One Of Stephen King’s Scariest Stories Is Also One Of His Simplest

The name Stephen King is synonymous with the horror genre, and for good reason; the man is a genius when it comes to all things scary. He has many a terrifying novel under his belt, with several having been turned into films that became instant classics such as Carrie and IT. The film adaptations of his novels have garnered sequels and reboots over the years, and he’s still one of the best-selling horror authors out there — proving he remains just as relevant today as he always has been. But while we may all know and love King’s work, it’s understandable that some things tend to slip a little more under the radar, and one of his most terrifying yet overlooked in comparison to other works is Cujo.Released in 1983, Cujo told the story of a St. Bernard named Cujo who contracts rabies and goes on a murderous rampage. Caught in the crossfire is a mother and her young son, trapped inside their car on a hot summer day as Cujo lingers nearby. The film was by no means a flop but in comparison to some of King’s other adaptations, it’s not quite as praised or talked about, yet it really is one of his most terrifying and heart-pounding stories.
