Fear Flashbacks! – FIRESTARTER makes its broadcast TV debut!

Ah yes, there was once a time, very long ago, when Drew Barrymore wasn’t “that first chick from SCREAM”, she wasn’t a talk show host, and she wasn’t a surprisingly well-adjusted former pre-teen alcoholic. She was just a child star schlepping for the latest product from the Stephen King factory.

I saved this advert from a Los Angeles TV Guide in 1987 when FIRESTARTER was making its broadcast debut. No, it’s not a good film, but neither is the remake or the source material, to be honest. Be nice to Drew–it’s not her fault.
