Stephen King's fiction has formed the basis of more motion picture adaptations than any other living author. His earliest short stories, collected in the
Night Shift
anthology, have been adapted into hit features including
Creepshow, Children of the Corn, Cat's Eye, Maximum Overdrive, Graveyard Shift, Sometimes They Come Back
, and
The Mangler
. Through his "Dollar Baby" program, King licensed several
stories to aspiring filmmakers for just one dollar each, resulting in numerous student film adaptations.
This book critically examines and contextualizes adaptations of the
short stories, from big box office features to relatively unknown student films. It illuminates how each film is a uniquely and intricately collaborative endeavor, and charts the development of each adaptation from first option to final cut. Through old and new interviews with the creators, the work explores how filmmakers continue to reinvent, reimagine, remake and reboot King's stories.
