- IT – IT rises from dank, dark places. IT preys on children. IT knows exactly what scares you and IT never goes away. This 1990 TV mini-series put the town of Derry on the map and instilled a well-deserved fear of balloons and clowns in a generation with actor Tim Curry’s terrifying portrayal of Pennywise.
- SALEM’S LOT – When vampires invade a small New England resort town, one man must face his worst fears to stop the blood-sucking creatures’ plan to take over the innocent community of Salem’s Lot. Directed by Tobe Hooper of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame, this 1979 adaptation of Kings best-selling novel presented a fresh and disturbing take on the vampire legend that still delivers the thrills.
- CREEPSHOW – Two masters of horror–novelist Stephen King and director George Romero, team up to terrorize with a spine-tingling anthology, Creepshow. Based on classic horror comics, loaded with special effects and featuring a cameo from King himself, Creepshow is a funhouse ride of campy scares.
- CAT’S EYE – A stray cat guides us through each tale in this Stephen King-based anthology favorite. Heavy on the suspense and featuring a young Drew Barrymore, Cat’s Eye offers a quirky take on classic King fare.
