About This Site
The Stephen King Adaptations Database answers one question: “Which Stephen King adaptation should I watch, where is it streaming, how is it rated, and how does it compare to the book?”
With over 88 film and TV adaptations spanning five decades, Stephen King is the most adapted living author. This site helps you navigate that catalog — whether you’re looking for a classic like The Shawshank Redemption, exploring cult horror like Creepshow, or deciding which version of Carrie to watch tonight.
