Not a huge fan of his books, but apparently this is a list of the movies he considers to be the scariest. Many of the films on his list are surprisingly modern. I was looking down this list and thinking, hmm not what I'd consider scary but everyone has their own opinion. Then I got to one of his picks and just thought "WTF?"

Stephen King's 22 Favorite Horror Movies Are...

    The Autopsy of Jane Doe – André Řvredal, 2016

    The Blair Witch Project – Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, 1999

    The Changeling – Peter Medak, 1980

    Crimson Peak – Guillermo del Toro, 2015

    Dawn of the Dead – Zack Snyder, 2004

    Deep Blue Sea – Renny Harlin, 1999

    The Descent – Neil Marshall, 2005

    Duel – Steven Spielberg, 1971

    Les Diaboliques – Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955

    Final Destination – James Wong, 2000

    Event Horizon – Paul W.S. Anderson, 1997

    The Hitcher – Robert Harmon, 1986 and Dave Meyers, 2007

    The Last House on the Left – Dennis Iliadis, 2009

    The Mist – Frank Darabont, 2007

    Night of the Demon – Jacques Tourneur, 1957

    The Ruins – Carter Smith, 2008

    Sorcerer – William Friedkin, 1977

    Stepfather – Joseph Ruben, 1986

    Stir of Echoes – David Koepp 1999

    The Strangers – Bryan Bertino, 2008

    Village of the Damned – Wolf Rilla, 1960

    The Witch – Robert Eggers, 2015

I'm thinking "WTF?" on lotsa this.

Well, he thought his TV version of the SHINING was better than Kubrick's, so..... Lookingup
OK, Stephan, you can s**t out books like Stan Lee s**ts out comics, but your taste in horror films is dismal.

I agree. I don't find his books very readable, either.

I laughed pretty hard at FINAL DESTINATION.

Stephen King is overrated.  Twirling
