I thought Salam's Lot was one of his better ones. It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. But that is probably because I like vamp movies.

Oh, I thought The Stand was a big pile of crap as well. Like Steve Hutchinson said in a PM to me, a villan with a mullet was a stank idea.

Well, that's all of my posting here on Horror.com for the evening. Now, I'm off to the Colin Mochrie forum.

Dreamcatcher. It was ok, but... really, did you hear that bad guys voice? And then some dumb red-head. Also, in the beginning when the first alien is shown, they never show that one again. What was up with that?

Christine
Thinner
The Running Man
Needful Things
The Dark Half
Salem's Lot
The Stand
Carrie
Sleepwalkers
IT
Cat's Eye

Good films of King's:
The Shawshank Redemption
Stand by Me
The Green Mile
Misery
The Shining

Carrie was pointless, Firestarter? what the hell, and Thinner was crap.

Everything else was okay-good on my scale

Freddy Krueger.

Rose Red, Storm of the Century, ugh, countless others, Tommy knockers, ugh, Dream catcher....

What are you talkin about SFF, you didnt like The Stand? I thought it was one of the better ones. i remember the scene where randall flag showed up at the old colorado place when mother abagail was playing guitar and said "your blood is in my hands mother", and then she started to bleed all over the guitar strings, i thought that was kinda cool.

Granted it wasnt that scary, but i thought itwas above par when judged by miniseries, especially mr.kings...i am partial tho, i enjoyed the book as well. Its no "IT" tho;)

Hardly:rolleyes: , most of these ill agree with, but Christine (WITH JOHN CARPENTERS SOUNDTRACK AND DIRECTING), Firestarter, The stand, Salems Lot (cant BELIVE YOU INCLUDED THIS ONE), THE RUNNING MAN?:eek: , and im a big fan of Cujo, altho most people on this board think it sucks.

Are these movies cheesy? ya maybe, do they have quesitonable directing in parts, and editing flaws in others, sure. But ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE?? you need to see more horror my friend...:rolleyes:

last bad move

i like all of the kings stuff but if i had to choose the worst one whould have to be thiner. but the ending was kinda cool and the rest of it sucked. i was most disipointed about the storm of the centry i loved all until the end and that bummed me out

Well, I've seen plenty of horror, and I've read most of King's works. The Stand and IT are AMAZING books that just should not have been made into film (ESPECIALLY the Stand!). The film does not come CLOSE to doing the book justice. I will concede that the Stand and Christine were not "absolutely horrible" movies. But I sure wouldn't put 'em on my "kicks ass" movie list.

Well, I'm a little shocked that Christine made somebodie's list. That was, IMO, one of his best. But, everyone has their tastes.

Well, maybe they just couldn't buy the whole "possesed car" concept. Anyhow, I loved it. The part where "Arnie's" sack lunch gets the knife, courtesy of "Buddy" was priceless.
