If memory serves...it pre-dated a lot of Stephen King movies.

Demon seed came out a year after Carrie. Yes it predates all of Stephen Kings movies aside from that one. Both were very new to movie adaptations back then and neither had any control or much say in the movies anyhow. Book rights were just purchased and so be it.
I read both authors however my all time favorite and in my opinion most influential horror author ever is H.P. Lovecraft. Feel free to try to make a case that any other author is as influential as Lovecraft was to the genre if not even more wide spread. Hell try to find any valid horror writer who does not borrow from his mythos.
