Andy’s escape from Shawshank will always be my favorite Stephen King movie moment. You just can’t ignore the iconic music and cinematography of that scene
As good as Tim Robbins is, the heart of that movie is still Morgan Freeman. That man always digs so deep to produce his characters that he should be an Oscar champion.
That was pretty satisfying. That's why Carrie is my favorite SK book and movie. All she wanted was to be accepted, but everyone abused her, even by the people who should have protected her.
King wrote Dolores Claiborne after Bates stole the show in Misery, hoping that she'd star in it. He wasn't wrong. It's one of her criminally underrated performances.
That's also Kathy Bates favorite role she has done! Can't go wrong with Kathy Bates and completely agree it's criminally under rated. Kathy Bates can play any role given to her I think. And I think it's wonderful she says that Dolores is her favorite role!
Anne Brown- I know, right?! she was just PHENOMINAL in that part! I don't think it was really undrrated, though; I mean, she TOTALLY derserved her Oscar for that performance.
My favorite scene is when John Coffey heals the wardens wife Melinda of a brain tumor in the Green Mile and she gives him her St. Christopher cross. Just a touching scene!
Come on Tim Curry the original Penywise, first like an ordinary clown and then bam shows his true colors, the shower scene still scares me!!! Doesnt matter the new one is more based on the book. The new one looks scary to a kid can trust.
My favorite is either the twins from The Shining, Andy's escape from Shawshank or Coffey's death from Green Mile. One's scary, one's inspiring and one's heartbreaking.
Thanks for adding the baseball boy scene from Dr. Sleep. One of the most unsettling scenes from his movies and I knew it was coming because I read the book. It really does stick with you after!
I can't even describe how much I love Jacob Tremblay. He is one of the best child actors Hollywood has ever seen. That whole sequence was so well done.
Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Here's Johnny 2. Carrie's revenge 3. Georgie's murder That line from the Shining will never get old, it is so iconic, it's one of the best quotes in movie history. Stephen King's first novel movie, Carrie, was a perfect way to start off his work and that scene makes it even more spectacular. And the IT movie is one of the best recent horror movies yet, and Georgie's death scene was a great way to bring the horror into a new generation. Fantastic! Stephen King has to be one of the best novelists of all time.
I am so glad to see the Salems lot entry as it the movie that truly got me into king. I notice that the window scenes are always talked about but I almost never hear people talk about the "look at me" scene which is in my mind one the creepiest movie scenes ever.
I totally loved that film, it was so fun and scary. My sister lived in the Northwest and I went to visit her to see the great cemetary and some of the houses used on the film. That cemetary was really old AND creepy, even at noon on a sunny day, it gave me shivers. The houses were all old Victorian era. I wonder if the town is still the same, I hope so, it was so cool....
I always enjoyed the satisfying revenge moment that Carrie White killed everyone during the prom night to remember and I really don't see her as a villain of her own story.
My favorite is actually the scene from Carry shown in the thumbnail. Seeing Carry actually get revenge on the school that bullied her... It was awesome.
@@blackamerican40 autocorrect is a pain-in-the-ass from tims-to-time but pretty much everybody knows or should know the the original writer was talking about
@@englishatheart how the fuck do u NOT know that it's autocorrect? Also NOT every phone has the option to turn off auto-correct duh 🙄. Think b4 u fucking speak bcuz at this point u sound like ur speaking out of ur ass
For me, one of the best King sequences was in "Shawshank Redemption", when Andy locks himself in the warden's office, and--of all things--plays the Letter Duet from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", putting it on the intercom for the entire prison. The narration was the perfect icing on the cake: "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian women were singing. Truth is, I don't want to know."
My favorites 1. Georgies murder. IT 2017. Bill Skarsgard was phenomenal as pennywise and that scene is disturbing, terrifying and tragic. 2. Here's Johnny. The Shining. All I need to say is Jack Nicholson. 3. Andy's Escape. Shawshank Redemption. One of the best scenes in movie history 4. Coffey's Execution. The green mile. Heartbreaking, emotional and wonderfully acted. 5. Abra meets Rose the hat. Dr. Sleep. When abra shoves rose down the grocery store isle always gives me goosebumps and it's just badass . 6. Carrie's Revenge. Carrie. Karma is a bitch. Ryan narrated the video perfectly.
