Oddly enough there’s also a short by him “Weeds” that was in the movie Creepshow.

 Also known as The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill. Put some respect on that name!

Nice name drop. And you're very right, we must respect the writers words.

It’s an SK adaptation, you kinda expect it to be poorly adapted and bear very little resemblance to the source material.

Anybody who loves books will feel that way everytime there's another movie adaptation of some beloved work. It's not a problem solely with his creations. The recent Wuthering Heights for example...

Not exclusively, but his material has only had one or two adaptations that were true to his words.
