King wrote “The Body” which was made into “Stand By Me”. The movie was better than the book.
I agree that “The Stand” was outstanding. The made for TV movie was pretty good too.
I read “The Shining”...meh.
The Stand was a spectacular mini-series. Spine chilling. The best of King by far. The Shining and Pet Sematary (the first) were the only King movies that I thought very entertaining.
