Stephen King has written some of the most beloved horror novels in the history of popular fiction, and many have been turned into equally acclaimed and successful films. Movies like "Carrie," "Stand by Me" and "The Shawshank Redemption" have more than earned esteemed spots within the cinematic canon. Others - "Maximum Overdrive," "Thinner," "The Dark Tower" - have not.
But what about the small screen? As with the film adaptations, attempts to bring King's books to life on TV have had mixed results, and few have reached the heights of "The Green Mile" or "Misery." But thanks to the longer running time afforded by a series, several of King's more unwieldy novels have proved better suited to television than to the multiplex.
