Which Stephen King Movie Is the Scariest?

High price of gas freaking you out? That's nothing compared to the chaos that could ensue should your car ever spring to life. Or maybe a girl with no idea how to control her pyrokinesis upsets you more? Help us decide which Stephen King movie is the scariest.
Catch Christine and Firestarter tonight on AMC. Then vote in our poll and rate which of the Master's movies has "It". (Forgive the pun.)












Pet Sematary, still gives me the willies. That sweet girls' poor grey cat "Church" set a disturbing mood. Then it escalated to a disastrous wreckage and finally climaxed with the wifes butcher knife in the doctor.
pet sematary wasn't as scary as carrie,that one is the one you shouldn't watch with the lights off
" IT " was the most phenom movie. Today I watched 1408 on DVD and jumped quite a bit. Anyof King's movies are worth the thrill ! !
I think that THE STAND is scariest movie he made. since it could really happen in todays world.the accidental release of a bio-toxin that has a kill percetage of 99.9999.that is 1 person out of 1 millon people that surive..... and it would be worldwide all that would take is 1 person that was exposed to get on a plane and infect the plane staff the people on the plane and people where they land. and we have destroyed the human race!!!!! THAT IS SCARY
"Carrie" is my number one scariest Stephen King movie. I have watched it in broad daylight with the sun shining and knowing exactly where the hand comes out and I STILL jump!
"It" doesn't even register on the scary meter for me. I like it and think the story is good, but it's not that scary. But then, I don't seem to have the bizarre fear of clowns that so many do. Rather than being scared of clowns, I think they are beneath contempt.
Why isn't "'Salem's Lot" on this list? That was a pretty good movie!
Scariest is the original Salem's Lot. Those scenes with the vampires floating outside the windows gave me the chills.
Watched THE Stand last night (seen it before) It is a reminder of the book of Revelations in the Bible. How true IS the movie? Scary HUH???
Shawshank Redemption. Kidding, my vote goes for Carrie.
Off topic, any know what the song is that plays on the current AMC "This is..." ad?
The text on the ad goes "This is Honor", "This is Courage" and shows famous clips from movies. The track is like a downbeat, hiphop instrumental with a piano riff in the background.
If anyone knows what it is, or how might find out, I thank you in advance.
Note to AMC: People ask the "What song is..." question regarding your commercials all the time (Google search "music amc commercial" and you'll see what I mean.). Perhaps a page on your site with the commercials themselves and a track listing would be cool. I know me and the thousands of people asking these questions would.
Cheers.
the shining. very intense. "no tv no beer make homer something something."
My vote goes to The Shining or Carrie. A living car or sparky girl just doesn't match up to the mind games.
Tough call on this one since I am a King fan. All time scariest would have to be the orginal Salem's Lot. Then I would have to say It. After that would be Misery,(hell just the thought of an obsessive fan scares the crap out of most celebs and I don't blame them. Would also have to give an honorable mention to Pet Sematary and Storm of the Century. Still freaky to hear the creature singing "I'm a little teapot".
Between "Firestarter" and "Christine", it would be a tie at my house.
The scariest movie by Stephen King is ,(my
favorite), "The SHINING". Jack Nicholson nailed it
in that movie! I'm glad we have DVD because I wore
out the video tape long ago...
