![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It tells the tale of a therapy session in which anxious patient Lester Billings-a truly terrible person who reveals himself to be misogynistic, racist, and homophobic-tells psychiatrist Dr. King’s brief tale first appeared in Cavalier, a Playboy-esque men’s magazine, in 1973, and it’s fine, but it’s not among his best works. The latest-but, sadly, not greatest- Night Shift story adaptation to hit screens is The Boogeyman, premiering in theaters on June 2. Other stories, such as “Jerusalem’s Lot,” “The Mangler,” and “Quitters, Inc.,” have also been adapted in one form or another “Trucks,” a tale of vehicles run amok, even provided the basis for King’s only film-directing credit: 1986’s Maximum Overdrive. Perhaps its most notable tale is “Children of the Corn,” a spooky account of murderous kids that yielded a cheesy-but-fun 1984 film, several sequels, and multiple remakes-including one released this March. Night Shift, Stephen King’s first collection of horror stories, has spawned numerous adaptations since its 1978 publication. ![]()
