On this day, October 21, 1983, The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg, premiered in theaters. Starring Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, and Martin Sheen, this adaptation of Stephen King’s novel told the chilling story of a man who awakens from a coma with psychic abilities that allow him to see tragic events before they happen. With a $10 million budget, the film earned $20.8 million at the box office, becoming a classic in the thriller genre.

Do you remember watching The Dead Zone when it first hit theaters, or did you discover it later as part of Stephen King’s movie adaptations?