Carrie unleashing HELL will always be my #1...in any version! Next up, Georgie's death in 'It.' Craig Toomey's death in 'Langoliers.' When Gage gets killed in 'Pet Sematary'....vicious. That hobbling scene from 'Misery'....unexpected & brutal. Think those are my top 5...
The ending of The Mist is definitely going to linger in the horror genre as the perfect way to pull out a heart wrenching, emotional twist just when you thought things couldn't get bleaker for the hero/heroes.
Christine probably wasn’t the best acted and it only loosely followed the book, but I really loved it. This movie and Carrie showed that bullying will not be tolerated.
I think Carrie's mom is a lot worse than Christine. She constantly abuses her, teaches her it's a shame be be a woman, never care about if she's bullied The only thing she teaches Carrie right is how to weave and she learns it well Though Christine is willing to be evil while Margaret may not intend to hurt her children Christine is just the last straw
@Barry Dingle That's because too many religious people think they can do what they want, regardless of how vile and evil it is, because all they have to do is ask for forgiveness and everything will be fine. They don't realize that being granted forgiveness is based on you genuinely being regretful and sorry for your actions. Continuing to do the bad things and thinking going to church is all you need to do to make up for it isn't genuinely wanting forgiveness. You don't continue to do terrible things if you're truly sorry for them.
I really like that King is not gonna offer us that "and they lived on happily" endings all the time. Nope, he's gonna give us damn creepy, horrifying endings if he feels like it, and that's awesome.
What I find funny is how in Cujo, the boy dies in the book but lives in the movie, whereas in The Mist, the boy lives in the book but dies in the movie. 😂
Drew Struzan's illustration of Andy standing in the rain as a portion of the movie poster for Shawshank Redemption is my favorite illustration ever, period. As an illustrator myself, that piece always awes me from the rendering of the rain to the dynamic movement in the arch of Andy's spine and flow of his shirt behind him. I could stare at it forever. Anybody who loves illustrated movie posters needs to check out his work, particularly the book "The Art of Drew Struzan". He's the artist behind just about every iconic illustrated movie poster ever made, and that book has alternate ideas for several of the posters as well as raw pencil drawings for the images we all know so well. For artists in particular, those pencil drawings are _magical._
My dad told me a story about seeing Misery with his friend in 1990. They were both really confused at the start of that scene, and when she picked up the hammer my dad's friend went "Oh my god!"
I always felt that Dr. sleep should’ve been a two-part book/movie. The true knot is such an interesting group and I really feel that they were taken out so quickly and unceremoniously. It would’ve been so cool to explore their backstory individually.
If you're going for the creepiest conversation in movie history its Jack Torrence vs Delbert Grady in the bathroom. Just a simple conversation, but the tension is thru the roof, and its insane how creepy the moment is.
I saw an interview where SK saw the movie in the theater when it was new. He was either in front of or just behind a couple of big guys and when that hand comes out at the end, they jumped and one of them said, "She ain't NEVER gonna be right!" That's when SK knew it would be a success.
What about, in the final scenes of The Stand, when "the Hand of God came down and destroyed the righteous and unrighteous alike". That was a great scene in Las Vegas when Randall Flagg was brought down to his knees. This book and movie will always be my favorites.
I was really into reading Stephen King novels and watching movie adaptations for about a year and a half from late 2002 to around mid 2004. Then I stopped and know very little of any of his works post 2004. I think it was after spending 4.5 years going to college in a small town in Michigan and learning that behind the idyllic facade of your Mayberry-looking small town America there’s a lot of weirdness going on. It’s then not too much of a stretch to imagine the kind of scenarios laid out in Kings stories.
I don’t know if Stephen King likes or hate it that Carrie became a horror musical. Being a fan of his and seeing it, it’s one of my favorite musicals since I turned 15
Cujo was my first Stephen King movie that leads me into a traumatized and fear of dogs much. Way back as a kid ages 10 to 12. Now as a young adult I over calm it.
