A few hours later in the plot, he is clean shaven. His activities are all accounted for over this time period, and taking time out to shave was not one of them.

Featured review
In Human Form...
Beginning with Salem's Lot in the 1970's, there have been scads of memorable TV adaptations of prolific horror author Stephen King's books and short stories.
STORM OF THE CENTURY could very well be the best of the bunch. It excels due to King's uncanny ability to insinuate unthinkable horrors into believable small town settings. Here, he captures the life of Little Tall island, complete with its personalities and local flavor.
The characters are built up and fleshed out, so that it actually matters when bad things start happening to them. Tim Daly is quite convincing as the sheriff, as are the other residents.
Colm Feore is exceptional as the mysterious stranger, Andre Linoge, one of television's all-time greatest horror villains. His slow takeover of the town is systematic and wickedly effective.
Network TV owes a lot to Stephen King, especially in this case. The "mini-series" format is perfect for this story. It allows it to unfold in a more natural, unhurried way.
Highly recommended...
