any King fan both longtime and New

as Carrie White in Carrie back in 1976
and Cusack who plays warden Porter is

skarsgård who terrified millions with
his turn as penny wise playing the kid
number nine number 19 within the Stephen
King multiverse the number 19 is
considered something of an auspicious
number often denoted or warning of
change for the person place or thing
involved for example in the shining
novel not only does Jack chase Wendy up
19 steps the story also includes the
ominous room 217 and 2 + 17 equals 19
there are dozens of other examples
scattered throughout King’s short
stories novellas and novels – so when
fans caught a glimpse of Henry Devers
old missing poster they were not
surprised to see the date 1 9 1991 to
1905 I a reversed 19 number 8 Shawshank
Prison the location of the novella and
1994 film The Shawshank Redemption this
prison is the source of many an easter
egg a visual nod can be glimpsed in the
second episode where for a moment a
street named redemption road is seen
near the prison one episode earlier the
music warden Dale Lacey selects as his
outro piece celeriac is suave Zephyr
detto is the same piece that landed Andy
also warden Norton and his suicide are

Shawshank isn’t the only King location
mentioned in the show Juniper hills
asylum home to the likes of Henry Bowers
of it after he loses his mind also gets
name dropped when they try to find a
place for the kid I could pull some
strings at juniper Hill might be able to
get him a bed by Monday Monday what’s he
supposed to do until Monday number seven
familiar characters you signed for I
deposited the distressing before – what
else you’ve been signing for Alan like
Derry Maine Castle Rock is one of Kings
frequently used fictitious locations as
each story doesn’t happen in a vacuum
the events of one might be referenced in
another so not only are there plenty of
familiar actors and locations in this
series but a number of familiar
characters show up as well
Alan Pangborn played by Scott Glenn is
the protagonist of needful things and is
now the paramour of Ruth Deaver
furthermore Henry Devers client Lee Ann
chambers was married to Richard eyeball
chambers Chris’s big brother and stand
by me in the body and a member of aces
gang along with Vince de Chardin who
also makes an appearance in show hey the
name Vince Desjardin lived out on remo
Road number six Dodd house so the living
space is just under 3,000 square feet
plus you could finish the basement and
turn it into a mother-in-law suite while
some familiar characters from other King
works make appearances others are merely
implied such as the case when Molly
strand is showing a recently for sale
house to potential new homeowners when
it’s made known to the buyers that one
of the previous owners of the property
died a terrible death
Molly tries to assuage their concerns by
confessing that a murderous strangler
died in her house but she’s totally fine
I mean a serial strangler died in my
house and I sleep like a baby the
reference here is to the book and film
the dead zone which is also set in
Castle Rock
and sees serial strangler Frank Dodd
kill himself at home before he can be
arrested number five Dale Lacey’s files
it’s discovered that before his sudden
suicide Gordon Dale Lacey was compiling
files on all the terrible things that
have happened in Castle Rock over the
years in one scene as his files are
being looked through a number of classic
King tales get a call back from needful
things – Cujo to the body to the dead
zone with animal attacks murder and a
visit from perhaps the devil himself
Castle Rock makes Derry Maine look like
a safe quiet little town remember the
dog strangler
sure you do how about all the others
that didn’t make headlines number four
the mellow tiger and Nan’s luncheonette
what happened to Nana’s luncheonette you
want the cover story or the real story
after the Shawshank Redemption the most
called back story in Castle Rock is most
certainly needful things fans of the
book will be happy to see that along
with Alan Pangborn a couple of
establishments have made their way from
one story to the other Nan’s
luncheonette which seems to be a chain
as it appears in both Derry and Castle
Rock gets a mention from Henry Deaver
while the mellow tiger a bar and a main
location in needful things seems to
still be doing a good business you’re
not take that money you gotta take that
version of the story just like that it
goes from being a kidnap into a Clara
Clara number 3 the Crimson King as a way
to combat her increasingly severe
senility Ruth Deaver uses chess pieces
to bring herself back to reality during
a particularly bad moment she finds the
Red King – Stephen King fans this seems
significant as the Crimson King is the
big bad and source of all evil in eske’s
universe also auspicious is that her
chess set is not in the standard black
and white but red and white the
overarching theme for many of King’s
works is the battle between good and
evil
frequently codified as the white for
good and the red for evil safe to say
something big is going down in Castle
Rock see I can get lost in the past
these are my breadcrumbs if I find a
chess piece in the icebox well I know
it’s now not there and I can find my way
out of the woods number two
Jackie Torrence miss Torrence Jackie

there are many familiar faces in Castle
Rock but even some of the new ones have
connections of their own Jackie is
Molly’s assistant and while she seems
sweet
she’s also somewhat obsessed with death
and mystery for those not paying
attention or less familiar with the
shining her name might slip right by
however although her real name is Diane
she renamed herself Jackie to honor her
deceased uncle Jack Torrence here’s
Johnny that’s right that Jack Torrence
in Episode eight
she even proves herself to be handy
before we unveil our number one pick
judge not lest ye be judged
I meant climb the mountain to look for
number one shining while it’s never
expressly said that she has the shining
Molly strand is clearly struggling with
a psychic disorder she can hear the
thoughts and intentions of other people
sometimes from a distance away at times
she even gets glimpses into the future
her abilities are awfully similar to
those of Danny Torrance and like the
grown-up Danny in the novel dr. sleep
she self-medicates with illicit
substances to help dull the constant
supernatural onslaught how her shining
will play out in the grand scheme of
things is yet to be seen but perhaps
