I think that's neet, I love to watch for him in his movies. Another person that does that with movies is Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-man, Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-Men, etc..., he has been in all the movies of the characters he created.

i was so disappointed by Dreamcatcher, i think i hate this movie, it's definately on my top worst horror movies list, anyway, Stephen King movies that i like are The shining, Pet Cemetary and i think that's it, oh wait, i liked It too, thought it wasn't so bad and i liked Cateye(don't know the exact english translation) it was a movie with Drew Berrymore and James Woods,

what about Rose Red how kan u not like that movie

IT! Easily one of the top five Evil Clown Movies ever made.http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/icw/030.gif

I guess I like his books over his movies just because I'm more accustomed to reading his books. In some ways, they're better than the movies because he puts so much detail into his work that can't be conveyed through movies. Kind of like what Survivor said.

I actually didn't like that one Leatha. I love Julian Sands too. Go figure.

Whoah! If I was married and my husband didn't let me read books he wouldn't be my husband for long!
To each their own i guess :eek:
As for Steven King movies I liked Kubrick's Shining and It was pretty freaky, I haven't seen as many as I should have. Maximum Overdrive and Creep Show were fun.

I agree! I spent every spare second reading before I got married. Even in high school, i'd walk thru the halls reading and teachers were amazed at how I never ran into people or things. And Stephen was almost always who I was reading. The books are always better, and sometimes they end differently like with the original Children of the Corn (which was a short story and only part of a book to begin with) But I still love movies. And his are always entertaining to me. I even love the Stand![

Wait, why would you say "I even love the Stand!" That implies that many people don't like it. I was under the impression that it was a good film and pleased many folks. Am I wrong?:confused:

I don't know about the people on this site, but everyone I know in person didn't like it. They don't usually like anything I like tho!

I for one loved it and it got a really good rating on imdb. Glad to hear you liked it too Roguesblight.

Yep, loved it a lot! The kind of horror that is verrrrrry possible. I always like virus type movies, tv or otherwise. I also liked 28 days later. Poor quality, cause it's british probably, but great premise, and an even greater twist on virus movies.

You've scored points with me again by liking 28 Days Later. So many people on here hate it.

the stand was good but long. haven't seen 28 days later yet but my friend has it so i'll probably borrow it from him.

What was the dad's name? Frank? I liked him! Yeah that was proof that ok acting and poor film quality doesn't always make the flik!

Well they shot on digital to give the film a more realistic look (it's also cheaper). So the poor film quality was a choice on their part. I think it works for the movie perfectly.

Didn't know that, just figured that since a lot of british movies and tv shows are poorer quality that maybe they go the cheap route just because. Didn't think they'd want it to look like that. But hell, it didn't matter to me. It sure was a different kind of virus and that's one of the reasons I think I liked it so much. Kinda like a zombie on speed! One scratch and zoom zoom, munch munch! And they were smarter than zombies.

ya got that one right... I hate it... LOL

Let me first say that ive never been scared, litteraly frightened, by a movie after i started reading stephen king books. IT is by far the best and most scary book ive ever read. It is Nothing like the movie and almost every encounter the view has with it is a censored watered down version of what happens in the book. Some parts in the book arent in the movie because u could barely get away with an R rating with shit thats in that book, much less a TV miniseries. Alright off that soapbox..

I think he can do some good movies, Pet sematary, The stand, The shining, Cujo (arguably;) eh avenger?), christine, i really like the creepshows, etc.
I think he can do movies well if they are actual movies and not miniseries they have a chance. But in almost all cases his books own whats put on the screen and anyone who loves to be scared as this group undoubtably does owes the once king of horror at least one read.

Arioch you just lost some points by liking cujo. i mean it was terrible.

lol man im takin some shit for liking cujo. OK so it wasnt the scariest movie but it was pretty original and was (i thought) pretty suspencefull but i saw it when i was younger maybe i need to rewatch it lol:p Trust me on the books tho..

books are always better, because i have yet to see a movie that can come close to scaring me as much as my own mind can.

well said

Haha, like you said: It's arguable.

lol
