The newest installment to his long list of adaptations is ‘Firestarter’ Stephen King is back and better than ever (though, did he ever really leave?). This same time period brought us ‘Pet Sematary’ (2019) and ‘ Doctor Sleep ’ (2019), as well as a handful of other films that were released to streaming. The 2017 film adaptation of ‘It’ has a cult following online, which worked to further propel ‘ It Chapter 2 ’ to great success in 2019. His body of work is deep and vast and has spanned half a decade, but when looking at his filmography, the last five years stand out. Iconic films like ‘ The Shining ’ ‘ Shawshank Redemption ’ and ‘ Stand by Me ’ came directly from King’s page to our screens. His first novel to be published, ‘ Carrie ’ has been seen on screen and stage for over 40 years. The horror novelist began releasing books in the 1970s and still has new novels on the way, but many may be more familiar with the movie adaptations of these novels. It seems that we’re knee-deep in a Stephen King Renaissance.
