Stephen King is one of the most adapted authors all of time, and there are close to 50 feature-length movies based on his novels and short stories. There have been King movies almost as long as there have been King books, with the adaptation of his debut novel, Carrie, arriving two years after its publication. Since then, there have been dozens of adaptations with of various levels of success. King's work makes for such compelling movies, even some that are not part of the horror genre, because they often share the trait of being centered on mostly normal people thrown into horrifying situations.
