M. Night Shymalan perhaps - I know he reads King. He has quite a distinctive style of his own, wonder if that would merge with King's style.
Also Dario Argento. I believe King offered him one of his books in the seventies - I think it was Salem's Lot. Actually Phenomena was Argento's stab at all those films from the seventies and early eighties about people with supernatural powers - I guess Carrie started that trend. Of course Argento being Argento his supernatural power - to communicate with insects - is quite out-there (although it is already mentioned in Deep Red at the first scene at the Congress on Parapsychology that insects communicate through telepathy, so this clearly always was an interest of him.)
In fact, just like Carrie, in Phenomena Jennifer Corvino (which is very close to her own name, Connelly, because Argento really wanted her specifically for this role), is being bullied by the other girls at the boarding school, but rather BECAUSE of her powers.
And David Lynch, yeah. Sure he has that small-towns-with-dark-secrets thing in common with King.
