Stephen King's Storm Of The Century
Pearl, 9.35pm
It's time to hide behind the sofa again as best-selling horror novelist Steven King brings us the first episode of this terrifying six-part tale of a town besieged by evil, written specially for television.
The inhabitants of a picturesque, sleepy little town on a small island off the coast of Maine find themselves cut-off from the outside world when they are hit by the worst snow storm of the century.
As snow steadily buries everything familiar, terror arrives in the form of an evil stranger. Streets disappear, an eerie darkness envelopes the town and a series of bizarre murders creates a nightmare of fear. With no help forthcoming and no end to the storm in sight, the townspeople are forced to take drastic action before it's too late. Starring Tim Daly, Debrah Farentino (both above), Colm Feore and Casey Siemaszko.
