Stephen King’s birthday! The master of horror literature and classics like “It”, “The Shining”, “Carrie” and more, turns 75. With this celebration also comes a long history of books that have inspired several films based on his work. But far from talking about his own legacy, the American writer has a long list of what he considers the best horror movies in history.
It is about no less than 22 tapes released from the 60s to the present that Open Culture compiled and some are available on streaming platforms.
In this list you will find a bit of everything: from classics like “The Blair Witch Project” even some forgotten jewels like “Village of the Damned” and more current films like “The witch”.
