made for TV movie in history
: : Great short story...Hollywood made a really stupid virtual reality movie that had absolutely nothing to do with the story...it even said "based on the short story by Stephen King." the only thing it took from the story was the title...
: But I was thinking novels. And, if memory serves, didn't he (King) sue to have his credit removed from Lawnmower Man, simply because it had nothing to do with his story?
: Actually, the only movies adapted from King works (speaking strictly horror related)that I think were done well on film were Carrie and The Shining. Salem's Lot wasn't too bad, but it was made for t.v, and could have done without David Soul. Pet Semetary wasn't too bad on film either, and Misery was good.
