The funniest Stephen King adaptation is the one adapted to film by Stephen King: Maximum Overdrive.
he has given interviews that were pretty explicit about the movie the ended up with was Stephen King director making a Stephen King book into a movie, fueled by cocaine.
like I want to say he said something like, he watched the completed movie and decided he needed to "get clean" over it.
Hiring AC/DC to score a 3-hour film is one of those things that should put any self-respecting cokehead on the path to sobriety.
Rewatched it recently, it is genius even though it's deranged.
Also I love this bit of lore:
Ha, nice. My favorite Maximum Overdrive Deep Lore was an outtake from when they shot the sequence where the steamroller runs over the little league team. In the finished cut, the blood bag smears over the roller. In the outtake cut, it just explodes everywhere. King claims that he sent that footage over to Romero, and that Romero vomited after seeing it.
...Maybe it's not that deep of Deep Lore if a presenter was talking about it when they aired it on TNT back in the 90s.
