Although the exact nature of the eponymous threat is never explained, the Buick is some form of inter-dimensional monstrosity that breaks the minds of its victims as much as their bodies-not unlike most of Lovecraft’s most famous monsters. However, unlike the earlier Christine (adapted into a classic ‘80s horror by John Carpenter), King’s second killer car story is a lot more existential than the story of a possessed automobile. Released in 2002, From A Buick 8 is the second of King’s novels to center around a killer car. Related: Why Fear Street 1978’s Stephen King Shout Out Is Ironicĭirector Jim Mickle is helming a Thomas Jane-starring From A Buick 8 adaptation, which should be good news for both King fans and anyone hoping to see Lovecraft brought to life onscreen. King’s writing is proving to be as difficult to adapt as ever, which makes it all the more interesting that one of the author’s most Lovecraftian tales is now on its way to the big screen. For every solid effort like Lisey’s Story, which proved King should script more of his adaptations, there is an expensive folly like 2020’s The Stand. However, not every King adaptation has been a success.
