Introduction -- The queen bee, the prom queen, and the girl next door: teen hierarchical structure in Carrie / Alison M. Kelly -- Apt pupil: the making of a "bogeyboy" / Dennis F. Mahoney -- Maybe it shouldn't be a party: kids, Keds, and death in Stephen King's Stand by me and PetSematary / Jeffrey A. Weinstock -- The lonesome autoerotic death of Arnie Cunningham in John Carpenter's Christine / Philip Simpson -- Tonka terrors: the humor and horror of "trucks" and Maximum overdrive / Michael A. Arnzen -- The long dream of hopeless sorrow: the failure of the Communist myth in Kubrick's The shining / Michael J. Blouin -- The prisoner, the pen, and the number one fan: Misery as a prison film / Mary Findley -- Redemption through the feminine in The Shawshank redemption; or, Why Rita Hayworth's name belongs in the title / Tony Magistrale -- Christian martyr or grateful slave? The magical negro as Uncle Tom in Frank Darabont's The green mile / Brian Kent -- White soul: the "magical negro" in the films of Stephen King / Sarah Nilsen -- Reaganomics, cocaine, and race: David Cronenberg's off-kilter America and The dead zone / Sarah E. Turner -- The feminist King: Dolores Claiborne / Colleen Dolan -- Only theoretical: postmodern ambiguity in Needful things and Storm of the Century / Mary Pharr -- Rose red and Stephen King's hybrid house of horrors / Dennis R. Perry and Carl H. Sederholm -- Gardening for a new generation of horror in Secret window / Benjamin Szumskyj.

Over seventy-five films have been made based either on Stephen King narratives or screen/teleplay scripts that King himself authored-yet this body of work has received very little scholarly attention. The Filmsof Stephen King is the first collection of essays assembled on the cinematic adaptations of Stephen King. The individual chapters, written bycinema, television, and cultural studies scholars, examine the most important films from the King canon, from Carrie to The Shining to The Shawshank Redemption. Contributors focus on the most intriguing aspects of these movies: race, gender, and technology, and draw conclusions on their socio-political relevance.
