The novel centers on Thad Beaumont who has had success writing novels under both his real name and his pseudonym, George Stark, which he uses to publish base thrillers. When word gets out that they are one and the same, the author holds a mock funeral for Stark. But after a rash of murders eerily similar to those in the Stark books, Thad and his wife, Liz, realize that Stark is real and responsible, and must work with local Sheriff Pangborn to stop him.
The Dark Half (1993) starred Timothy Hutton as Thad Beaumont and George Stark, Amy Madigan as Liz Beaumont, Michael Rooker as Sheriff Alan Pangborn, Julie Harris as Reggie Delesseps, Robert Joy as Fred Clawson, Chelsea Field as Annie Pangborn, Royal Dano as Digger Holt, Rutanya Alda as Miriam Cowley, Beth Grant as Shayla Beaumont, Kent Broadhurst as Mike Donaldson, Tom Mardirosian as Rick Cowley, and Glenn Colerider as Homer Gamache.
It was directed by George A. Romero and produced by Declan Baldwin, Christine Forrest, and Romero who also penned the script based on the novel by Stephen King.
Orion Pictures unleashed it on April 23, 1993.
