THE DEAD ZONE (1983) d. David Cronenberg (USA)
CHRISTINE (1983) d. John Carpenter (USA)

Romero, as well as rising stars like Brian De Palma and Tobe Hooper, to helm the big-screen adaptations of his novels, STEPHEN KING was quickly becoming a pop culture icon, such that having his name attached to a project (almost) insured box office success.
