I guess the most famous of these are Children of the Corn and Trucks, but I've seen Quitters Inc, Graveyard shift, The Magler, The Ledge, Battleground, Sometimes They Come Back, and two or three Lawnmower Man movies.
Reading your summaries brought back a lot of good memories for me. I remember being terrified of Children of the Corn and I loved Quitters Inc perhaps more than any other story in this collection.
But the one that got to me the most is one that you didn't care for. The Boogeyman scared the shit out of me. Not necessarily when I read it the first time, but after having kids and hearing them cry in the middle of the night...Jesus H!

I've read a lot of King short stories, but these don't seem familiar.
