When it comes to authors, no one is more prolific than Stephen King, whose writings have been adapted again and again for film, including The Boogeyman, which has just premiered in theaters. A new documentary, King of Screen, from director Daphné Baiwir will explore King’s legacy of terror and the films we all love to fear. “In 1976, Brian de Palma directed Carrie, the first novel by Stephen King. Since then, more than 50 directors have adapted the master of horror’s books in more than 80 films and series, making him the most adapted author alive.

There’s no way around it; when a movie becomes a classic, studios aim to milk it for all its worth. A prime example is the Halloween-centered franchise Hocus Pocus.
