I've never found much of his writing scary - although I've greatly enjoyed some of his books.

This did unsettle me when I was younger though

Salem's Lot is still a classic.

The Mist is awesome - even the film is good (although the end is different)
The Raft was good - I like that he never explains what that thing is.
I also like the one about the evil grandma and the one about the clapping monkey toy, but I forget their names.

I also liked The Running Man (the film adaption though ) and anything castle rock based - the dark half, needful things etc.
Never liked Cujo though - I like the idea, it just takes so long to get giong...

The only thing Steven King related that I've seen/read is the episode from some TV series where a hitman gets a box of soldiers who come to life and attack him.

Wasn't so much horror as pure awesome

That was part of a series - 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes' iirc.
The first episode was awesome - the rest meh. Of course I sat through most of them hoping for something as good as the first episode...
