30 years ago, George Romero tackled Stephen King outside of an anthology - and it's better than you remember. awalrusdarkly looks back at The Dark Half:
is yet another Stephen King story about a writer. In this case, it’s Thad Beaumont , a frustrated literary novelist who finds fortune and success when he decides to adopt a pseudonym, writing popular and brutal crime novels under the name George Stark. As King lays out in his novel, and Romero touches on in the film, Thad develops a whole series of rituals to get into the Stark frame of mind. He only uses a certain kind of pencil in a certain kind of jar.
Moving the story to the screen, of course, necessitates a certain whittling down of the more cerebral, internalized elements of King’s book. Romero has to make the threat something tangible for viewing audiences, and he does that by playing up both the more overt slasher elements of the story and by using years of horror prowess to craft memorable fantasy sequences that stoke the sense of dread.
