Stephen King, the Master of Horror, has written 50 books, all of them bestsellers, selling over 350 million copies worldwide.

It is no surprise the brilliantly disturbing musings in the pages of his novels have been adapted into some of the world's most famous horror films.
In celebration of Stephen King's ground-breaking novels, please join us every other Saturday in June and July for a Stephen King film series showcasing his most famous film adaptations.
