Possessory credit was used in what 1980 horror film based on Stephen King's 1977 novel
Possessory credit A possessory credit in filmmaking is the use of a film credit which gives primary artistic recognition to a single person – usually (but not always) the film's director. Examples include "A Stanley Kubrick film" ("The Shining"), "A film by Quentin Tarantino" ("Pulp Fiction"), and "Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho" ("Psycho"). Possessory credit is also sometimes used in television programs, for example "Tyler Perry's House of Payne" (Tyler Perry's TBS sitcom "House of Payne"). Occasionally another word besides "film" is used such as "A Spike Lee Joint" or "A Martin Scorsese Picture". Possessory credit may also be given to the films producer, an example of this is "Steven Spielberg presents Back To The Future".
