11. Stephen King
Last, and perhaps most important, is the film’s original mastermind. Stand By Me is based on a novella by Stephen King. In fact, that novella, titled “The Body,” was included in a collection of stories that also included the stories that would developed into Apt Pupil and The Shawshank Redemption (because Stephen King is freaking awesome). The Body/Stand By Me is just another jewel on the crown of one of the most prolific, popular, and talented writers of his generation, perhaps the one author who’s written a book that every adult in America has read.
