The Mist (2007)
I never read the story it's based on, but holy shit I love that movie. It has such a great mix of monster movie vibes, and the bleak-as-fuck ending honestly really sends it home.
ETA: there's apparently a black and white version that I've never seen but really want to.
The original 1970s Carrie adaptation with Sissy Spacek. Captures an era perfectly, and all the female leading actresses are so good.
The 1970s mini series of Salems Lot. Great cast. Super creepy thanks to Tobe Hooper’s direction.
Seconding Carrie and The Mist, I also like Rose Red and Langoliers.
Has no one mentioned The Shining yet? I know that Stephen King dislikes the film and probably everyone has seen it already. But I have to mention it because it is still one of my favorite horror films of all time. Bonus points for the 4K Bluray because it looks absolutely amazing.
og pet sematary from the 80s was stupid good fun
i already played with mommy, now i want to play with youuuuuuu
The Langoliers of course... Don't judge me.
I'm more in it for the Mike Flanagan of it all, but the brand new Carrie TV show adaptation that came out this month is good so far. I have two episodes to go.
"The Dead Zone" was way better than I thought it'd be. Worth a watch!
M-O-O-N, that spells The Stand (1994). Such a great miniseries.
Misery, Stand By Me, The Running Man (1987), and The Dead Zone for movies and 11/22/63 and Under The Dome for TV shows.
Life of chuck
Dr. Sleep
Christine was awesome.
and if you enjoy cheesy action flicks: running man, with arnold Schwarzenegger :D
The Shining ofc. Yes, it's not super faithful to the source material, and King notoriously hated it, but it is such an all-time classic!
The Stand miniseries 1994 and dreamcatcher 2003 they are not the best but they are my favorites
I need to dig out my Nightmares & Dreamscapes dvds. I think I liked those. Same with Storm of the Century.
If it’s gonna be Stephen King then it’s gotta be by Frank Darabont, imho.
