6 incredible Stephen King movies just landed on Max for Halloween
It appears Max knows better than anyone just how much of a horror commodity Stephen King truly is, since the platform just added a whole bunch of movies based on his work.
Whether you’re a devotee to his books or a fan of the resulting movies, it’s a universal truth that when it comes to scary tales, Stephen King is… well, a king.
Some of thebest horror moviesever made have been adaptations of his bestselling novels (The Shining, Misery, Carrie), and even those less successful films are still worth watching for schlock factor alone.
Thankfully, Max is jumping aboard the King train for Halloween, with thestreaming serviceadding six movies based on his books to the catalog this month:
It’s a strong collection, featuring some underrated gems. Doctor Sleep, the Shining sequel, is getting a new wave of appreciation from fans online, with some even dubbing it “a miracle movie.”
And if you’re looking to prep for the upcomingWelcome to Derryseries, then Max has you covered with all three adaptations of the Losers Club’s story so far. (If you missed out on the 1990 TV movie, then start with that.)
There’s also anew movieon the list – Max’s original Salem’s Lot. Starring Lewis Pullman, it’s the latest iteration of the vampire movie, which was first adapted in 1979.
The platform is also adding an oddity, A Return To Salem’s Lot, which first came out in 1987. However, this doesn’t technically count as part of the King collection, since this sequel was created as a non-canon addition to the ’79 release.
