If there's anyone who knows good TV and film, it's Stephen King.
King has behind some of the best horror movies that have ever been made, which have been based on his terrifying books.
From IT and Pet Sematary, to Carrie and The Shining, King's mind has concocted some spine-chilling novels over the years.
But not all of King's books that have been adapted into movies have been horrors. In fact, you might not know that The Green Mile is based off King's 1996 book of the same name.

With his vast experience in mind, it's safe to say that if King likes something that's been on TV, then you should watch it too.
One show that he's previously gushed about is a series that's available to stream on Prime Video, where all four seasons currently available to watch.
Titled The Man in the High Castle, the programme, which first debuted in 2015, has been described as 'just wonderful' by King.
Based on the book of the same name by Phillip K. Dick, the show's first season explores an alternative world in which the Allied Powers lost WWII, allowing Japan and Germany to rule the US.
Adding to it's allure, the series stars the likes of Pretty Little Liar's Luke Kleintank and The Diplomat actor Rufus Sewell, as well as being executively produced by Blade Runner and Alien director, Ridley Scott.
Speaking about the show back in 2018, King posted to Twitter: "THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE (Amazon Prime) is just wonderful.

"Some of the images, while disquieting (American children giving the Nazi salute, a Nazi storm trooper replacing the Statue of Liberty), are jaw-dropping. Start from the beginning."
Backing the acclaimed author's rave review, the series has an 84 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and 4/5 stars from viewers on Prime Video.
Replying to King's tweet, another fan of The Man in the High Castle said at the time: "My wife and I just watched all three seasons. Really well done and we were glued to each and every episode.
"Kind of eerie how familiar a lot of the scenarios felt."
"It’s amazing. Binged Season 3 in a long weekend. Battle of oppression," added another at the time.
A different person penned: "Great for binge-watching. Fascinating, provocative and engaging with some surprising character arcs."
"The opening title sequence is enough to make me cry," said someone else.
