Known primarily as the Master of Horror, King can surprise you with the versatility of his storytelling.Īlthough the following is primarily a reading list, we felt it prudent to mention that the films of King’s career are almost inextricably linked to his career as an author. While horror films like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Andy Muschietti’s It are instantly recognizable as Stephen King material, many movie fans are surprised to learn that Oscar-nominated films such as Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Green Mile are also adaptations of King’s fiction.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone living in contemporary America who has not seen at least one film or television adaptation of Stephen King’s work.
