Why would Stephen King appear in every single movie that's based on his books?

He hasn't been in every one of his movies; far from it. He's only appeared in a handful of the many, many films based on his books.

As for why, it's probably for the same reasons Alfred Hitchcock, M. Night Shyamalan, Quentin Tarantino, and other directors have appeared in their own movies: vanity, as an inside joke for the fans, or just for the fun of participating with the actors who are bringing their movie to life.

What does the tree house symbolize in the movie stand by me by Stephen King?

Stephen King did not actually write the film; instead, the film was loosely based on his short story "The Body". This story, incidentally, was inspired by King's real life experience of seeing a friend hit and killed by a train when King was very young.

If the treehouse can be said to symbolize anything, perhaps it would be the idyllic comfort and safety of childhood in a small rural town. King's stories often treat childhood as the most sacred, vital part of the human life cycle, though his young heros frequently grow up in extremely difficult circumstances, and they almost invariably find themselves faced with horrific, murderous enemies; in most of these stories, at least some of these children die.

What is the best stephen king book The problem i am having is that i want one that is fast paced and is scary early on Most of his books are slow in the beggining and dont get scary untill the end?

One of Stephen King's books that is fast-paced and scary from the beginning is "Misery." It follows the story of a writer who is held captive by his obsessed fan, leading to a tense and thrilling read from the start. Another option could be "Pet Sematary," which delves into the horrors of a burial ground with dark powers. Both of these books have intense and gripping narratives that deliver scares early on.

Is Misery by Stephen King scary?

haha heck no its not scary at all its about this women kidnaps this famous writer when he got in a car wreck and she is obsessed with him and wont let him go she breaks his legs and everything i think that's the least scary movie that Stephen kings wrote it don't have no monsters scary faces or nothin like that it don't even show blood but u should watch it its a good movie

Answer

I think Misery is perhaps the scariest Stephen King novel. Last time I read this novel, my hands were shaking with fear during many of the chapters. It's SO suspenseful. The Annie Wilkes character (played by Kathy Bates in the movie) is so terrifying.

The movie is also brilliant, although I think the book is scarier. The book is a lot gorier than the movie, too. In the movie, she only clubs his foot until she breaks all the bones, while in the book, she actually CHOPS HIS FOOT OFF WITH A FREAKING AXE!

I'm sorry, but if you don't think that's scary, then there's something wrong with you.
