Annie's . . . Read the Book, Seen the Film - Spooky/Horror

A slightly different type of book list for a change and something for the spooky season.
This is a list of 50 books which I have read and a film or TV version/adaptation that I have watched.
All of these offerings are from the horror, ghost, spooky, macabre, gothic or slightly quirky type genre and one or two with unhappy endings.
There are plenty of other books I have read but not seen a film or TV adaptation and conversely plenty of films/TV programmes I have seen, but not read the book.
Yes, it is heavy on Stephen King works, but he has a large back catalogue and numerous adaptations.
If you don't like my list, why not create your own?
Happy reading and viewing.
