Stephen King may be known best for his truly terrifying stories, but something tells us this is NOT the way he had hoped to scare anyone EVER!

A TV adaptation of the author's sci-fi/horror tale Under the Dome is currently in production in Wilmington, North Carolina, and apparently, the CBS show's crew neglected to inform an elementary school a few hundred yards away from their set that they were filming a scene that involved a fake gunfight!

So when shots rang out, the

Sweet, innocent country cupcake Carrie Underwood is a fan of HORROR?!

Eeeeeeeeek!

YUP it's true, and apparently the singer is SUCH a huge fan of scurrryyy stuff — Stephen King books in particular — that she wanted to incorporate mystery, terror, and something extra specific to Mr. King into her latest music video Two Black Cadillacs.

Get acquainted with Carrie's dark side and find out HOW she pays homage to the master wordsmith of dreadful things (above)!

We LOVED the cheeky, haunting visuals for TBCs AND we adored how the whole video told a riveting tale!

SO many beating hearts for Mz. Underwood and her ever-surprising musical creations!

Poor Chloë! That stain is never coming out of your prom dress!

Fifteen year-old silver screen starlet Chloë Moretz is shooting the remake of the classic Stephen King horror novel Carrie and, so far, it looks BLOODY frightening!

The 1976 version was one of the most shockingly violent films of its time but star Sissy Spacek was in her '20s when she played the titular role!

We are curious whether director Kimberly Peirce will strive to keep her film quite so edgy after casting an actual teen girl!

Normally, matronly actress Julianne Moore could help console Chloë after her troubling scenes but, oh yeah, Julez plays a psychotic zealot who torments young Carrie just as badly as everyone else!

Ch-ch-check out the first frightening stills from the film (below)!!

Yikes!! Momma Moore gives us the jeepers creepers!

We had no problem with Javier Bardem playing gunslinger Roland Deschain in the adaptation of Stephen Kings' series, The Dark Tower, but Russell Crowe might be even better!

The thespian is no stranger to killing people on screen and looks good in a cowboy hat. In fact, the trailer for RZA's kung fu epic, The Man With The Iron Fist, puts Crowe's credentials for the covetted role on full display.

He is reportedly in talks to

For realzies?

Warner Bros unofficially announced they're developing a prequel to The Shining!!

That idea is more cray than Jack Nicholson busting through our bathroom door with an axe!!

First Psycho got a prequel TV series, then it was Silence of the Lambs' turn, and now Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece might enjoy be subjected to the same treatment?

Prequels and sequels are one rung further up the ladder than remakes but the trend is disconcerting!

It's obviously a bit too early to talk plot but Stephen King's novel contains tons of allusions to previous murders and mayhem within the horrifically haunted Overlook Motel. We imagine there are tons of different directions they could turn!

Tread lightly, WB. The Shining is an all time classic!

AHHHHH!!!!

Stephen King's IT is being adapted into ANOTHER movie and we're already having nightmares!

If you've never read or seen the 1990 ABC miniseries, the terrifying story follows a group of children who must fight an evil creature that eats kids and loves to lure them into the sewers in the form of a clown.

Yes, it's literally the worst thing ever in the best way possible.

Tim Curry played the
