The Mist (2007)

I never read the story it's based on, but holy shit I love that movie. It has such a great mix of monster movie vibes, and the bleak-as-fuck ending honestly really sends it home.

ETA: there's apparently a black and white version that I've never seen but really want to.

    The original 1970s Carrie adaptation with Sissy Spacek. Captures an era perfectly, and all the female leading actresses are so good.

    The 1970s mini series of Salems Lot. Great cast. Super creepy thanks to Tobe Hooper’s direction.

    I'm more in it for the Mike Flanagan of it all, but the brand new Carrie TV show adaptation that came out this month is good so far. I have two episodes to go.

    M-O-O-N, that spells The Stand (1994). Such a great miniseries.

    Misery, Stand By Me, The Running Man (1987), and The Dead Zone for movies and 11/22/63 and Under The Dome for TV shows.

    "The Dead Zone" was way better than I thought it'd be. Worth a watch!

    The Shining ofc. Yes, it's not super faithful to the source material, and King notoriously hated it, but it is such an all-time classic!

    I need to dig out my Nightmares & Dreamscapes dvds. I think I liked those. Same with Storm of the Century.

    The Stand miniseries 1994 and dreamcatcher 2003 they are not the best but they are my favorites

  • Dead Zone would be my pick. It's not just a good movie, King himself said that this was one of his favorite adpatations ever.

    If it’s gonna be Stephen King then it’s gotta be by Frank Darabont, imho.
