From page to screen, his stories have proven to be a goldmine for filmmakers, with adaptations becoming cult classics. One such adaptation is a new film based on a short story from the legendary author. The movie has garnered both critical acclaim and box office success – and is now continuing that success on streaming, specifically on Hulu.
Upon its theatrical release, The Boogeyman struck a chord with horror fans.

The Boogeyman takes inspiration from Stephen King’s 1973 short story. Set in a world where a creature emerges from closets to prey on children, this film introduces us to the Harper family. The protagonist, Sadie, portrayed by Sophie Thatcher, is a teenager grappling with the trauma of her mother’s death. Alongside her grieving father, played by Chris Messina, and younger sister, Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair), Sadie finds herself caught in a nightmarish battle against the mysterious creature lurking in the shadows.
From page to screen, these Stephen King adaptations have brought his terrifying tales to life in truly bone-chilling fashion. As horror fans eagerly await more spine-tingling releases, it’s clear that Stephen King’s legacy in the world of horror will continue to haunt us for years to come.
The Boogeyman is currently streaming on Hulu.
