Love horror movies. Children of the Corn is awesome. Couldn't remember Running Man.

Great topic and great movies, but you should really consider using multiple choice questions more.

Doesn't everybody else hate the fill-in-the-blank questions as much as I do?

#10 - Misery... loved the movie, but couldn't think of the title.
#2 - misspelled Cujo (Kujo)

I like that this quiz was about many different Stephen King horror flicks rather than one quiz all about just one movie. You also had excellent explanations with each answer.

Superb quiz. King is one of my favorite authors. I'm really hoping for a movie version of "Cell" and I'd love to see a remake of "'salem's Lot."

missed 2 because i went blank.love stephen king great quiz

Posted by precious1026, 342 days ago

I also misspelled The Shinning oops The Shining and Children of the Corn I misread. I should have gotten 10/10 but 8/10 is terrible when I claim The King as a Favorite. Yeah, I thought it was a great Quiz, even though I clicked on Science and not Literature.

haha I got a D+

Posted by theshortzeta, 275 days ago

Why couldn't there be an option for "The Children of the Corn"? I think that should have been acceptable. As a result 9/10.

Posted by rexlamos, 209 days ago

Hahaha i HATE horror movies, but i LOVE stephen king!!! mwahaha

Posted by Kygal36200, 151 days ago

BIG King fan...loved this quiz! Wish they would make movie(s) of the Dark Tower series of books. Would love to sit down and talk to SK, always wondered how all that stuff comes out of one man's brain.

Posted by katie4, 84 days ago

I know what you mean Kygal! Ever since I read the Dark Tower I wondered if they were ever going to make a movie/movies of it. It would be intresting to see what the final product would be
