All 3 Movies Based on Richard Bachman Books, Ranked

For a few years, Stephen King was Stephen King, and Richard Bachman was Richard Bachman. The former was known for novels like Carrie, The Stand, The Shining, and Salem’s Lot, while the latter wrote (arguably) even darker novels like Rage and Roadwork (both of them are yet to receive any kind of movie or TV adaptation). Eventually, though, it was revealed that these two authors were one and the same, and King had used the Richard Bachman name as a pseudonym to write stories that were generally more cynical than his other works, and with maybe less of a horror focus. But emphasis on the “maybe,” because quite a few Bachman books are horror-related, and scary in some ways that are comparable to the more frightening Stephen King books. Anyway, the truth about Richard Bachman was exposed in the mid-1980s, and some aspects of the whole ordeal inspired The Dark Half, which was published near the end of that same decade, and yet a couple more Richard Bachman books were still published post-outing, including The Regulators and Blaze.
