Re: The best Stephen King adaption thread
Seen both the IT films and TV series.
Thought the first film when they were kids was better than the second film as adults.
Although, Bill Hader was great as the adult Richie.
Isn’t the book well over a thousand pages?

Re: The best Stephen King adaption thread
Is there any King thing of some profile which has never been adapted for the screen?

Re: The best Stephen King adaption thread
I just remembered Nightmares & Dreamscapes, a TV series of King short stories.
One is called Battleground. A man upsets a toystore owner. Soon, a package arrives on the man's doorstep. It's from the toystore.
Crazy stuff. Unlike anything I've ever seen.

Amazing viewing.
There's another one called 'The Road Virus Heads North'. I wasn't mad about the adaptation but I really like the short story. There's this painting.

Possibly... hmm. I read a whole King collection of shorties in a red and white hardback. You know what, the title just came to me: Everything's Eventual.
If it's in that, I've read it. I only remember Road Virus.

Everything's Eventual contents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything%27s_Eventual
1408 is in there. I've seen the film and didn't realise I've read it too or that it was even a King story. As you said Rando, King does pop up. Can't remember the name of the actor in the film. Samuel L Jackson is involved.
