Stephen King is one of the most prolific authors alive, but he is just as well known for the movies and adaptations made from his books and stories as for his writing. Use this list of King’s movies, short films and TV shows to find out if your favorite book has been adapted to the screen or to find new King movies to enjoy.

The Early Years: King’s First Movies

Although King wrote a column for his high school newspaper and short stories to augment his income after he graduated from college in 1966, it wasn’t until 1971, when he took a job teaching high school English classes at a public high school in Maine, that he had the time write in evenings and on weekends on his first novels. In the spring of 1973, “Carrie” was accepted for publication and its subsequent major paperback sale provided him with the means to leave teaching and write full-time. Shortly afterward, he began work on Salem’s Lot. In time, both would become movies, and Steven King’s prolific career was off and running.

  • 1976 – Carrie
  • 1979 – Salem’s Lot

1980-1989: Bestsellers and Pseudonyms

In the ’80s, King put his college dramatic society experience to use making cameo appearances in adaptations of his work. He first appeared in Creepshow in 1982 and made his directorial debut with the movie Maximum Overdrive, an adaptation of his short story “Trucks” in 1985. He continued to turn out bestseller after bestseller, many of which were eventually made into big-screen films.

King tested his success in the ’80s by writing several short novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. They included “The Running Man” in 1982 and “Thinner” in 1984. After he was outed as the true author, he announced the “death” of Bachman.
