Stephen King's Latest Terrifying Film Is About a Woman Haunting the Man Who Murdered Her

Netflix's '1922' looks genuinely terrifying.

Now's a great time to be a movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel: It just surpassed The Exorcist to become the highest-grossing horror film in American history. Netflix is striking while the iron's still smoking, releasing its adaptation of Gerald's Game, out September 29, and 1922, streaming October 20, in quick succession.

The trailer looks absolutely terrifying, and definitely isn't for anyone who has a problem with rats.
