"While novel adaptations have been a major part of filmmaking since the inception of the medium in the final decade of the nineteenth century, short story adaptations are still fairly uncommon. While major hits like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Everything Must Go prove that it can be done, more often than not, films based on short stories are either quickly forgotten or fail to be finalized. That said, some of the very best horror movies are adaptations of short stories. From the seminal works of H.P. Lovecraft to the well-known writings of Stephen King, these quick bits of fiction made exemplary conversions to the silver screen."
