The ink was barely dry on the first copies of King’s novel about a haunted car before John Carpenter’s screen adaptation was in theaters. Movie available on Amazon and Amazon UK, TV series available on Amazon (US only) Christine (1983)

The book also inspired a TV series starring Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny. King’s lyrical novel became a poignant movie from David Cronenberg, who put aside the body horror for something more poetic. Johnny Smith (an outstanding Christopher Walken) wakes from a five-year coma to find that he can see the future…and realizes he’s the only one who can stop a megalomaniac politician (who seems all too familiar now) from wrecking the world. Followed by less impressive remakes in 2002 (a TV movie) and 2013 (a theatrical release).ġ976 version: Amazon and Amazon UK, 2002 version: Netflix, 2013 version: Amazon and Amazon UKĪvailable on Amazon and Amazon UK The Dead Zone (1983) / (2002–2007) The 1976 film starring Sissy Spacek as a young girl whose psychokinetic fury is unleashed by relentless high school bullying was the first King adaptation (of his first published novel) and still one of the best. But we’re satisfied that this is a King list fans can easily binge for weeks on end - whether you’re trapped by a raging snowstorm in an empty hotel or locked in your house due to an apocalyptic pandemic. Your mileage may vary, and you may want to dig deeper for a few favorites we’ve left out.

We’ve curated that list down to a manageable three dozen or so, both big and small screen, that are 1) all available for streaming and 2) significant or notable in some way. Knock off the nine Children of the Corn sequels and the two additional Mangler movies (which, c’mon, none of those are making anyone’s “best of King” list), and you’ve still got a significant bounty of King-inspired content to plow through, even if not all of them are exactly top-tier fare. By our estimate, there are some 87 different theatrical movies, TV or streaming movies, TV series and limited series based on the works of Stephen King.
