10 Cancelled Horror Movies That Would Have Been LEGENDARY

10. From A Buick 8

Stephen King is such a prolific writer, it's not surprising to learn Christine isn't his only novel detailing a haunted car. In 2002, the master of horror penned From a Buick 8, which centres around a 1953 Buick that's actually a portal to a demonic dimension.

Numerous directors considered adapting the story, including William Brent Bell, Tobe Hooper, and Jim Mickle. However, George A. Romero's iteration got the furthest in development. Romero already proved he could adapt King's work with The Dark Half and had directed the esteemed author in Creepshow, and after King gave the script a thumbs up and Tobe Hooper was signed on to direct, it seemed like a sure thing.

Unfortunately, From a Buick 8 was shaping up to be more of a cosmic mystery than a standard popcorn flick, causing financing to stall, but there is some good news, as co-creator of Saw and The Conjuring, James Wan, has recently purchased the rights for From a Buick 8, so it's likely an adaptation will emerge.

Considering how passionate George A. Romero was for the project and Stephen King's work as a whole, it's a pity that version didn't see the light of day.
