Plus shows like Tales from the Crypt weren’t purely comic book adaptations, I believe that one was mostly originals. Honestly I’d love to see other author’s horror short stories get the spotlight too.
Do you think that over time ALL of his work will be adapted to film?

The difference is that the original stories for Creepshow were all King stories, wheras this new tv series has different writers, hence lackluster show.
Stephen King isn’t the only competent horror writer on the planet, you know?
I didn't say that he was. But will these TV writers be as good as one of the best selling authors of all time? Anyone who thinks this random group of TV writers can write a better horror story than King are delusional. That was the whole thing about Creepshow, it was King's stories with George Romero. This show would go nowhere without King's name. They should either do the story with Stephen or not at all, if not then don't call it Creepshow.

At least watch the show before criticizing it?
By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain. It's inspired by his interest in Loch Ness. He tried to go to Loch Ness with his mother and brother when they lived in the UK, but they never made it because of extreme flooding of the road.
The stories from the first two Creepshow films are all by King (there is a third Creepshow film, but so awful I couldn't finish it). Weeds, The Crate and The Raft are also published stories. I assume the others were written specifically for the film, because I've never heard about them being short stories too. But they were all written by King, with the difference that on the first film he did the screenplay himself, where on the second film the screenplay was done by Romero based on King's stories.
So, it would be more in keeping with the movies to have the tv-show be all King stories.
