There are often comments that the horror film industry should look towards more books to create movies. That is true. Horror novels aren't often known for the transition to film unless it's a "mega-author." The fact is, horror novels have been the basis of far more movies than are discussed. Authors have been doing this for decades, but few get attention for it. Here is a growing list of those movies that have stemmed from the written word. They are organized by decade and year.

For those visionaries who have already done so, we applaud them for their work. Here is a list of movies created from horror novels listed by decade.

• 1960s
