![]() ![]() In the book, Annie does still hit her head on the typewriter and gets back up, but she eventually succumbs to her head injury while she is trying to get a chainsaw to finish Paul off. Stephen King says that the Annie Wilkes character had been intended to be a composite of his scariest fans. Outside of the Miseryankle scene, the final major difference is the nature of Annie's death. Misery earns a place as one the best stalker movies of all time, earning it a place among deranged-fan classics such as The King of Comedy and Joker. In turn, the novel ends up being a global bestseller. Since Paul escapes with his manuscript in the book, he is actually able to have it published in the end of the Stephen King novel. Related: Misery: Why Paul Is A Perfect Protagonist (& Annie Is A Perfect Villain)Ī key difference between the book and the movie is the aforementioned burned manuscript. In the movie, the Sheriff is merely shot in the chest with a shotgun by Annie, whereas in the book, he is brutally killed by being stabbed and then run over with a lawnmower. The Sheriff's death in the Misery movie is another difference. After Annie is unhappy with Paul's ending, in the novel, he's able to get away with burning a stack of papers rather than his creation. ![]() Another major difference between the Misery movie and the book is the fire that burns Paul's work. ![]()
