The Shining, 'Salem's Lot, Carrie

Having watched this after seeing the 2004 film adaptation, I must say that the old saying that the book is always better most definitely applies here...it has the typical aura of horror about it that permeates most of Stephen King's works in New England towns.

<spoiler>I wasn’t impressed by a buncha white dudes trying to stake a vampire. I couldn’t tell any of the characters apart. </spoiler>
