A happy 68th birthday to the master of modern horror Stephen King today! He's churned out more best-sellers than you could fit in the trunk of a thousand demon-possessed Plymouth Furys ever since Carrie dropped way back in 1973, putting more nightmares into the collective human subconscious than probably anybody ever, honestly. Can you imagine the last four decades without his beautiful monsters & mad-women? A ghastly thought, that.
So here in celebration of his gifts, a list!
Off the top of my head here are
5 of the hottest guys in Stephen King movies.
Thomas Jane in The Mist
Jeff Fahey in The Lawnmower Man
John Travolta in Carrie
Hot dudes aren't really what one goes to Stephen King movies for, but they're there if you know where to look. (If I'd added TV adaptations to my choices this list probably would've ended up being 100% "Pictures of Mike Vogel in Under the Dome.")
So who would make your list?

Jason Beghe is hot, but I don't think Monkey Shines is a Stephen King movie. Are you thinking of The Monkey from Skeleton Crew? Anyways, as a replacement, I vote for William Katt from Carrie. Sure, the hair was a bit much, but his character was such a sweetheart.
Gah, right you are, Ross. This list was actually different (no Beghe) when I first posted it but suddenly Beghe popped into my head and yes, I was confusing my monkeys, and I feverishly changed the list to include him. I'll go back to who I originally had in his place then! (I'll edit it in a minute and you'll see.)
I was always partial to Brian Krause in "Sleepwalkers". Maybe that's why I've always liked the film more than its reputation.
Bryan Singer has a list of 5 extras he'd name ahead of these guys.
I liked Damian Lewis and Timothy Olyphant in Dreamcatcher.
William Katt as Tommy in Carrie
Matt Keeslar as Steve Rimbauer in Rose Red
Gil Bellows as Tommy in The Shawshank Redemption
Thomas Jane & Timothy Olyphant in Dreamcatcher
Brad Dourif in Graveyard Shift
I'm sorry, NOT Brad Dourif in Graveyard Shift, Andrew Divoff in Graveyard Shift! Big Difference!
Rob Lowe in The Stand
I just watched The Mist last night. Good one!
I approve of David Strathairne! Also good would be Ed Harris in Needful Things and Jamey Sheridan in The Stand.
You really can't count Lawnmower Man as a King movie. It has nothing at all to do with King's short story and he sued to have his name removed from the movie. That having been said, Fahey is quite gorgeous in it.