Carrie is absolutely a favorite of mine! Such a wonderful movie! And the part on Salems lot with him tapping on the window….. oh my gosh I have only seen it once when I was around 10 but I have not forgotten that scene.
Delores Claiborne was filmed in my area. One of my friends had his car as an "extra" but I think the scene was cut. I remember when it was being filmed and how excited everyone was about it.
The little boy Jacob Tremblay’s performance was amazing. As a mom to a little boy this was absolutely gut wrenching to watch. I cried soooooo hard watching and listening to him.
Not sure where I saw it, but I heard somewhere that King went on record to say that he loved the ending of The Mist, and wished that he'd thought of it himself.
It's so hard to pick just 20... there are a LOT more than that- Mr. King is just THE MASTER!!! Although, if I was his daughter, I wouldn't exactly enjoy a bedtime story from Dad. :)
THANK YOU for acknowledging CHRISTINE. 💯 I like Moochi death scene, but my ABSOLUTE favourite is Christine riding, while burning, after biggest annoyance of the movie, when he chose to 'hurt' Arnie 'girlfriend'. 😏
One of the best scenes in Delores Claiborne was not included in the film. In the book, after her husband falls into the well, she looks down--the eclipse is at its zenith--and she sees (as if through a tunnel) a little naked girl, and instantly knows that the girl's father--like her own husband--had been trying to have sex with her. In the book Gerald's Game, we see that little girl as a grown up, she is tied to a bed, her husband on the floor, dead, and she flashes back to the days leading up to the eclipse she witnessed as a child. In the flashback she can't hide from the truth--that she had been jealous of her mother, and wanted her father's attention, so she would do things to try to turn him on sexually. When he rejects her, she get down on her knees and reached for her underwear. They are under the bed. She looks under the bed, just as the eclipse reaches it zenith, she peers beneath the bed and sees--as if at the other end of a dark tunnel, the face of a woman leaning over a well. Instantly, she, like Delores--the woman she sees--knows everything. She knows Delores has just murdered her husband. That scene was so powerful that it made both books good.
That's only in the movie, because that's not how it plays in the novel "Gerald's Game." She wasn't doing it on purpose and didn't know the effect it had on her father to sit on his lap.
At the end of" The Green Mile", when Paul speaks. If Mr jingles has lived more than 200 times his normal 2 year life expectancy and hes still alive now, how long does Paul have before death finally claims him? The last line stayed with me ... “We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile is so long." As the closing shot rests on this tiny sleeping mouse in his little bed. chilling thought.
My most favorite moment in "Stand By Me" would definitely have to be the pie-eating contest story scene because of how hilarious and gross it is for a scene featured in any Steven King movie. Plus, you couldn't help but root for the story's main character, Davie "Lard-A**" Hogan, when he purposefully makes himself sick during the contest as a way of getting back at everyone who made fun of him for this fat weight. ;)
Failing to mention that The Shining twins are a horror hidden Easter egg. Surprisingly in The Cabin in The Woods and a small cameo in a episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
RE: The Shining. Those girls are sisters, not twins. At the start the (manager? or something? of the Hotel) tells Jack their ages and they were 7 and 9 or something. While that scene is good, I found the woman in room 217 to be much scarier. EDIT: I think they changed it to Room 237 in the movie for some reason (or vice versa)
The book? Yes. The movie? No. People need to remove their lips from Kuprick's dead ass. The movie is extremely overrated, boring, and overacted. And it's not even scary.
Once again, it was not Brad Savage as Danny floating outside the window to Lance Kerwin as Mark that was so terrifying, it was Ronnie Scribner as Ralphie scratching at the window for Danny to let him inside earlier that was so terrifying.
In the book missery she cuts off his foot much scarier don't you think . Ending of Carrie in remake one that's closer to book. Why I like book versions more usually. Other wise great list.
5:58 - I don't think I'm out of my league and saying that some of the CGI for this scene was definitely over microwaved for no reason. But, acknowledging that, I like the idea of taking King's original concept for Mrs. Kersh - which is frightening enough on its own - and then adding a distinctly Hollywood monster element to it was a nice touch.
