There are very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.<br /><br />Thad Beaumont is the author of a highly successful series of violent pulp thrillers written under the pseudonym of ‘George Stark’, but when he decides to ‘kill-off’ his alter-ego in a mock ceremony, it precipitates a string of sadistic murders matching those in his pulp novels, which are soon discovered to be the work of Stark himself. Looking like a maniacal version of his counterpart, Stark is not so willing to quit the writing game – even if it means coming after Thad's wife and their baby.<br /><br />Director<br />George A. Romero<br />Writers<br />Stephen King -George A. Romero<br />Stars<br />Timothy Hutton -Amy Madigan -Michael Rooker -Julie Harris -Robert Joy
