "IT" but my favorite thing he has written was a short story I believe it was called, "Rage."0

Shawshank Redemption and The Shining0
-
Movie: Misery0

Misery - film & loved the book0
-
IT scared the crap out of me when I was a kid :laugh:0

Dolores Claiborne book - loved how the dialect was written
Movie - Carrie -0 -
Favourite books are The Stand and It... closely followed by Pet Semetery
Favourite movies are Carrie and Christine,.... these two movies were done really well.... also Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and Misery were reasonable adaptations from the books too... books are always best though0 -
I loved Rose Madder, 'Salem's Lot, and the Bachman Books.0
-
My fave book is a hard call but I will go with The Talisman - Love the journey in that book. Movie is another hard call so I will go with my first love Christine.0
-
The Stand, full version of the book, is my desert island book
The mini series of the Shining was much better than the film, and stuck closer to the book than the film did.
