A Stephen King adaptation was almost ruined.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A quality Stephen King horror film adaptation needs to be as terrifying as possible, but one classic King film, Cujo, almost wasn't. Adaptations like Andy Muschiettit's 2017 IT brought King's villain to life through Bill Skarsgård's incredible performance as Pennywise The Dancing Clown.

Nonetheless, none of the actors behind these roles were as evil as the characters they were portraying. They had to really bring their acting chops to the table to portray such terrifying Stephen King villains. Unfortunately, a few actors weren't so good at playing their shared villain role, and it nearly ruined the movie.

The Dogs Used In The Cujo Movie Wouldn't Stop Wagging Their Tails The real-life Saint Bernards used in the adaptation of King's Cujo were far from as terrifying as the film's main character. The canine actors would have been better used in one of the several Beethoven movies, as they wouldn't stop wagging their tails during filming.

Why Stephen King Considers Cujo One Of Best Adaptations Of His Books In a 2014 Interview with Rolling Stone, Stephen King called Cujo a "terrific" film adaptation. This means a lot to any filmmaker who remembers the harsh criticism King had for Kubrick's The Shining. Despite changing Cujo's ending to be more satisfying for audiences, director Lewis Teague stayed mostly true to King's novel, which the author likely appreciated.