I still think Annie using the axe and blowtorch in the book is better, but when I saw Misery the first time and it got to the hobbling scene I almost screamed! So brutal
Yes I'm a number one fan of our or these picks from memories or moments of Stephen King Movies on Netflix or on Hulu or on the DVDs or on TV or on Apple TV like Burning Down The Facility Firestarter and Waving At Yourself 1408 and The Death Of Baseball Boy Doctor Sleep and The Trap Dolores Claiborne and The Kids Turn On Isaac Children of the Corn and Mrs. Kersh It Chapter Two and Jessie Meets The Real Moonlight Man Gerald's Game and Donna Is Bitten Cujo and Moochie's Death Christine and Achilles Tendon Pet Sematary and Almost Saved The Mist and Danny Visits Mark Salem's Lot and Train Stand by Me and Come Play With Us, Danny The Shining and John Coffey's Execution The Green Mile and Georgie's Murder It and The Hobbling Misery and Andy's Escape The Shawshank Redemption and Carrie's Revenge Carrie and Here's Johnny The Shining and
I also enjoyed the two Carrie remakes where she walked through the town, causing destruction. The same goes for Firestarter 2, where Charlie destroys the whole town after finding the agency she escaped breeding kids with powers!
Even though he hates it, The Shining is regarded as the Best Horror Movie of All Time. WatchMojo’s Top 100 Movies of All Time, anyone? Also, I didn’t know it was parodied in Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Freaked me out as a kid but I didn’t know until now
Stephen King is a sick f**k, but he's an entertaining and skillful storyteller, which is why his stories and characters translate so well to the big screen. You're essentially reading a movie when you read King anyway. Film was the logical extension, and I'm beginning to enjoy the cinematic adaptations much more than the novels. Btw, nothing from "The Stand"?
Fact about me: I can handle any gory scene and just think it’s cool. There is only ONE scene that will make me wince to this day! And it’s #4 with that dang hobbling and her demeanor. She did her thing! But if you read the book, she didn’t do that. No spoilers. Just read and you’ll catch it
For "Carrie", it's specifically the death scene of her mother played exquisitely by Piper Laurie. Piper Laurie and Janet Leigh arguably hold the record for the best kill scenes on film. Interestingly, they were both nominated for the Best Support Actress Oscar for their stellar work.
At the end of Carrie, where her hand appears from the grave, I screamed , jumped in my seat and accidentally hit the stranger in the seat next to me in the face!
Excellent list but I would change the order. Carrie’s revenge should be #1,Shawshank should be #2 and The Shining should be #3 Even though it’s the most iconic. Delores Claiborne is criminally underrated. The Scene in the green Mile in which John coffee cures the wardens wife of her brain tumor should have replaced the rather lame Cujo or Christine and even though the shining is one of my top twenty movie of all time, it doesn’t portray the nature of the book at all in that Jack was crazy along and Shelly duval as Wendy was horrible casting and the power of the shining of the overlook hotel wasn’t properly conveyed

Andy’s escape from Shawshank will always be my favorite Stephen King movie moment. You just can’t ignore the iconic music and cinematography of that scene
Thomas Newman is so underrated. Shawshank, Green Mile, 1917, both Finding Nemo movies, Wall-E, Skyfall, American Beauty and God knows what else.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Also "Road to Perdition" and "Matilda" ❤️
@@SanghaBlack David Newman did Matilda. I think they're brothers (and Randy is their cousin).
@@coolnerdlll6053 Oops, my bad 😅
As good as Tim Robbins is, the heart of that movie is still Morgan Freeman. That man always digs so deep to produce his characters that he should be an Oscar champion.
Carrie slaughtering all those Bullies who tormented her was both Brutal & satisfying to watch.
True dat!! 😂😂
I blame the bullies for the prom massacre, not Carrie. All she ever wanted was to be accepted
I'd rate the scene where Carrie perforates her mother with the contents of every kitchen cutlery drawer as worthy of a mention in this list
@@richardhockey8442 well she was a religious nut who didn’t tell Carrie about adolescence, she had it coming
That was pretty satisfying. That's why Carrie is my favorite SK book and movie. All she wanted was to be accepted, but everyone abused her, even by the people who should have protected her.
