Fans recognize that King often shares his mini-reviews of movies and shows he watches on social media. Some might assume, given his creation of numerous horror classics, that he wouldn’t easily scare. However, as the “Master of Horror” attests, this assumption is off the mark. In fact, a 1980 supernatural horror film called The Changeling, directed by Peter Medak, left him utterly terrified due to its chilling ambiance. Previously, Stephen King declared that as an adult, his scariest film was George A. Romero’s low-budget masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead. Additionally, he noted that when he was 16 years old, Robert Wise’s 1963 movie The Haunting sent shivers down his spine. For those who enjoy a blend of zombie horror and supernatural chills, particularly missing the human survival focus of The Walking Dead, King suggests that you might find your next watch a thrilling weekend or after-work binge.
