Do you think the original stories might be better?

Stephen King wrote in Danse Macabre, his non-fiction study of horror fiction and his own writing, that he thought the highest and most powerful form of fear he attempted to work into his fiction was what he defined as Terror, which he defined as the fear created by that which we cannot see or can be created by implication or suggestion. He used the example of what readers imagine the zombie might look like in W. W. Jacobs’s The Monkey’s Paw, which we never see as the father wishes it away. Terror taps into a reader’s imagination and asks them to create the source of fear. But, as he stated openly, he would also use what he defined as horror, in other words where you actually see the monster and it’s coming for you. And the lowest form would be trying to gross the audience out with such things as a truly hideous looking monster like a rotting zombie or a tremendous amount of blood being spilled.
Ideally, the animated short N and the episodes of Nightmares And Dreamscapes would all strive to achieve what Stephen King considered to be the highest form of fear. But, of course, the TV shows must also strive to reflect the original story it is trying to adapt.
So since Dr. Quack is interested in the levels of fear as it may allow him to conquer his own multiple fears such as an apocalypse of Zombie Ducks or Zombie Piranhas. As usual he has turned to you, the students of Dr. Oakes, for help.
Here is what he wants you to do.
First he wants to examine Stephen King’s N and explain what levels of fear that you use in this story.
Second, he then wants you to pick approximately THREE of the Nightmares And Dreamscapes episodes. Once you have picked them, watch them and explain to Dr. Quack what levels of fear that were created within the productions, if any. How effective were these episodes at creating fear and tell the stories of Stephen King? Do you think the original stories might be better? Did they make you want to watch more of the series or wish that it had continued beyond one season?
Bonus (10 Points): What will happen when the newscast takes place after the events of N?
