Dunaway worked primaily in television, but also co-wrote the screenplays for Impulse and Cujo. He said that his primary contribution to the Cujo script was to remove the explicitly supernatural elements, because "if you have a perfectly set up rational explanation for the bad stuff... the supernatural stuff is redundant and distracting."[3]