King wrote Dolores Claiborne after Bates stole the show in Misery, hoping that she'd star in it. He wasn't wrong. It's one of her criminally underrated performances.
Yes kathy is brilliant as Dolores that movie is so underrated
*An accident, Dolores, can be an unhappy woman's best friend.*
Man...I need to watch that again. Forgot about D.C. what a great flick
That's also Kathy Bates favorite role she has done! Can't go wrong with Kathy Bates and completely agree it's criminally under rated. Kathy Bates can play any role given to her I think. And I think it's wonderful she says that Dolores is her favorite role!
Anne Brown- I know, right?! she was just PHENOMINAL in that part! I don't think it was really undrrated, though; I mean, she TOTALLY derserved her Oscar for that performance.
That infamous scene in Misery just gives you the chills
My favorite scene is when John Coffey heals the wardens wife Melinda of a brain tumor in the Green Mile and she gives him her St. Christopher cross. Just a touching scene!
"Like the drink...only not spelled the same."
"No, ma'am. Not spelled the same at all."
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. We lost you way too soon.
Tim Curry is an absolute legend
You'll float too, you'll float too!! 🎈🎈
I thought the remake was better. It was more like the book!
Come on Tim Curry the original Penywise, first like an ordinary clown and then bam shows his true colors, the shower scene still scares me!!! Doesnt matter the new one is more based on the book. The new one looks scary to a kid can trust.
He’s the best my favourite actor 😊
Pun intended?
My favorite is either the twins from The Shining, Andy's escape from Shawshank or Coffey's death from Green Mile. One's scary, one's inspiring and one's heartbreaking.
Did you know that John Coffey's character was actually based on a real life man who was falsely convicted and executed?
Michael Clarke Duncan was a national treasure
It’s a shame he is gone too soon 😔
Thanks for adding the baseball boy scene from Dr. Sleep. One of the most unsettling scenes from his movies and I knew it was coming because I read the book. It really does stick with you after!
I can't even describe how much I love Jacob Tremblay. He is one of the best child actors Hollywood has ever seen. That whole sequence was so well done.
Top 3 (In my opinion):
1. Here's Johnny
2. Carrie's revenge
3. Georgie's murder
That line from the Shining will never get old, it is so iconic, it's one of the best quotes in movie history. Stephen King's first novel movie, Carrie, was a perfect way to start off his work and that scene makes it even more spectacular. And the IT movie is one of the best recent horror movies yet, and Georgie's death scene was a great way to bring the horror into a new generation. Fantastic! Stephen King has to be one of the best novelists of all time.
It's an overrated and dumb line. I loathe Kubrick's insult to The Shining.
Every moment from every Stephen King film is a great one.🙏
You’ve never seen ‘Maximum Overdrive’ have you?
I am so glad to see the Salems lot entry as it the movie that truly got me into king. I notice that the window scenes are always talked about but I almost never hear people talk about the "look at me" scene which is in my mind one the creepiest movie scenes ever.

Agreed I was really glad when they added that scene to the remake
I love the scene where Carrie is getting revenge on her bullies 😊
Always satisfying
Literally every human being loved it
No way. Carrie is Stephen King’s first novel and first movie adaptation? Like awesome. Love it!
I always enjoyed the satisfying revenge moment that Carrie White killed everyone during the prom night to remember and I really don't see her as a villain of her own story.
If anything Chris hargenson was the villain cuz she was such a sore loser that she went and ruined an innocent girls magical prom night
The ending dance scene from 11/22/63. It captures the scene perfectly from the novel.
Without a doubt, King's best ending.
It will bring you to tears
One underrated King movie that I never hear anyone speak of is Silver Bullet.
I love that movie, watch it all the time.
Cat's eye, creepshow and dreamcatcher are also very underrated
I will always love Silver Bullet ♥️
Nightflier !
My favorite is actually the scene from Carry shown in the thumbnail. Seeing Carry actually get revenge on the school that bullied her... It was awesome.

The funny part is that's not how the story ends. The film's is much better, heart-breaking.
