How Well Do You Know Stephen King’s Books?

Published

on

I think it’s fair to say that author Stephen King is perhaps one of the biggest influences on horror over the past 40 years. I think I can safely say that no horror director has as many movies in his or her repertoire as there are King-adapted films. Just the sequels to his properties make up nearly 20 films in the horror world, mainly thanks to Children of the Corn (a ninth film is in the works).

With dozens of books, nearly 200 short stories, and a handful of non-fiction books under his name, it’s impossible to be a horror fan without running into his work at some point or another. From Pennywise in It to Jack Torrance in The Shining to Annie Wilkes in Misery, his characters have terrified audiences from all walks of life.

I know that many of you are huge fans of King and his works, so this week’s quiz is dedicated to challenging you and your trivia knowledge! Give it a shot and best of luck to you!

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.

Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…

“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”

The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).

Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.
