Stephen King was the first time in writing the script with the horror movie in the eighties of the last century

Stephen King is one of the most abundant authors who lived ever, and there is no need to set a qualification on his primary focus on this type. Whether we are talking about the imagination of terror or just a fantasy in general, the work of King has achieved a large condemnation through a variety of types, lengths and even borrowed names. When it comes to the King -adapted material on the screen, most of the movies and TV programs are already in this type of terror. While the number of films and shows that adapt somewhat large, they diminish compared to the literary production of the author. Thus, when the vast majority of the literature of the king is the best -selling and beloved, the filmed versions have uneven reputation. After all, even the king himself The famous Stanley Cubic movie “The Shinging”, which is “The Shing”. A film is considered a classic horror.

Add a reputation to the king’s screen The only guideline effort of the same man: 1986 “the maximum individual”. While a slice of cheese in the eighties of the twentieth century has gained worship over the decades, there is no denial because its magic A more suspicious and less clear nature What he promises to compose the king. Certainly, her marketing campaign did not help, as King himself appeared in the movie trailer, and literally promised to “intimidate hell from you.” Ironically, King does not need to sell this difficult thing, because although the “maximum excess” was for the first time in the guidance, King has already proven as a screenwriter who can already move the fans of cinema. With the help of his colleague George A. Romero on the steering chair, King made his first appearance in writing the script with “Creepshow” for the year 1982. Although contemporary critics of this period did not consider the film very nervous, everyone realized the success of the film, as it became a great success in this fall, as it achieved 21 million dollars on a budget of $ 8 million. “Creepshow” not only helped Portmanteau the return of horror, but has proven that King can write on the screen as well as the page.

As many scenario authors and directors have discovered, adapting one of the King’s novels often on the screen is not a simple task. Either King realizes this nature or disturbed this problem in another way with its first scenario, because “Creepshow” is a selected movie consisting of five short slides. Although there is a cabbage, this is the type of anthropological film where the parts do not intertwine, so King is not required to worry about a comprehensive narration. Some of the most popular and beloved works are its short stories, and “Creepshow” explains the reason for this, because each sector is the perfect length for presenting individual macabre mots.

Of course, King had a good template to follow, as he and Romero sought to design the movie as a classic comic books published by EC Comics in the fifties. This comedy was primarily consisting of four short horror tales, and each had a small Henry -style development, where the heroes would get fair sweets. “Creepshow” reactivated this coordination in the 1980sThis leads to the famous TV series “Tales from The Crypt” in 1989.

In addition to writing it, “Creepshow” also offers a strange talent in King’s: Acting. The second part of the movie, “The Lonsome Death of Jordy Verill”, sees that King plays the role of a roaming fool who coincides with a meteorite that contains a very life strain of plant life. The king gives An effective comic performance in the roleAbout what could have been a very harsh tale of the fate of the deadly man into a mizor funny caricature. Despite the king It will later Continue to appear in many modifications to his books and a few films made by friendsHe never followed the acting as a side profession. One assumes that he was busy enough in the typewriter.

While “Creepshow” is the first suitable King’s scenario, it was not the first complete original work written on the screen. Two sectors were adapted in the movie – “Jordy Verrill” (entitled “Weeds” originally) and “The Crate” – from short stories that the author formulated in the 1970s. The scenario coming from King from various short short stories and novels was adapted, with “PET Seematary” in 1989 is the first adaptation of the king to one of his full novels. Finally, in 1992, King Expryly’s first script was manufactured on the screen: “Sleepwalkers”, directed by the repeated collaborator Mick Garris.

Although these two attractions in the King’s profession were a decade away, the films cannot be more different, and this may help clarify why “Sleepwalkers” has become the last original scenario of the king. Where “Creepshow” got a lot of miles from the short story structure, King struggles with the full narration of “Sleepwalkers” slightly. Ironically, the film seems to be an adaptation of a longer book, given the amount of myths and background that it seems to have succeeded in this Half a half -cat vampire glimpsed during the movie, but it was never completely placed. However, the “Sleepwalkers” ambition certainly does not harm the movie, Garris maintains procedures within 91 narrow minutes, and a king is not allowed to escape with the length of the movie. The king, who clearly loves the restrictions imposed on prose writing, is likely to be really warm for his writing experience directly on the screen, and to choose the focus instead on adapting his pre -existing work for some of the projects that were photographed in the future.

Although it will be good for some King’s films more in the there, it is still great that we have “Creepshow” and “Sleepwalkers” as a unique standing in the King Film Canon movie. And who knows – in 2025 alone, we have “The Monkey”, “The Life Of Chuck”, “The Long Walk”, “The Running Man”, four stories and films that still prove the length of the king’s life and its diversity. King on Screen is still vital and vibrant, so the writer may be convinced to Hollywood to write a new screen for the screen again. Who knows if this may happen or when, but if that happens, this will be a screaming.
