Stephen King was part of my formative years. He was a household name in the 80s and, for better or for worse, Hollywood quickly snapped him up. I loved Christine in particular - both the book and the movie. Both came out while I was in high school and the story struck a real chord with me then - teen angst and all. The Shining, Pet Semetery, Carrie, Misery were all excellent but I lost interest in him thereafter.
