Pretty much every SK film adaptation has fallen short, particularly the made for TV ones.  Of those, "It" is one of the better ones.
Yeah.  As a rule of thumb Stephen King adaptations pretty much suck.
I will say that Syfy Channel's 2009 version of Children of the Corn and ABC's 1997 version of The Shining (mini-series) are the best King adaptations I've seen.... very close to the original stories.

Dolores Claiborne was okay, and I feel that The Mist was pretty good, but I haven't actually read those two.

With a supernatural element, like ghosts, possession, curses, demons etc., but not heart attack inducing and generally hard to take seriously. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

John Carpenter's they live. So bad that it is actually awesome in a its so bad its good way.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Totally wasn't because I was an 11 year old and suddenly got a fullscreen pair of double D's, promise!

My favorite part in that series is when all the critters join into a big ball and they roll over some guy and a skeleton spits out. Classic. I can't remember which one that was from, though.

For extra credit, what super-rich actor had a role in critters 4 early in his career? (No google.)

Blech. I'll just keep pretending that the entire franchise consists of two films, three on a good day.
