Creepy!
Smash Monkey asks: "what's the creepiest thing you've seen, heard or felt? What has sent shivers running up your spine and skidmarks running up your undercrackers? Tell us, we'll make it all better"

Oh, of course.
The entirety of 1408 by Stephen King. Not the film, the short story. Utterly terrifying.
The film actually mitigated it massively, partly because John Cusack's acting-fu was not strong, but mostly because I was laughing so hard at the choice of casting for the character of Olin the manager, who is explicitly described in the story as short, nervous, white, chubby and sweaty.

Stephen King's tried to have his name removed from most of the films of his books.
For me, the singularly best adaptation has to be the film of The Lawnmower Man.
The original short story is "Rich bored housewife hires slightly weird young man to do the lawn mowing. One day, she comes out to find the lawnmower going around the garden on it's own, and the man following it, naked, eating the clippings."
How they managed to extrapolate that to "Science dude fucks with virtual reality on drugs" is really quite impressive.

Hasn't he shamelessly aped Hitchcock by making cameo appearances in some of them?

He was definitely in 'The Stand'
The worstest ever was 'The Langoliers'. Fucking awful. Oh, and the spaceship film with that woman in it who was married to Ted Danson, can't remember what it was called. They dug up a spaceship. Anyway, the book was OK, the film was bollocks. Tommyknockers, that was it. Tommybollocks more like..

That's nothing compared to what they did
to both Minority Report and We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (i.e. Total Recall.)
