He's an author not a filmmaker.
when I think of horror I don't think of Stephen to tell you the truth I don't think of anybody paticular because there is no ''king of horror'' and if I were to give someone that title it wouldn't be him, most of his books are the same with different characters and slightly changed plots/origions. If you're going to call somebody the ''king of horror'' how about Karloff,Hitchcock,Romero ect. Basically someone who actually might deserve it, but I stick with my previous statement that there is no one ''king of horror''.
Maybe you could say masters of horror which would imply that there's more than just one person who's got a lock on how to make a good horror film and everybody else is below him because it disrespects people like Cronenberg,Carpenter,Argento people who actually know something about filmmaking.
And about the debate over wether he did the Shining remake or not,If he did do the Shining remake he doesn't really deserve any credit for it, he was mad at the changes Kubrick made when in fact he should've got down on his knees and thanked him for what he did to what apparently would've been a shitty movie if King would've had his way back then.
