"The Raft" would probably be too intense for me.

"Trucks," "Graveyard Shift," and "The Mangler" have all already been adapted. With hideous results.

I want to see "Gray Matter" and "Night Surf" too.

And "The Mist" would be awesome.

"The Raft" has too. It was in the 2nd CREEPSHOW movie.

I think "The Mist" would be better suited as a full feature film rather than an ep.

"Night Surf" has been done too.

You guys should check out stephenkingshortmovies.com

Since Trucks, The Raft, Graveyard Shift, Chattery Teeth, and The Mangler have already been adapted, I imagine the rights to those stories are probably still tied up.

As for The Mist, Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) owns the rights to it and is planning to make it his next feature film.

The Boogeyman has also been adapted, quite some time ago, for The Nightshift Collection. I would love to see a remake of it, however, since it was the first story that I had ever read by King, and still one of my favorites.

Other stories that I would like to see adapted would be:
The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands
Crouch End
The Jaunt
Can't remember the name of this one, but it was in Skelton Crew, and dealt with a man stranded on a deserted island who takes desperate measures to stay alive. Survivor Type, maybe?
This one I can't remember the title of, either, but it is in Nightmares & Dreamscapes and directly follows the Night Flier (I believe on purpose because of the similar subject matter) and is about a guy with gambling debts who kidnaps a little kid to sell.

That's all I can really think of right now.

Later.

Popsy I really enjoyed "Grandfatherly Love", and at first I thought Little Sisters of Eluria would make a good one...but noobody would get that besides Dark Tower fans. Does anybody own movie rights to the Dark Tower series? Would they own Little Sisters as well?

I wanna see Battleground. As a kid, I really liked the idea that this guy was having a full-fledged war with, basically, those gree plastic Army guys that you could get in a big plastic bag for $1.

While watching the intro, I saw a sink with blood on it. All I could think was "The Finger" (is that what it was called?). Well, I yelped. The imagery of that story scared me good.

[–] nightshade_7976 19 years ago

I always liked Survivor Type, I Know What You Need, The Last Rung on the Ladder, Autopsty Room (?), Gramma, Boogyman, and The Reaper. Those were always my faves...I know Boogyman's been done already, but I can't find it anywhere, so it'd be nice for them to redo it.

Survivor type and the Sun Dog are two of my favorites. Always liked The Last Rung on the Ladder also but I like scary stuff more than sad stuff and that story had me crying when I first read it. I know what you need is really cool too. That feeling you can only say what it is in french is a cool story too but I dont know if it would get kind of groundhog day-esque on the screen.
