It’s one of the stories in which King shows his debt to Lovecraft (specifically “Colour Out of Space”) as a backwoods New Hampshire farmer discovers a meteor on his property. Luckily it is easily findable on the internet. The story still hasn’t found its way into any published collection of King’s and is unlikely to do so at this point.

It’s hard to know exactly what public reception there was to the story, if any. “Weeds” was originally published in Cavalier magazine in May 1976. They stories were “Weeds” and “The Crate.” However, two segments did predate the film and thus make Creepshow eligible for this book-to-screen series. Three of these stories were written by King originally for this film but were never published in print except in comic book adaptations of the movie. In the meanwhile we continue to a film that adapts two King short stories that were never published in a larger novel collection: the cult classic Creepshow! The StoriesĬreepshow is an anthology film comprised of five short segments that are framed by a sixth. It even has a sequel! It has all the makings of an epic dark fantasy film, and a feature-length adaptation has been planned for decades, with one project recently reaching development. It’s one of his lesser-known works, and has never gotten a screen adaptation, but its fans are quite fond of it. We are skipping one part of King’s bibliography, The Talisman, a horror-fantasy that King cowrote with Peter Straub. We’re back at the Stephen King Book to Screen Series! Last time, we covered Silver Bullet‘s trip to the silver screen.
