Welcome to the video edition of The Best Horror Movie You Never Saw, where we take a look at all of the horror films that you may have never seen, haven’t given a chance in a long while, or just plain forgot about. Today we’re taking a look at George A. Romero’s chilling adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Half (BUY IT HERE), starring Timothy Hutton, Amy Madigan, Robert Joy, Julie Harris, and Michael Rooker!

Here’s the official synopsis for The Dark Half:

Horror writer Thad Beaumont (Hutton) hopes to distance himself from his murder novels and from George Stark, the pseudonymous name he has used to author them. To achieve this, he cooks up a murder of his own: a publicity stunt that should lay Stark to rest forever. But when the people around him are found gruesomely slain and his own fingerprints dot the crime scenes Beaumont is dumbfounded until he learns that Stark has taken on a life of his own…and begun a gruesome quest for vengeance!

This episode of The Best Horror Movie You Never Saw was written by Eric Walkuski, Narrated by Shawn Knippleberg, Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by Lance Vlcek, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
