I agree with you about "The Stand" - it was pretty true to the book.
The Shining with Jack was not as true to the book as was the second
one with the guy from Wings, but still good. As far as "It" goes, I
have always hated clowns, but even more so after that book- movie was
almost as creepy. Now I want to see a good movie version of "The
Watchers" by Dean Koontz!
