Now on to ROUND 2
With this 'WEAKEST LINK' I decided to go with the spirit of "Halloween" and decide on the BEST STEPHEN KING MOVIE. I understand that many great films have been adapted from King's works. I purposely left off three of my favorite King adaptions, Stand by Me (1986), The Shawshank Redemption (1994), and The Green Mile (1999). I just didn't feel that these fell into the theme I was looking for. So, pick the film that you think is the WEAKEST LINK from the ones provided.   Again, thanks to everyone who plays.

Now to the 2nd Round to determine the BEST of these Stephen King films.

You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) movie with the most votes. We will then move on to ROUND 3.

Carrie (1976)
The Shining (1980)
Creepshow (1982)
Cujo (1983)
The Dead Zone (1983)
Christine (1983)
Children of the Corn (1984) - Eliminated Round 1
Maximum Overdrive (1986) - Eliminated Round 1
Pet Sematary (1989)
Misery (1990)

    Creepshow (1982)
    Creepshow, only because I can’t remember it as I do the others.

    The dude from Christine (Keith Gordon) has become a pretty good director. I give him a pass on my no-two-first-names-as-your-whole-name rule (I’m looking at you, David Keith).

    One more round 'til things tighten up!
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Misery (1990)
    Misery is a very good movie, but to me it doesnt fit with this horror theme surrounding halloween. all the others deal in someway with the supernatural. misery imo does not

    I love that there is a David Keith and a Keith David, as actors.  
    Much prefer KD in that head-to-head!

    The love he receives is the love that is saved
