Stephen King

Stephen King is a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/full-list-of-masters-of-horror-episodes/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">master of horror</a> who has authored dozens of novels and stories exploring monsters both human and supernatural. Many of King's ideas are rooted in true stories, either historical in nature, like the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that serves as the foundation for time travel thriller 11/22/63,&nbsp;or embellishments of mundane everyday life. For King, a simple trip to the grocery store in a thunderstorm or a walk over a bridge to pick up his car from the mechanic can be the start of some creepy tale. Even some of the more supernatural tales like Salem's Lot have a true story that inspired them.One of King's greatest works, The Shining, emerged from a dream he had in a snowy hotel in the mountains. A&nbsp;lesser-known piece was inspired by Dennis Rader, one of America's <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/americas-most-famous-serial-killers/tool100?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most notorious serial killers</a>.

'The Shining' Was A Bigger Nightmare Behind The Scenes Than Anything On Screen

'The Shining' Behind-The-Scenes Stories And Details

Jason Bancroft

Fun facts and wild true stories from behind the scenes of some of history's most beloved and infamous movies.

Movies in the Making

In the months leading up to&nbsp;The Sixth Sense&#39;s release in August 1999, there was little buzz around the film and&nbsp;no expectations that it would become a hit. Disney had so little faith in it that, even though one of their executives paid millions for the script, the studio ended up offloading&nbsp;the production rights to an independent film company. M. Night Shyamalan was relatively unknown at the time, and the film starred&nbsp;a&nbsp;child actor&nbsp;alongside Bruce Willis, who was known for making big-budget action movies, not moderately budgeted psychological thrillers. Some publications left The Sixth Sense off their list of releases for fall 1999. Even Shyamalan was hedging his bets about its success - he hoped it would make enough money to give him a chance to direct&nbsp;another film.

But behind the scenes of The Sixth Sense,&nbsp;the cast and crew knew what they were making&nbsp;was something special, with a final plot twist that would shock audiences and critics alike. Their belief in the underdog project was validated when&nbsp;the film grossed a whopping $26.6 million in its opening weekend and&nbsp;spent a total of&nbsp;five weeks&nbsp;as the No. 1 film at the US&nbsp;box office. To date, the movie has grossed <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0167404/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank">close to $700 million</a> worldwide. It also received six Academy Award nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/academy-award-for-best-supporting-actor-winners/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Best Supporting Actor</a> (<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/haley-joel-osment-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Haley Joel Osment</a>), Best Supporting Actress (Toni Collette), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

Stephen King's Top Recommendations For Your Next Movie Marathon

Stephen King Recommends Watching These Movies Next

Leah Collins

Turning a novel or short story into a movie isn&#39;t always an easy task. Besides translating the written word and inner thoughts of characters into visuals, screenwriters and directors sometimes have to contend with the literary fanbase and, in some cases, the authors of the original works.

This is especially true for Stephen King, who wrote his successful horror novel,&nbsp;The Shining, in 1977;&nbsp;Stanley Kubrick adapted the book&nbsp;into a film in 1980. The movie went on to become a horror masterpiece and&nbsp;staple of modern pop culture -&nbsp;even some Pixar movies are <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/pixar-movies-with-the-shining-easter-eggs/amanda-lynn" target="_blank">rife with&nbsp;hidden Shining references</a>. But despite the film&#39;s success and staying power, King has always maintained an outspoken hatred of the film, primarily criticizing Kubrick&#39;s treatment of the characters and overall narrative. While film buffs tend to disagree with King&#39;s stance, others insist that the author makes some valid points,&nbsp;his&nbsp;attachment to the material notwithstanding.

Hellraiser Franchise

Pinhead has dished out his own brand of BDSM judgement throughout 10 films, two books, and a series of comics, each building the story behind Hellraiser. For those of you who need to have your memory jogged, Pinhead, or “The Hell Priest,” is <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-cenobites-moments-clive-barker/sabrina-ithal" target="_blank">a Cenobite</a> who straddles our dimension and his own world of pain and pleasure. Whenever someone is depraved enough to find their way to this demon, he and his crew appear out of the walls to torture their unsuspecting victims for eternity. When audiences saw the first film in Clive Barker’s series, they were immediately enthralled by&nbsp;Pinhead. Not only were his features&nbsp;both disgusting and tantalizing, but he didn’t behave the same way that Jason or Freddy did. Pinhead was a villain as&nbsp;disturbing as he was inventive. This&nbsp;demon had a secret, and&nbsp;fans craved&nbsp;more Pinhead backstory.&nbsp;And know, we finally know what happened to make him such an intense creature.&nbsp;
