If you've ever seen a clown at a party and got scared out of your wits, then you probably have Stephen King's books to thank for the trauma. Stephen King has been scaring people's socks off since 1974 - that's half a century’s worth of incredible horror stories.

Chucky 3 director Jack Bender is currently directing an adaptation of King’s 2019 book, The Institute, and Edgar Wright is helming a new iteration of 1982’s The Running Man. Meanwhile, Francis Lawrence is working with Lionsgate on The Long Walk, which was released in 1979 under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman.
