Stephen King movies and book?

I am trying to remember two Stephen King movies. The first was released in the beginning of 1995, all I can remember is that some people were trying to check into a motel and this nervous little old woman was kicking something below the desk, turned out to be her tied up husband, and I think she turned out to be some monster or demon. It was about some guy writing books that were coming to life, about Apocolypse or something. It sucked a lot but I can't remember the title.

The second was fairly recent. I remember a cabin and something with a lot of teeth, and a mentally challenged kid they called "Duddits"?, I think his real name was Dudley. It sucked, too.

In the book, Delores Clayborne, when she saw the solar eclipse and looked into the sun, she saw a vision of a little girl looking back at her. This was supposed to be a scene from some other book that is somehow connected. What is the other book? They took that part out of the movie.

Thanks. (Not a big fan of Stephen King)

Update:

Dreamcatcher! I think so! and i totally forgot about the alien part. And now I remember someone getting hit by a car?

    The first movie, with the old lady, was not Stephen King but another horror master/legend: John Carpenter. The third of his apacalypse movies (the other two being "The Thing" and "Prince of Darkness"), this movie was about a Stephen King-like writer. It is called "In the Mouth Of Madness"

    The second movie is Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher".

    The last part of your question is about a book that connects with "Delores Claibourne" via the scene in the book during a solar eclipse. The other book is "Gerald's Game" and the heroine from that book is a little girl during the eclipse.

    I hope I was helpful.
