After disturbing the elderly resident’s afternoon cup of tea, Linoge beats her to death with his wolf head cane and camps out in her living room. He sneaks into town while everyone is worried about preparing for the incoming storm and heads straight to the house of Martha Clarendon (Rita Tuckett). However, Linoge is clever and rather than tell them outright what he wants, knowing full well they would probably say no, he decides to show off his power first. The monster in question is Andre Linoge (Colm Feore), an immortal creature who wants something terribly from the residents of Little Tall Island. Much like IT (1990), Storm of the Century looks at a monster that operates somewhat out in the open, using fear and the fact that people are unlikely to believe stories of the encounter to ensure that it can get what it wants without much sneaking around. Set in his beloved Maine, though this time on the remote Little Tall Island (also home to Dolores Claiborne), Storm of the Century tackles what happens when a monster comes to town at the same time as a deadly storm, leaving the island residents isolated and fighting for their lives. However, in 1999, King decided to skip a step in the process and write the screenplay for Storm of the Century (1999) which would be directly produced for television. Kim Morrison celebrates of one of King’s most under-seen 90s miniseries…ĭue to the sheer number of pages in a lot of his books, many of Stephen King’s works have been given the mini-series treatment rather than risk losing important details just to conform to a standard film’s runtime.
