I used to read a lot of Stephen King, but I haven't read anything by him since PET CEMETERY (SEMETERY?).
My favorite movie made from a Stephen King book gets unfairly forgotten, I think. It scared the bejeepers out of me - CUJO.
SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and STAND BY ME are the best movie versions in terms of execution, but I still prefer CUJO.
And THE SHINING is a very effective film, too, even if it does veer from the original book. I can't wait for the Blu-ray disc of this to come out. It should look stupendous in high def.
