IF YOU’VE LOVED LOCKE AND KEY, TRY THESE 7 OF JOE HILL’S ADAPTATIONS.

Let’s start with his recent release, The Black Phone.

1. THE BLACK PHONE (2022)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The Black Phone, which is based on the same-named short story from 20th Century
Ghosts, is the most recent movie based on Joe Hill’s work. Ethan Hawke plays The
Grabber, a serial killer who scares young boys in a quiet neighborhood in the
1970s. Hawke is scary as The Grabber, but the young actors who give performances
that are way above their years steal the show. Right now, supernatural thrillers
with a lot of nostalgia are all the rage, so it’s not surprising that this movie
has been a hit, leading many people to read the book again or read it for the
first time.

2. LOCKE AND KEY (2020)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Before the Locke & Key series finally started on Netflix, it was first shown in
three different pilots. The show is based on comics written by Joe Hill and
drawn by Gabriel Rodrguez. In the comics, the Locke family goes back to their
family home after their father is killed in a mysterious way. The series will
end with its third season, which is set to come out this August.

3. CREEPSHOW (2019)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Greg Nicotero’s new version of the classic horror anthology series Creepshow has
short films based on stories and screenplays by many great writers. Some of the
stories Joe Hill has written for the series are Silver Water of Lake Champlain,
Twittering from the Circus of the Dead, and Mums. The fact that it is still
loved and that it did well shows that there is still a need for anthology horror
shows that Hill can easily fill.

4. IN THE TALL GRASS (2019)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The novella In The Tall Grass was written by Joe Hill and his father, Stephen
King, and eventually turned into a full-length movie by Netflix in 2019. The
movie is a subtle masterpiece that somehow got buried in the dense grass itself.
It is understandable how it slipped under the radar, given the conflicting
reactions it received from reviewers and viewers. The movie is undoubtedly worth
seeing again due to the outstanding cast performances, notably the horrifying
Patrick Wilson, and the compelling narrative.

5. TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE (2016)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Tales From the Darkside was initially intended as a revival of the well-known
anthology series that George A. Romero developed. It was first aired in the
1980s. When no network was interested, Hill revised his screenplays and had
Gabriel Rodriguez’s art put on them before publishing them as comics. Sadly, a
pilot was produced, but it hasn’t been shown. Hence, the concept was never
implemented on television. However, considering the recent popularity of comic
to film adaptations like Locke & Key, it is unquestionably a concept worth
pursuing from a similar perspective.

6. HORNS (2013)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

The cinematic version of Joe Hill’s book Horns, starring Daniel Radcliffe is
arguably one of the most well-known Joe Hill adaptations. Ignatius is a guy who
is accused of killing his fiancée and uses his newly discovered talents to
discover the truth. He is a far cry from the young wizard Radcliffe is most
known for playing. Despite being a best-seller, the film was not well received
by reviewers when it was first released. However, Horns is a lighthearted,
sinisterly funny, and unique film.

7. ABRAHAM’S BOYS (2009)

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Abraham’s Boys is a short film based on a short story by Joe Hill. Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]co-creator Matt Duffer
wrote the script. It is a part of Hill’s highly regarded book 20th Century
Ghosts, along with The Black Phone and Pop Art. The plot follows Abraham Van
Helsing’s children as they seek information about their father’s background in
what may be considered a sequel to Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. The movie crams
