Needful Things (1993, Castle Rock)
Synopsis
 Directed by Fraser C. Heston. Written by Stephen King and W.D. Richter. Starring Max von Sydow, Ed Harris, Bonnie Bedelia and Amanda Plummer. Set in Stephen King's favorite haunted hamlet of Castle Rock, Maine, NEEDFUL THINGS begins with the arrival of Leland Gaunt (Max von Sydow), a grandfatherly sort who opens a curio shop called Needful Things. It turns out to be a rather special shop, one wherein every patron can find the one thing that he or she wants most in the world. As a fee, Gaunt asks only that the purchaser perform a small task, a prank on a fellow citizen. When the pranks begin to turn sour, Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Ed Harris) begins to investigate, and slowly begins to believe that Mr. Gaunt is not exactly what he seems.
