The Dark Half — 

The Dark Half (1993) It was adapted from the Stephen King novel. This movie is directed by George A. Romero. it is rated R. It is two hours long, but well worth watching it.

Summary.. The horror writer, Thad Beaumont wants to quit writing the murder novels that has help to make him famous. In order to do that, Thad must get rid of George Stark, the name, that he was using to write the books under to stay anonymous to everyone. The one thing that Thad didn't count on is that George Stark has become a real person and is killing people that know Thad. The odd thing is that Thad's finger prints seem to end up at the gruesome murder sites. George Stark doesn't want to be dead, he wants revenge!

Sheriff Pangborn investigates the situation. Pangborn has known Thad for a long time, and he doesn't think that Thad is the killer, but it is hard for him to understand when things keep pointing toward Thad. Things get really strange with black birds, doctor visits, hints of twins.

It is a suspenseful movie, worth watching, if you are a Romero fan or King fan, you will not be disappointed at all, it's great.

Thad Beaumont is Timothy Hutton...Liz Beaumont is Amy Madigan..and Sheriff Alan Pangborn is Michael Rooker.. There are great actors and actresses in this movie.

Also, the novel by Stephen King is a great book to read..

The Dark Half does have a Halloween feel to it. I like movies that are adapted from Steven King books.
