This man is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and yet good or bad most of his movie adaptations are B-movie quality. Now I am no studio exec but there is a lot of money to be made on these stories if theyre actually done right. Its a shame to see great stories told through poor quality. Darabont aside, not many directors like to take it on to the tee and it really bugs me.

It's because his novels are only scary when you read them.

The adaptations that he was involved in writing are generally B-grade quality ones.
The guy is a great author but he just cannot write a great screenplay. They're all mediocre at best.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

I think you are right but there is so MUCH in his books. The Stand was very close and that was 4 VHS tapes (Very long time ago)
