You probably know Stephen King as the author of some of the greatest horror books in history, but like most writers, Stephen King faced a tough road to the top. Writing Carrie, The Shining, The Stand, Misery, Carrie, It, and so many more scary novels seems like an impossible feat for just one man, but over the evolution of Stephen King he’s exhibited a vast well of incredibly ideas that show no signs of slowing down. Throughout Stephen King history, he’s been able to create killer creatures like Pennywise, hard-boiled yarns like Mr. Mercedes and 11/22/63, and heartwarming stories of hope like The Shawshank Redemption. He may not be your typical celeb, but with his recent string of box office smashes like It 2017, It Chapter 2, the Pet Sematary remake, Doctor Sleep and more, we’re eagerly awaiting every trailer clip and scene as if he were as famous as the upper echelon of celebrities. From TV to film and movies, the biography of Steven King is a roadmap to the evolution of horror, and when it comes to the history of Stephen King, this master of horror shows no signs of stopping the scares.

This man has books I keep going back to as a default for reading.

[@heyhowareya8820]

Stephen King is the Legend

[@sirgrumpyiv3550]

Agreed

[@toxxxickay3553]

bill hader better play him in a biopic

[@mechajay3358]

King has been through a lot throughout his career. It no wonder his works are regarded as Masterpieces.

[@AesthetixVB]

Imagine being a student of his before his break 😂😂

[@JC-yv8mm]

omg these people are like the best because they work every movie in the bestway they can keep up the good work 😎😎😎

[@joseespinoza7674]

Stephen King is amazing

[@mechajay3358]

He also collaborated with Michael Jackson for the Short Film _Ghost_

[@ThieviusPrime]

[@WINGTV9]

King thinks highly of Joseph Payne Brennan as an author of supernatural horror, and that is cool with me!

theres gonna be a sequel to the shining??

[@mulasdd]

Ray's Room the book sequel is already out, it’s called Doctor Sleep, it came out around 2011 I think, it’s really good I recommend

[@xVx_Krt_xVx_KillMe]

Well now I’m conflicted, the shining is my favourite film, but I guarantee a sequel, like most films, is gonna taint my perfect picture of it. Then again I wanna know how the hell they’ll pull it off

[@albertoskytwins3527]

@@xVx_Krt_xVx_KillMe I recommend you to read the book of The Shining since the movie is a terribly poor adaptation, don't take me wrong, the movie is amazing, but as an adaptation is just ridiculous, for me the book is way better so I guess you'll enjoy it

[@xVx_Krt_xVx_KillMe]

Regardless, even if it’s not an accurate representation of the book it’s still amazing, plus it goes back to my point. My image of the film will be tainted as these two films will probably have opposing tangents to the books leaving me confused.

[@xVx_Krt_xVx_KillMe]

Btw I have read the shining, but jack nicholson for life man, one of the GOATS of acting

[@hubertcumberdale770]

The Kubrick called king with the idea of shining and only said “do you believe in god”? Stephen said “depends on what day it is and how drunk I am”

[@doccreed658]

Where does the footage of King in Stanley Hotel with crocquet mallet come from? Thanks.

Some of his books like The Tommyknockers are mild but when I was reading IT, I was actually shocked about how scared it made me.

[@kornilious]

I think a good one is Misery. I’m in the middle of reading it rn and so far it’s really good. Pretty creepy with the way the antagonist acts.

Stephen King is very odd looking

Why you call him the king of horror?
Ever consider R.L stine?

R.L stine has nothing on stephen king. R.L stine might had created goosebumps, but compare that to the shining or it
