The Lawnmower Man is a short story by Stephen King, first published in Cavalier in 1975. It tells the story of a man who hires an odd individual to cut his lawn for him. The story appears in the short story collection Night Shift.
A movie of the same name starring Jeff Fahey and Pierce Brosnan was made by New Line Cinema. It was very loosely based on King's story, so much so that King requested his name pulled from the film's original title (Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man).
