The eleventh episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1996 features our producer David Rosen’s personal pick, Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners. Directed and co-written (with Fran Walsh) by Peter Jackson and starring Michael J. Fox, Trini Alvarado, Jeffrey Combs, Peter Dobson, Dee Wallace, Chi McBride and Jim Fyfe, The Frighteners was a box-office disappointment but helped launch Jackson’s career in Hollywood.
