I'm presuming they don't count since they were TV movies or mini-series, like Desperation, and not cinema movies.

The Lawnmower Man is missing, though, that wasn't a TV movie (although he did have his name taken off of it)

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.

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

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.

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 was not based on a book, he wrote the screenplay. Creepshow should be included though

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.
