I agree that with a few exceptions King's books didn't translate well to movies. Mosdt of his earlier books were just so good though that anything close would make a decent movie (Salems lot, Shining, Carrie, Cujo, Pet Sem, Misery, Dark Half were all at least ok) Anyone who read these though knows that as good as the movies may of been they just couldn't compare to the books. I really think that SK's has been on a serious losing streak though for a LONG time. Off the top of my head I think Insomnia was about the last scary book he wrote. It would pretty much be impossible to make a good horror movie out of his latest books, Dreamcatcher included. I don't know what happened to him. I keep hoping his next book will be like his early ones but a few pages in it's obvious their not even close.
