Favorite Unfilmed Stephen King Story?
I'm wrapping up my work with Mr. Carpenter and am on the hunt for material. I know that King is usually very cool about optioning his story rights for adaptation and I'm wondering...
Are there any of his stories that you love which have never made it to the screen? Yeah, I'm fishing here - but I'd love any comments.

Gerald's Game. My favorite Stephen King story, hard to imagine someone being able to adapt it for the screen though.
Alfred Hitchcock could have done it. :p

Definitely The Long Walk. It has great characterization, pathos, horror elements, and a good ending if it isn't turned "happy for hollywood".

The Boogeyman from Night Shift, The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet from Skeleton Crew, I am the Doorway from Night Shift, The Mist from Skeleton Crew (that would be amazing since it itself is an homage to 50s monster films). There's all sorts of things, but I think the Mist would be head and shoulders above the others

The Mist is currently filming with Frank Darabont at the helm.
I was thinking about I Am the Doorway. Could be kind of cool.

Hmm, that will be cool. I am the Doorway might work. By the way, do you know if Arthur Machen is public domain?

Thanks. I think Machen's work could be done really eerily on screen.
