10 Surprisingly Wholesome Moments In Stephen King Movies

Stephen King is recognized as the "King of Horror," which doesn't mean his stories don't have wholesome moments. Stephen King's best novels stand out for their ability to turn people's worst nightmares against them, exploring unsettling themes and offering unforgettable villains. Consequently, the long list of movies based on Stephen King's books is likely to be remembered for their eerie, upsetting quality.
However, beneath the element of terror, King's writing also has a heartwarming, touching streak. Whether crafting scary tales or delving into different genres, the writer has the unique ability to touch on profoundly delicate subjects in an extraordinarily sensitive manner. His stories emphasize the resilience of friendship, family love, sacrifice, redemption, and loyalty. If Stephen King's villains are terrifying, to say the least, his heroes are their perfect foil, often representing humanity at their best and leading to surprisingly wholesome moments.
