The Outer Limits episode "The Revelations of 'Becka Paulson" was based on Stephen King's short story with the same title, which was first published in the double issue of Rolling Stone magazine, 19 July - 2 August 1984.

The episode stars Catherine O'Hara as 'Becka Paulson, a frowsy, none-too-bright housewife living in a rundown trailer park. Accidentally shooting herself in the head, 'Becka manages to survive her wounds, but not without a few curious side effects. The story really shifts into gear when 'Becka begins conversing with a handsome stranger -- who happens to exist only as an image in an 8 x 10 photo frame. "The Revelations of 'Becka Paulson" was first telecast on June 6, 1997. This short story was heavily revised and added to the Tommyknockers.
