In this in-depth retrospective, I tell the story behind Stephen King’s 1999 3-part miniseries “Storm of the Century”, an underrated horror gem from the silver age of the T.V. miniseries. I delve deep into its development, production and legacy while providing my own thoughts on the series. Starring: Tim Daly, Colm Feore, Debrah Farentino, Jeffrey DeMunn and many, many others. Directed by Craig Baxley. Written for television by Stephen King.

- Stephen King wrote the miniseries directly for television rather than adapting an existing novel
- The production leaned heavily on practical effects to maintain a grounded, storm‑battered atmosphere
- The character of André Linoge was designed to echo classic King villains with a calm, unsettling menace