I like STAND BY ME and THE GREEN MILE and well… THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is a freakin’ classic!
Jacob Tremblay's performance in Doctor Sleep is phenomenal
Baseball Boy is def #1. Jacob Tremblay gives the greatest cameo performance of all time, let alone child actor performance.
Christine probably wasn’t the best acted and it only loosely followed the book, but I really loved it. This movie and Carrie showed that bullying will not be tolerated.
I think Carrie's mom is a lot worse than Christine. She constantly abuses her, teaches her it's a shame be be a woman, never care about if she's bullied
The only thing she teaches Carrie right is how to weave and she learns it well
Though Christine is willing to be evil while Margaret may not intend to hurt her children
Christine is just the last straw
It’s still a good movie despite that.
@Barry Dingle That's because too many religious people think they can do what they want, regardless of how vile and evil it is, because all they have to do is ask for forgiveness and everything will be fine. They don't realize that being granted forgiveness is based on you genuinely being regretful and sorry for your actions. Continuing to do the bad things and thinking going to church is all you need to do to make up for it isn't genuinely wanting forgiveness.

I really like that King is not gonna offer us that "and they lived on happily" endings all the time. Nope, he's gonna give us damn creepy, horrifying endings if he feels like it, and that's awesome.
What I find funny is how in Cujo, the boy dies in the book but lives in the movie, whereas in The Mist, the boy lives in the book but dies in the movie. 😂
I mean always being nihilistic is also pretty cliche and one dimensional

I always felt that Dr. sleep should’ve been a two-part book/movie. The true knot is such an interesting group and I really feel that they were taken out so quickly and unceremoniously. It would’ve been so cool to explore their backstory individually.

If you're going for the creepiest conversation in movie history its Jack Torrence vs Delbert Grady in the bathroom. Just a simple conversation, but the tension is thru the roof, and its insane how creepy the moment is.
Nothing about that bastardization of The Shining is creepy.
140: I see Carrie, I clicked. I love Carrie. On my 15th birthday, I saw the musical and 2013 remake in a San Francisco theater
Stephen King making a cameo is a great scene
When Carrie’s hand came up from the grave, I like to say my dad is the first in horror history to have a huge jump scare, he jumped out of his chair
I saw an interview where SK saw the movie in the theater when it was new. He was either in front of or just behind a couple of big guys and when that hand comes out at the end, they jumped and one of them said, "She ain't NEVER gonna be right!" That's when SK knew it would be a success.
What about, in the final scenes of The Stand, when "the Hand of God came down and destroyed the righteous and unrighteous alike". That was a great scene in Las Vegas when Randall Flagg was brought down to his knees. This book and movie will always be my favorites.

I am a grown woman, and that is literally the only horror movie that truly scares me, because it could really happen.
Carrie is absolutely a favorite of mine! Such a wonderful movie! And the part on Salems lot with him tapping on the window….. oh my gosh I have only seen it once when I was around 10 but I have not forgotten that scene.
Delores Claiborne was filmed in my area. One of my friends had his car as an "extra" but I think the scene was cut. I remember when it was being filmed and how excited everyone was about it.
Still cool though.
@@seasonsstarsstudios Yes, it was rather cool. :)
frank darabont +stephen king = gold
For me STAND BY ME and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION will be top adaptations of Stephan kings novel.
These two movies are very close to my heart.
The woman in the bathtub scene from The Shining always creeped me out...much more than the twins.
Stephen King is my favourite author!!!
I love anything that comes from the mind of Stephen King.😁
The little boy Jacob Tremblay’s performance was amazing.
As a mom to a little boy this was absolutely gut wrenching to watch. I cried soooooo hard watching and listening to him.
Love watching charlie burn down the everything after her father died😍
🎃🎃Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Pet Sematary's baby was absolutely creepy and scary. 🥶😱 Happy Halloween, everyone..!! 🎃🎃
I’ve never seen The Green Mile but I love Michael Clarke Duncan. He lent his voice in Disney’s Brother Bear and Delgo
It was horrifying watch the baseball boy get murdered 😱
I love Carrie ugh top 10 favorite female characters
"Face the monster!" "Run!"... Best scene from Salem's Lot IMO.
