The Dark Half

“There are very good reasons to be afraid of the dark.”

Thad Beaumont (Timothy Hutton) is a literary novelist who has made his real money writing violent thrillers under the name George Stark. When the secret gets out, he stages a mock funeral and buries the pen name. Then people start dying the way they do in the Stark books, and Sheriff Alan Pangborn (Michael Rooker) has to decide whether Thad's wife Liz (Amy Madigan) and their family are next.
