Stephen King Explains Why He Passed on Writing Poltergeist

Stephen King offers the reasoning behind him turning down the chance to work on the script for Poltergeist with Steven Spielberg. When it comes to iconic figures within pop culture, few have made imprints as large as King and Spielberg. King is of course the “master of horror,” and both one of the most prolific and best-selling authors of all time. His works have also been adapted dozens of times for both film and TV.
