[edit] Adaptations

"The Night Flier" was adapted to film. "Chattery Teeth"' was adapted into a segment of the film Quicksilver Highway. "Sorry, Right Number" was adapted into an episode of Tales from the Darkside. "The Moving Finger" was adapted into an episode of the TV show Monsters. "Home Delivery" and "Rainy Season" were adapted to short films.

The short story "The House On Maple Street" was inspired by the book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, a picture book by children's author Chris Van Allsburg which invites readers to create stories based on provocative illustrations.

[edit] Television Series

During the summer of 2006, TNT produced an eight-episode miniseries on various short stories by Stephen King. Although one may assume from the title that all of the episodes in the miniseries are from the collection of the same name, this is true for only five of the eight ("Battleground" was featured in Night Shift and "The Road Virus Heads North" and "Autopsy Room Four" appear in Everything's Eventual).
