The Mist (2007)
I never read the story it’s based on, but holy shit I love that movie. It has such a great mix of monster movie vibes, and the bleak-as-fuck ending honestly really sends it home.
ETA: there’s apparently a black and white version that I’ve never seen but really want to.
The film had an ending so that checks out!
(Both endings are good for different reasons)
The original 1970s Carrie adaptation with Sissy Spacek. Captures an era perfectly, and all the female leading actresses are so good.
The 1970s mini series of Salems Lot. Great cast. Super creepy thanks to Tobe Hooper’s direction.
“The Dead Zone” was way better than I thought it’d be. Worth a watch!
Has no one mentioned The Shining yet? I know that Stephen King dislikes the film and probably everyone has seen it already. But I have to mention it because it is still one of my favorite horror films of all time. Bonus points for the 4K Bluray because it looks absolutely amazing.
The bathtub scene still gives me the creeps and when they called back to it in Dr Sleep it scared the shit out of me
Seconding Carrie and The Mist, I also like Rose Red and Langoliers.
I’m surprised how good Dr Sleep was
I felt they did a fantastic job with the cast/characters without significantly editing the story
M-O-O-N, that spells The Stand (1994). Such a great miniseries.
Misery, Stand By Me, The Running Man (1987), and The Dead Zone for movies and 11/22/63 and Under The Dome for TV shows.

The Shining ofc. Yes, it’s not super faithful to the source material, and King notoriously hated it, but it is such an all-time classic!
og pet sematary from the 80s was stupid good fun
i already played with mommy, now i want to play with youuuuuuu
I need to dig out my Nightmares & Dreamscapes dvds. I think I liked those. Same with Storm of the Century.
If it’s gonna be Stephen King then it’s gotta be by Frank Darabont, imho.
