It is interestig that Stephen King is primarily known as a horror writer, moreover, the „king of horror“, and that the best movies based on his works are not the horror movies. There are two beautifull Rob Rainer’s movies: advanture drama on childhood, Stand by Me (1986) and thriller Misery (1990), and two movies which plot is placed in jails, both directed by Frank Darabont: The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Green Mile (1999). There is also a lot of horror films made upon his books, but the most of them are bad. The good ones are: Brian de Palma’s Carrie (1976), Stanley Kubrick’s Shining (1980), David Cronenberg’s Dead Zone (1983), John Carpenter’s Christine (1983) and Marc Pavia’s Nightflier (1997).
