From a possessed killer car (CHRISTINE) to an experiment in virtual reality gone wrong (the very loosely adapted THE LAWNMOWER MAN) to a searing portrait of a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship (DOLORES CLAIBORNE), Stephen King has given more tales of terror to the cinema than virtually any other writer. This selection of deep-cut gems from the vast galaxy of films adapted from his works demonstrate how virtuosic storytelling can make the leap from page to screen with shock and suspense fully intact.

Featuring:
CHRISTINE (John Carpenter, 1983)
THE LAWNMOWER MAN (Brett Leonard, 1992)
DOLORES CLAIBORNE (Taylor Hackford, 1995)
SECRET WINDOW (David Koepp, 2004)
