Idea for ‘Stephen King’s Books, Movies & TV Fans, to Get What I Think All of Us Want More ‘Steven King’s Stories on TV. (piefed.social)

I been re-watching ‘Stranger Things’, to prepare to for the show shutting down. Like the show, but it seems almost like a ‘Stephen King’ knock off, more so with every sense begun. I also love the original ‘Twilight Zone’ best SciFi stories ever made, better than any TV & Movies ever made. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched them, but give me $100 each episode I have watched & I would become the richest person in the world. I really liked the original ‘Amazing Stories’ as well. I liked all the remakes of both series that followed.

So, here is my idea-

Create a TV series that takes ‘Stephen King’s stories, mostly the books, & makes at least one-entire season out of each of his stories. Maybe, need to increase seasons’ at least 1+-Hr. episodes to at least 20. Maybe, even do more than 1-‘Stephen King’ stories at a time, already doing that for other famous authors.

Sounds like “Castle Rock”.

    Interesting how so?

    I thought I seen some it (need to watch it all) & used the link you provided, but it just a series by ‘Stephen King’, not a single (or maybe two) shows/series, for one or more season(s) per ‘Stephen King’s story (so many I could list, but since ‘It’, ‘Castle Rock’ & soon ‘Dark Tower’ covered already, just top of my mind- ‘Green Mile’, ‘Dead Zone’, ‘The Shawshank Redemption’, ‘Christine’, ‘Cujo’ & Etc.).

    Hawkins lab is very much The Shop that appears in firestarter. It is a King homage of that there is no debate.

    The show you are describing is Castle Rock and it was an utter dud.

    Love the idea, it's a bit what they tried to do on Channel Zero I think, not working based on Stephen King but doing one big story per season. Unfortunately I didn't really got into it, but kinda like the idea.

    I was wondering if I was to have to put in the thread starting post the question asking what readers thought.

    Yeah, I really do not know why no one has tried this, yet. ‘Stephen King’ should love it,

    Funny, how much I am learning from repliers, about my favorite story teller* ‘Stephen King’ story universe.

    *- In my home I am the expert, because 35-years ago/in HS I read a ton of his books & best horror story ever created ‘It’ is my favorite,

    ‘Creep Show’ was from ‘Stephen King’? I did not know that,

    I did not really like the series of ‘Creep Show’ movies (only series of movies right?), so did not watch a lot of them.

    It is different because while ‘Creep Show’ develops a segment of the movies to each story, I am talking about picking out best stories & developing each of them into at least 1-season of 1+-Hrs. per episode, maybe, 20-episodes per season.
