Video Tribute To The Film Adaptations of Stephen King's Terrifying Tales
Stephen King is more popular now than he’s ever been. Various filmmakers in Hollywood have enjoyed producing film adaptations of his novels over the years. Many of them have been great, while others have been terrible, but the stories always manage to entertain.
Ever since IT was released and exploded at the Box office, several studios fast-tracked a bunch of new Stephen King films and TV series. So, in the near future were going to see a big influx of Stephen King entertainment and all I can hope is that they all turn out good! But, as always, there are bound to be a few duds.
If you’re a fan of the films that are based on Stephen King’s work, I’ve got a nice video tribute here for you to watch that was created by Talkhouse. This is the note that came along with the video:
With over 30 theatrically released films based on his work, Stephen King is the most adapted author in cinema history. So much so that "from Stephen King" has almost become a genre of its own. While his stories may range from cars possessed by the devil to coming-of-age, every film based on King source material has that special Stephen King essence that can be rather difficult to pinpoint specifically. King's work is usually haunting and rather bizarre, but there is always morality. There is always a lesson to be learned. And most importantly, there is always heart. Maybe this doesn't always transfer to the screen – King adaptations range from a Kubrick masterpiece to low-budget disasters – but we still feel the prolific author's strangely beautiful fingerprints.
