One of the very few King adaptions I've never seen, along with Hearts in Atlantis from your list.

There's a few I forgot about too, Thinner, Needful Things being the main two

Yep

I might to another list later in the week, 10 TV and 10 film, should be easy enough considering the amount to choose from

This may be a rare occasion because I could potentially rank my list by preference rather than alphabetical order.

The downside to this thread is it draws so much attention to things I haven't seen which, in this case is the four films listed above, which I now feel duty bound to buy!

I'm sure you'll like the top 3. Sleepwalkers tends to get a bit of stick but i really like it.

[nosferatu42]

Interestingly the favourites so far are -

Salem's Lot ****** 6
Carrie ***** 5
Stand By Me***** 5
Creepshow **** 4

Maybe everybody doesn't love the Shining as much as the best horror lists always make out.
Surprises me that Salem's lot is the top so far, maybe something to do with this scene scaring everybody shitless as a kid.


Creepy little floating bastard.