Sorry. It was Face the Master.
Not sure where I saw it, but I heard somewhere that King went on record to say that he loved the ending of The Mist, and wished that he'd thought of it himself.
I still flinch every time at the hobbling scene from Misery
It's funny to think that Shawshank Redemption is the least disturbing Stephen King movie even tho it takes place within a prison
Top 20 greatest moments from Wes Craven movies
I love the "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"-scene from from The Shining.
You're channel is the best
It's so hard to pick just 20... there are a LOT more than that- Mr. King is just THE MASTER!!! Although, if I was his daughter, I wouldn't exactly enjoy a bedtime story from Dad. :)
THANK YOU for acknowledging CHRISTINE. 💯
I like Moochi death scene, but my ABSOLUTE favourite is Christine riding, while burning, after biggest annoyance of the movie, when he chose to 'hurt' Arnie 'girlfriend'. 😏
I love, "Stephen King's Salem's Lot", my favorite book, my favorite movie and that should've been number one
One of the best scenes in Delores Claiborne was not included in the film. In the book, after her husband falls into the well, she looks down--the eclipse is at its zenith--and she sees (as if through a tunnel) a little naked girl, and instantly knows that the girl's father--like her own husband--had been trying to have sex with her. In the book Gerald's Game, we see that little girl as a grown up, she is tied to a bed, her husband on the floor, dead, and she flashes back to the days leading up to the eclipse she witnessed as a child. In the flashback she can't hide from the truth--that she had been jealous of her mother, and wanted her father's attention, so she would do things to try to turn him on sexually. When he rejects her, she get down on her knees and reached for her underwear. They are under the bed. She looks under the bed, just as the eclipse reaches it zenith, she peers beneath the bed and sees--as if at the other end of a dark tunnel, the face of a woman leaning over a well. Instantly, she, like Delores--the woman she sees--knows everything. She knows Delores has just murdered her husband. That scene was so powerful that it made both books good.
That's only in the movie, because that's not how it plays in the novel "Gerald's Game." She wasn't doing it on purpose and didn't know the effect it had on her father to sit on his lap.
1976 or 2013, I love Carrie. Either Sissy Spacek or Chloe Grace Moretz, they did great
At the end of" The Green Mile", when Paul speaks. If Mr jingles has lived more than 200 times his normal 2 year life expectancy and hes still alive now, how long does Paul have before death finally claims him? The last line stayed with me ... “We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile is so long." As the closing shot rests on this tiny sleeping mouse in his little bed. chilling thought.
My most favorite moment in "Stand By Me" would definitely have to be the pie-eating contest story scene because of how hilarious and gross it is for a scene featured in any Steven King movie. Plus, you couldn't help but root for the story's main character, Davie "Lard-A**" Hogan, when he purposefully makes himself sick during the contest as a way of getting back at everyone who made fun of him for this fat weight. ;)
"Here's johnny" is probably the most recognized phrase ever
Fully honest, I haven’t seen his work that much. I’ve seen Carrie, Stand By Me, It: Chapter Two and Children of the Corn
He is the king. Of horror
Failing to mention that The Shining twins are a horror hidden Easter egg. Surprisingly in The Cabin in The Woods and a small cameo in a episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
RE: The Shining. Those girls are sisters, not twins. At the start the (manager? or something? of the Hotel) tells Jack their ages and they were 7 and 9 or something.
While that scene is good, I found the woman in room 217 to be much scarier.
EDIT: I think they changed it to Room 237 in the movie for some reason (or vice versa)
can you do a top 10 moments in Carrie (1976) video?
Love The Shining
Such a classic
The book? Yes. The movie? No. People need to remove their lips from Kuprick's dead ass. The movie is extremely overrated, boring, and overacted. And it's not even scary.
My favorite author all the time
I didn't see the end of Carrie but I'm sure she had a wonderful time. -Linda Belcher
Once again, it was not Brad Savage as Danny floating outside the window to Lance Kerwin as Mark that was so terrifying, it was Ronnie Scribner as Ralphie scratching at the window for Danny to let him inside earlier that was so terrifying.
