The Tower of Dark: it's exactly the same, except the main character is now Holly Gibney. (Let me have my silliness. Please. All in good humor. I love Flanagan's stuff.)

Desperation/The Regulators: no change. Under the Haunted Dome: no change except now there's a backstory involving a cursed waffle iron that may or may not be Satanic. Oh, and now the woodchuck doesn't die at the beginning, but their sacrifice towards the end is a key plot point.

The Haunting of Overdrive: when for-some-reason-now-a-banker-or-something Arnie and his car disappear, it is up to his friends to find the truth - but Christine herself may have betrayed them all. She and trucks have gained sentience. EVIL sentience. The danger is high stakes - and high diesel.

The Hounding of Cujo: Cujo and his brother Tad meet a drifter artist. Years later, Tad is Thad, a successful author who may also be possessed, and he returns to find that the artistic medium that took his beloved brother turned him not only into a dog... but also into a creature rabid for revenge.

Combining "Stephen King adaptation-master" Mike Flanagan and "character names are sacrosanct, the rest is negotiable" Mike Flanagan together to make a Carrie miniseries... why stop there??? There's so much potential!
