Stephen King at the Movies

Book Description:

No single author has been adapted more regularly than Stephen King.

There are sixty-five existing movies, thirty television shows, and seven individual episodes (of multi-author anthology shows like The Twilight Zone) based on his work.

The industry that surrounds King is one that embodies the very nature of Hollywood, the strange allure of the horror genre, and the accessibility of his folkloric depiction of America. The concept of the King adaptation lies at the core of what we understand as screen entertainment.

Illustrated with a fabulous array of familiar and unusual iconography, this is a complete account of the films and television series adapted from the work of Stephen King — the literary Steven Spielberg. Including fresh critical analysis, interviews, making of stories and biographical elements, it is a King completist’s dream and a set text for any movie fan.

• An encyclopedic exploration of Stephen Kingadaptations: from Carrie (1976) to It Chapter 2 (2019) 
• Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 essentialimages, including unseen behind-the-scenes stills
