Trivia
Tangerine Dream
According to Director Mark L. Lester, Tangerine Dream never actually saw the film. They sent him some music and told him to choose whatever he liked.
Another options for Charlie
Jennifer Connelly and Taylor Neff were considered for the role of nine year old Charlene "Charlie" McGee. Drew Barrymore won the part, and was around eight years old when she played it.
The first novel
'Firestarter' was the first Stephen King novel published in a limited edition. King later regretted this decision because of the copies' preciousness and unavailability.