Andy's escape is number 1 for me
In the book missery she cuts off his foot much scarier don't you think . Ending of Carrie in remake one that's closer to book. Why I like book versions more usually. Other wise great list.
I agree the books are usually better, but I still have a soft spot for King’s movies. I don’t know why.
5:58 - I don't think I'm out of my league and saying that some of the CGI for this scene was definitely over microwaved for no reason. But, acknowledging that, I like the idea of taking King's original concept for Mrs. Kersh - which is frightening enough on its own - and then adding a distinctly Hollywood monster element to it was a nice touch.
'Salems Lot is even more impressive for the fact that it was a made-for-TV movie with not a particularly large budget
I still think Annie using the axe and blowtorch in the book is better, but when I saw Misery the first time and it got to the hobbling scene I almost screamed! So brutal
Kathy Bates in Misery takes the fav of the two movies she was in. ❤
Yes I'm a number one fan of our or these picks from memories or moments of Stephen King Movies on Netflix or on Hulu or on the DVDs or on TV or on Apple TV like Burning Down The Facility Firestarter and Waving At Yourself 1408 and The Death Of Baseball Boy Doctor Sleep and The Trap Dolores Claiborne and The Kids Turn On Isaac Children of the Corn and Mrs. Kersh It Chapter Two and Jessie Meets The Real Moonlight Man Gerald's Game and Donna Is Bitten Cujo and Moochie's Death Christine and Achilles Tendon Pet Sematary and Almost Saved The Mist and Danny Visits Mark Salem's Lot and Train Stand by Me and Come Play With Us, Danny The Shining and John Coffey's Execution The Green Mile and Georgie's Murder It and The Hobbling Misery and Andy's Escape The Shawshank Redemption and Carrie's Revenge Carrie and Here's Johnny The Shining and
Fun Fact: the kid in The Shining didn’t know he was in a horror movie
I also enjoyed the two Carrie remakes where she walked through the town, causing destruction. The same goes for Firestarter 2, where Charlie destroys the whole town after finding the agency she escaped breeding kids with powers!
My favourite is the scene in the Dead Zone where Jonny has a premonition of Stillson launching the nukes
Even though he hates it, The Shining is regarded as the Best Horror Movie of All Time. WatchMojo’s Top 100 Movies of All Time, anyone?
Also, I didn’t know it was parodied in Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Freaked me out as a kid but I didn’t know until now
I would put number 2 at number 1. The Shining is awesome, but for me Carrie is even better.
Stephen King is a sick f**k, but he's an entertaining and skillful storyteller, which is why his stories and characters translate so well to the big screen. You're essentially reading a movie when you read King anyway. Film was the logical extension, and I'm beginning to enjoy the cinematic adaptations much more than the novels. Btw, nothing from "The Stand"?
Darth Vader: “This Carrie is strong in the Dark Side. She could join or be destroyed.”
Fact about me: I can handle any gory scene and just think it’s cool. There is only ONE scene that will make me wince to this day! And it’s #4 with that dang hobbling and her demeanor. She did her thing! But if you read the book, she didn’t do that. No spoilers. Just read and you’ll catch it
For "Carrie", it's specifically the death scene of her mother played exquisitely by Piper Laurie. Piper Laurie and Janet Leigh arguably hold the record for the best kill scenes on film. Interestingly, they were both nominated for the Best Support Actress Oscar for their stellar work.
These moments are so great, I'm going to write a song about it! 🎹
At the end of Carrie, where her hand appears from the grave, I screamed , jumped in my seat and accidentally hit the stranger in the seat next to me in the face!
Excellent list but I would change the order. Carrie’s revenge should be #1,Shawshank should be #2 and The Shining should be #3 Even though it’s the most iconic. Delores Claiborne is criminally underrated. The Scene in the green Mile in which John coffee cures the wardens wife of her brain tumor should have replaced the rather lame Cujo or Christine and even though the shining is one of my top twenty movie of all time, it doesn’t portray the nature of the book at all in that Jack was crazy along and Shelly duval as Wendy was horrible casting and the power of the shining of the overlook hotel wasn’t properly conveyed
