Top 5 Best Movies Adapted from Stephen King Books

Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. If you enjoy creepy or scary things, he may be one of your favorites as well! He is a spooky genius! Not only do his books give me the chills, but the movies adapted from his books are sometimes even spookier. Here are my favorites! Comment below and tell me what your favorites are!

1. Misery
Misery will always be a favorite no matter what. Kathy Bates has always, in my opinion, had this strong and kind of scary attitude in the characters she plays. When you put her in a scary movie, she almost always portrays it perfectly. Even though the book was beautifully written, the movie is what gives me the chills. Stephen King always does a great job of keeping the story interesting, even though the setting stays in almost one place the entire book. It’s almost panicking thinking about being trapped in a house with Kathy Bates who is obsessed with you.

2. the Shining
This is an obvious choice, but it’s SO good! I can’t imagine anyone else being Jack besides Jack Nicholson. The Shining is one of the biggest Stephen King movies ever. Almost everyone knows about it, even if they haven’t seen it. If you’re a true CREEPSTER then you have to know this movie. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

3. Children of the Corn
This movie is definitely not as good as the book, but it’s still pretty creepy. This is a film that will make you look at your kids or siblings differently. Just don’t leave any knives or poison lying around *wink, wink* The movie, overall, kind of gets boring in the middle parts, but Malachai is creepy AF. Not to mention, Isaac just looks creepy so it kind of has a good scary vibe to it. Let’s just hope you aren’t surrounded by cornfields (unfortunately, I am).

4. Carrie
This is another one of my own personal favorites. I love Carrie! I especially love the fact that Stephen King based this off of two students while teaching in Maine. This may sound super cheesy, but I think it gives a good message not to screw with those that don’t fit in. You never know what they are capable of doing.

5. Pet Sematary
Even though the special effects and quality of the film are a little old, it’s still a great film. The movie really makes you stop and think. This movie will always be a good movie, because of how the book was portrayed. Also, please watch your kids and don’t let them wander out onto a highway and get smashed by a semi-truck.

These are, in my opinion, the best movies adapted from Stephen King books. There ares so many of them that I’m sure some of you disagree, so let me know in the comments what you’re favorite Stephen King movie is!

How to Have a Fun Halloween at Home!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Even though it is Monday, guess what? Halloween is only FIVE days away! I know right?! I have so much stuff to do, that I don’t know what to do first!

Halloween is my favorite day of the year, obviously. The thing is, though, I don’t like to go out on Halloween and party. In fact, I’d rather stay at home, hand out candy to kids, drink hot cocoa and indulge in horror movies. Is that weird? I don’t enjoy spending my whole night dealing with drunk people and convincing myself I’m having a good time. I love throwing Halloween parties, but this year it wasn’t really an option. My apartment is too small and I can’t take up more than one parking spot. I can’t turn up the music too loud… It didn’t work out. BUT, I’m still planning on doing some other things to have fun!

Have you entered for the first CREEPSTER giveaway yet?! Only FIVE days left! Check out our Instagram for more details https://instagram.com/creepsterblog/

Make Yourself Some Spooky Treats!
Go on pinterest and find some cool recipes to make on Halloween! There are literally so many options. You can have a full course Halloween dinner. My favorite treats to make are cupcakes. You can range from cute spooky to full on gruesome cupcakes. Don’t believe me?

Netflix & Spotify are Neccessary
Kick back and turn on some scary movies… The only downfall to watching scary movies on Netflix is that there are only select few classic movies on there. There are movies like Children of the Corn, Hellraiser, Babadook, etc. BUT, where is the original Halloween? Friday the 13th? Child’s Play? Not there. If you’re looking for those, then don’t go to Netflix. BUT, they do offer some creepy independent films. Check out the movie CREEP (really weird). Netlfix offers a good handful of scary movies, just missing some classics.
Another way to make Halloween more fun is to create yourself a Halloween mix on Spotify! I highly recommend Spotify and if you can come up with $10 a month for the Premium account, get it! It’s probably the only online subscription that I don’t regret. Here are just a few songs from my playlist:
Monster Mash- Bobby Pickett
If You Were Here- Thompson Twins
Black Out Days- Phantogram
Open- Com Truise
Two Of Hearts- Stacey Q
Feed My Frankenstein- Alice Cooper
Dragula- Rob Zombie
You Spin Me Round ( Like a Record)- Dead or Alive
Soap- Melanie Martinez
Living Dead Girl- Rob Zombie

And you all know the classic Halloween songs 😉

Enjoy it, Cause It’s Only Once a Year
That’s right. Sadly, Halloween is only once a year, but that is what makes it so special. Instead of worrying about what you’re going to wear to that party. Grab a glass of wine, sit down and watch movies on Netflix. Put on some tunes and do some crafts at your table. You can even invite a couple of friends over to help hand out candy and devour your handmade Halloween treats! It’s the only night of the year where you can really be who you are so just enjoy it!
