	Missing The Stand

	Gold26:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 17:37 GMT	1 point
	I'm presuming they don't count since they were TV movies or mini-series, like Desperation, and not cinema movies.

	jshopa:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 18:13 GMT	1 point
	The Lawnmower Man is missing, though, that wasn't a TV movie (although he did have his name taken off of it)

	ManlyStump:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 18:38 GMT	2 points
	Definitely shouldn't include the Lawnmower Man. He had his name taken off with good reason; the film had nothing whatsoever in common with his short story, save for the title! And although its quite apparent to proper King fans, it would be nice if you could put in the details that you are only including theatrical releases.

	Where's It?

	thekaraokeking:	Jan 19th, 2010 at 23:23 GMT	1 point
	it and the stand along with many others were tv mini series, i only included theatrical releases, i didn't count movies that were not directly from written work, and with all rights just did not put the lawnmower man on this list because he had his name removed from the movie

	ianmez:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 02:57 GMT	1 point
	You ask for the "stories" that were turned into movies but only accept the movie titles as answers--ie, "The Body" and "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" to name two quick examples. Maybe ask for movies based on his stories, instead? Picky, I know. Nice quiz.

	very true thanks

	jefrunner:	Apr 4th, 2010 at 22:34 GMT	1 point
	Forgot The Shawshank Redemption! face palm Maybe put Lawnmower Man as a bonus answer, for the reasons given above? Or maybe some of the TV movies as bonuses. Of course, I may be the only person on earth who really liked The Langoliers.

	Do Richard Bachman books still get printed as Richard Bachman? I realize it's common knowledge at this point, but perhaps mention (an asterisk, even) should be made of books not technically by "Stephen King?" ... Really enjoyed the quiz, though. Thanks for compiling it!

	Sleepwalkers? Creepshow?

	alpha:	May 14th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT	1 point
	sleepwalkers was not based on a book, he wrote the screenplay. Creepshow should be included though

	JohnShade:	May 14th, 2010 at 22:18 GMT	1 point
	Manlystump, that's exactly why you don't include The Lawnmower Man. It wasn't based on the King story, it just took the name. As for this quiz, it's not anywhere near comprehensive and the choices seem arbitrary (why are the Creepshow movies not included? they had theatrical releases...). So, it's no fun.

	No It?

	You should consider including Rose Red and Storm of the Century.
