- TriviaAccording to Stephen King, the story of this film was part autobiographical as it was inspired by the events that led to him revealing his own writing pseudonym of Richard Bachman.
- GoofsNear the end, when George Stark is holding Thad (Timothy Hutton)'s twins, his gun is a Colt 1911 (as he's had throughout the movie). When Thad moves closer, the gun changes to a Beretta 92FS. After Thad takes one of the twins, George's gun is again a 1911 when he tucks it in his waistband.

Featured review
The diabolical alliance of George A. Romero and Stephen King quietly delivered expectations but it's not certainly a great horror film.
"The Dark Half" is pretty interesting and well directed but it's something you've seen before. There's a decent amount of gore, suspense is well crafted, an effective score and regular acting. Maybe the fact that I grew with the 80's Slasher movies made me think every minute about "Basket Case" and compare it with "The Dark Half".
A decent horror movie with a thrilling ending. Deserves a watch.
6/10.
