All things serve the beam and all roads lead to the Dark Tower.

It is connected to The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Tower, The Dead Zone, Tommyknockers, Insomnia, Dreamcatcher, 11/22/63. Dick Halloran saves Mike's dad. The homophobes that attack Adrian Mellon go to Shawshank. The turtle appears in TDT. Beverly mentions Frank Dodd from the Dead Zone. A character from Tommyknockers goes to Derry and sees Pennywise. Insomnia is kind of a sequel to IT. Dreamcatcher mentions a lot of elements from IT. Beverly and Richie have a cameo in 11/22/63.

Also, Mid-World (the Dark Tower specific, non Earth world) is not just home to the Dark Tower series. I am also fairly confident that the Eyes of the Dragon takes place in the same universe as Thomas and Dennis are mentioned in passing in one of the Dark Tower books.

Thinner: "Aw c'mon, curses ain't real! This isn't a Stephen king novel!

Stephen King is, and forever will be a legend.

Crazy I'm here right now. I'm only on my 5th Stephen King book but I grew up watching the movies. And I started noticing connections recently and here I am.

I’ve done my homework for this a lot and it still amazes me

I love how The Body is connected to Needful Things and Shawshank Redemption through one arsehole from Castle Rock

Actually, Castle Rock first appeared in 1973's 'It Grows on You', which was republished in 1982, before being collected in 1993's 'Nightmares and Dreamscapes'.

"...And here you thought Marvel invented this sort of thing." MIchael Moorcock: "Am I a joke to you?"

King is a writer first and a human second

I knew the voice sounded familiar it's so great to hear Scott from the Kingscast podcast, highly recommend to any Constant Readers/Watchers

Stephen King also appeared in a later episode of Quantum Leap as a young version of himself. I remember him going round and round with the Devil, which was when the series first met the Devil I think.

Excellent video Sai. Long days and pleasant nights.

There are now 8 books in the Dark Tower series, not 7 as mentioned in the video.

There's also a connection between dreamcatcher book and pennywise

How many times have we seen the cane with the wolf head on it? What's the symbolism behind it? Andre Linoge had it in Storm of the Century,Stu Redman had it at the end of The Stand,The guy that owned the old house in Salem's Lot walked with it too... What's up with that cane?

the only one I knew of was the town that's right next to Derry is the town where pet cemetery takes place

is Steven King from a parallel universe 🙀 that explains a few things??? !

*Actually* Marvel comics introduced the multiverse around the same time as King in the '70s but *DC comics did it first...way back in the 50s*

Love this man

I think Father Callahan would’ve been a great mentor to father Damien karras If Damien didn’t sacrifice himself at the end of the exorcist. Just imagine William Peter Blatty and Stephen king collating dawg , but RIP William

Long days long nights long pleasures! Thank ye sai

This is like the Tommy Westphall Theory. Its ingenious

It’s KA!!!

I got to read the Dark Tower books

I'm a true fan. I loved maximum overdrive

Does this multiverse have their own Monitor and Anti-Monitor?

Which edition are those covers in 0:56 from? 2016 - "The Dark Tower 8-Book Boxed Set"?

Like F. Paul Wilson's Secret History of the World, Much of King's work leads to The Krimson King and the Dark Tower.

I think you missed Storm Of The Century

How many Stephen King universes are there? The original novels, dark tower novels which include the revised novel of the Stand and the tommyknockers, the movies and miniseries (except the ones that were remade [the original shining is here]), the original miniseries and movies that were later remade (shining remake is here/ original Stand miniseries isn’t) dark tower movie series (includes the next Stand miniseries and the tommyknockers), the original Stand miniseries, the original Stand novel, the Stand comics, and um, the comics he made. So if my calculations are right, umm 9! Why so many Stand universes though? I mean five! Well, it’s official, the Stand has the most remakes!

Are all the modern movies like the dark tower (2017) it chapter 1 and 2 and doctor sleep and pet sematry (2018) are they connected

So Stephen King is the Dark Tower. The center of everything! Symbolism

Actually Marvel did cuz originally the Marvel Multiverse started in the comic book series novels but he's the first one to do it as a novel form I'm talking to the person in the video did do it first but what makes Stephen King's unique is that he's the only one who probably started it in the sense of making novels which makes him as unique as Marvel you think about it do you imagine the time it would take pretty cool stuff if you ask me

What about Desperation.....i really enjoyed that one ❤

Im glad af king survived my damn that would be like :{{{{{

Not writing 6 pages a day … that’s what I’ve been doing

All roads end at the Dark Tower, and they start in Castle Rock.........

tessiedesigncompany.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-illustrated-stephen-king-universe.html

"Hearts In Suspension" is not a collection of essays by King. He's got (a great) one in it and a long piece of (previously-published fiction), but most of the book is not by him.

While I like Most of King's work, Heinlein was blending his universes long before that.

I knew all this stuff :)))))!

OK... I have 2 thoughts on Stephen King and the Multiverse.... (1) Why not give Firestarter an X-Men treatment? The story, the elements, the author, the potential screenwriters, director, producers....they are all onboard This is a one-off and not as the author intended but can lead to a series of X-Men\Stephen King one-offs wrapped around the source of mutant powers -The Shine (2) The Shine Yes, The Dark Tower binds most elements of The Stephen King Multiverse but there is one element that binds ALL that is Stephen King....The Shine. This is why I feel Stephen King is holding out until the last breathing moment of his career(and life) to release this final opus

One point of contention: DC did it something like 50 years before Marvel.

im sorry i did not mean to troll you for some reason my keep board repeats shit and wont let me delet it again sorry

Flip. He has been busy.

keystone earth

no way am i reading all those books

well i mean DC's first instance of a multiverse "flash of two worlds" happened way more stephen king so that marvel line is a little odd.

You guys want a "Multiverse of Madness" that actually lives up to it's name? Don't look to the MCU, Constant Reader.

W

Wait, how are the wolves of the calla cyborg werewolves ?

If those stories are all interconnected, isn't that a universe then?

I actually got hit by a car after I saw the remake of pet sematary in theaters.

Just hearing needful thinks 👍

no im a boss

Too many spoilers

I'll never understand the love for King. I kind of liked the first Dark Tower, but the second and onward were just so awful. It went from this slow, subtle, ominous journey with slight supernatural elements to 'magic fantasy man goes to the real world and has hijinx' while introducing a million new characters who act like cartoon characters. It's the most whiplash a story has given me.

It does not make sense in context ..

Quantity doesn't equal quality. Most of King's books are mediocre at best.

Man these movies sucked

They are remaking the running man.... 😔 I dislike king as a person. And his books mostly suck mostly

no im a boss
