More specifically, those from the 1950s and 1960s, like those from Hammer.
In that case you might enjoy Lair Of The White Worm - although its more of an 80s flick I think.

Mr. King apparently wanted to focus more upon the horrors of alcoholism. I think the movie is perfect in every way. Many folk have shaded Shelly Duvall's role, but I think she is also perfect in her role, because she is so very vulnerable. Nicholson, is, of course, excellent as always, and the supporting cast such as Scatman Corothers are great. This is one of my favorite horror movies.
Im.a.big Stephen King fan but I've always enjoyed his books more than the movie adaptations. If you like the Shining you should check out the 1997 TV miniseries adaptation. It stars Steven Weber from Wings fame. He does an amazing job and the script is much closer to the book version.
My all time favorite Stephen King book is Salem's Lot. There's a passage in there where King describes a corpse sliding off an autopsy table and crawling across the floor that always stuck in my mind for how creepy it was. Its a really great read.
As far as.my own favorites go, if you're looking for a good twist on a werewolf story I highly recommend Ginger Snaps. Also Karl12 already mentioned it but it's worth repeating, Let The Right One In is an amazing Vampire movie.
