15 Most Critically Adored Stephen King Adaptations

3. Creepshow (1982)

Pennywise It
Warner Bros.

Rating: 69%

It might not be one of the most memorable of the King adaptations, but this five film collection, directed by horror legend George Romero deserves to be considered a cult delight.

It's self-consciously funny, but doesn't compromise anything in the creepy stakes, and it is genuinely scary. And not just because of King's acting ability.
