Like if Carrie or The Shining got new films. Do you think they would be good or crap?

The did Carrie already...it was okay.

They did a TV movie version of The Shining back in the 90's that was pretty good, albeit less creepy compared to the original.

Pretty much everything that was made into a TV miniseries could be re-adapted for the movie theater. I wouldn't touch The Shining or Carrie. Those movies were good.

I feel like they could do a better version of Pet Semetary

I would think his less supernatural stories would work better as a movie/ mini-series. Than the majority of his others that involve ghosts, vampires, demons, cosmic clowns, etc. It's just easier to tell a story that involve real people dealing with normal-esqe situations. Than it is to adapt a story about weird shit.

Desperation could be incredible if handled correctly.

Black House could be an awesome modern haunted house movie

they should do a movie for The Eyes of the Dragon. thanks to the popularity of Game of Thrones, people might eat it up. I always thought it was one of his better but lesser known books.

It has so little plot that you could probably do it in a half hour.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon could be a short movie.

I enjoyed Desperation. They should do a modern version of The Regulators

Idk

Its been so long since I've read either of them, but I don't remember many of the events from The Tailisman seeping over to Black House other than the main character and maybe a few references. I could be wrong though

Tailisman could work, but something tells me it'd kinda be butchered like The Dark Tower
