Mike Flanagan loves an adaptation. He’s already tackled The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Midnight Club, but he has a particular predilection for the work of Stephen King. From Doctor Sleep to Gerald’s Game and the upcoming The Life of Chuck, the two have established a strong partnership.

Adapting a Stephen King novel is no easy feat, and the recent Salem's Lot movie and its reception is proof of that. The 2024 Max movie left audiences with mixed-to-negative reactions, especially due to comparisons with the iconic TV miniseries. However, there is another adaptation of the same novel that is worth another look.

Written and directed by Longlegs helmer Osgood Perkins and adapted from King's short story of the same name, The Monkey follows twin brothers Hal and Bill (both played by Theo James), who witnessed a string of horrifying deaths as children after discovering their father's toy monkey in the attic.

One Stephen King adaptation may be finally coming to Netflix, but it has a long complicated history with the legendary Stephen Spielberg.

Horror author Stephen King, whose spine-chilling tales have been adapted into numerous films and TV series, has given his seal of approval to an 'insane' new film that's been dubbed 'sadistic' by early viewers.
