However, not all of King’s collections have such an impressive hit rate when it comes to screen adaptations. One of these, the critically-derided The Children of the Corn, managed to begin a long-running horror franchise, while another (“Trucks”) was adapted not once, but twice, as an expensive King-directed flop and as a smaller scale television movie. King’s endlessly influential early collection Night Shift, for example, spawned no less than ten adaptations between television and cinema screens.

King has numerous short story collections, some of which are all horror and others of which bounce back and forth between different genres depending on the tale.
Some of the most well-loved King movies are adapted from the author’s large back catalog of short stories, such as The Shawshank Redemption. However, not all of King’s adaptations come from the author’s many novels.
