The Dark World of Stephen King

Horror

With over 50 published novels and 200 short stories, perhaps no author in the history of literature is more prolific than Stephen King. This list of Stephen King TV adaptations also proves that the horror master is one of the most adaptable commercial writers. Mr. King still treats writing as an everyday job, promising to put in at least 4-6 hours every single day, and will not stop writing until he pens at least 2,000 words. From Mr. Mercedes&nbsp;to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stephen-king-castle-rock-easter-eggs/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Castle Rock</a>, here is the exhaustive list of Stephen King TV shows and Stephen King TV movies.

King&rsquo;s adaptations are certainly amendable. For example, his 1980 horror novella The Mist was first a feature length major motion picture released in 2007. In 2017, the novella was also adapted for the small screen on&nbsp;the cable channel Spike&nbsp;in the form of a ten-episode season. One of King&rsquo;s most popular big screen adaptations came in 1980 with Stanley Kubrick&rsquo;s horror masterpiece The Shining. That film was adapted for the small screen&nbsp;in 1997 in a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-shining-1997/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">three-episode television miniseries</a> that aired on ABC. Sometimes the adaptations stay in the same format - The Stand was adapted as a miniseries in 1994 and will be adapted again in 2019 as a limited TV series.

The King of Horror&#39;s&nbsp;works have translated into mini-series, made for TV movies, limited series, and long-running TV shows. Which small screen adaptation is your favorite? Which one missed the mark? Make your voice heard and vote up the best Stephen King television adaptations.

By definition <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-horror-films-ever-made" target="_blank">horror movies</a> are meant to be frightening. They&rsquo;re a safe trip into the depths of the subconscious, a place to explore&nbsp;the worst the imagination can offer. But every once in a while a filmmaker shoots a scene that they later realize is so disturbing the audience will feel jarred out of the &quot;safety&quot; of the film. A situation that leaves viewers feeling repulsed rather than delightfully spooked.&nbsp;In terms of art, less is more, and the directors of horror movies with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-movies-with-different-cuts/maggie-clancy" target="_blank">disturbing deleted scenes</a> recognized&nbsp;that back-to-back scenes of mutilation and terror aren&#39;t enjoyable.&nbsp;

Part of the filmmaking process is shooting more footage than a director may actually end up using in the final edit. Despite the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/horror-films-with-dangerous-sets/david-sharp" target="_blank">difficulty and risks</a> of filming and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/horrific-horror-movie-stories/juliet-bennett-rylah" target="_blank">excruciating effort</a> that goes into making movies, it&#39; s just worth it to have more to work with. This maximalist approach is why these scenes that were too scary for horror movies exist.&nbsp;

For the horror film enthusiast who always wants more, these gruesome cut scenes are like delayed icing on the blood-soaked cake. Read on to discover some of the worst scenes cut from horror movies and think about whether or not they should have made it into the final cut. And, if you love all things spooky, check out this list of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-horror-series/ranker-tv" target="_blank">scariest shows on television.&nbsp;</a>

When it comes to <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/horror-tv-shows-and-series/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">horror TV shows</a>, they aren&#39;t worth much if they don&#39;t creep you out just from watching them. On the surface, horror shows are inherently creepy, but not every horror television show is creepier than the next. What makes a horror show creepy has a lot to do with the level of suspense, shock, and outright horror that unfolds on the scene. Where <a href="/list/most-exciting-horror-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">exciting horror series</a> tend to trigger the &quot;fight&quot; side of the fight-or-flight response, creepy horror is all about &quot;flight.&quot; Or just hiding.

Anthology series like HBO&#39;s Tales from the Crypt did a great job of scaring the crap out of the audience in some episodes, while others were creepy just for the sake of being creepy. On the other side, you have series like Hannibal, which features a villain whose creepiness makes him too scary not to love, so there is a wide range of horror series to choose from when looking for the right kind of creep factor.

Horror to Revisit

Stanley Kubrick&#39;s The Shining&nbsp;is considered to be one of the scariest movies in horror history. It also&nbsp;routinely appears on lists of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time" target="_blank">best films of all time</a>.&nbsp;Everyone loves the film,&nbsp;except for the one person whose opinion really&nbsp;matters:&nbsp;the author of the original book, Stephen King. From the moment Kubrick&#39;s film was released in 1980, King began voicing his disapproval, and in 1997, he finally did something about it.&nbsp;

King convinced ABC to air a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-characters-shining-miniseries-cast/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">remake of The Shining</a>, written by King himself&nbsp;and directed by Mick Garris, who also&nbsp;directed&nbsp;the miniseries adaptation of King&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-stand-mini-series-cheesy/jacob-shelton?ref=search" target="_blank">The Stand</a>. When The Shining TV series was released in &#39;97, horror fans were perplexed. The three-episode miniseries definitely infused&nbsp;the story with King&rsquo;s voice, but perhaps not for the better.
