Every Stephen King adaptation, ranked

From "'Salem's Lot" to "The Shining," we ranked every Stephen King adaptation ever made, just in time to binge "Carrie" this weekend.

Stephen King, a prolific author with a 50-year career, has seen his works adapted over 79 times, with only the adaptations featuring critic scores considered in this ranking. The latest adaptation, a new version of Carrie on Prime Video, stars Summer H. Howell as the telekinetic teen Carrie. Rotten Tomatoes scores have been used to rank the adaptations, from the worst to the best.

At the bottom of the list is the 2009 Children of the Corn adaptation, with a 0% score, followed by the 1990 Graveyard Shift, which received a 9% rating. The ranking continues with the 2022 Firestarter adaptation, scoring 10%, and the 2020 remake of Children of the Corn, with an 11% rating.
