![]() ![]() With Annie Wilkes being this year’s protagonist, the assumption was that she would kidnap someone and tie them to a bed à la her iteration in Misery. It’s perhaps most famously known for being the place where things get intense every 27 years in a little story called It. It appears in several of his most famous works, including Pet Sematary, 11/22/63, Needful Things, The Tommyknockers, and many more. When Ace returns from the dead to see Pop, he says he was in Derry, a common setting for King’s fiction. When the kids get to the lake, they reference the fact that the warden of Shawshank killed himself there, but “they found the body but not the head.” Of course, this is a reference to a subplot in season one. There’s even some playfulness here with names, as one of the kids in the short story was named Gordon LaChance (turned into just Chance here) and another was named Vern (adapted into Vera here). ![]() When Chance and two other friends go with Joy to find the body of Ace Merrill in Castle Lake, it’s very clearly a riff on the quartet that goes searching for a corpse in the short story famously turned into Stand by Me. ![]() In the flashback to when Pop adopted Abdi and Nadia, he gives them food and milkshakes from this classic King location, featured in The Dark Half, Needful Things, It, and “The Sun Dog,” as well as being name-dropped in season one of Castle Rock. Later, when Pop refers to the history of the region and says, “Satanists made a bad deal with the wrong hombre and they burned for it,” he’s directly referencing the plot of the prequel, “Jerusalem’s Lot.” Sitting on a hill overlooking the city of Jerusalem’s Lot just as it did in King’s book, Marsten House feels like one of the most direct riffs on King lore that the series has yet produced. After Annie finds her way out of the hole in which she fell at the end of the premiere, she ends up in a creepy, rundown mansion called Marsten House, a direct reference to the central location of King’s second novel, published in 1975. On the top-right, you can click the christmas lights to break them and create sparks and open up the barrel causing confetti to pop out.While the news that season two would feature Annie Wilkes as the protagonist led many people to presume that Misery would be the main touchstone for Castle Rock this year, it would appear that the world of Salem’s Lot is going to take that prize. You can open the box and make sparkles fly out, the stage lights can be turned on and off and you can click the plate of coals to make more sparkles. If you click it enough times, music starts to play and the stage lights up. If you click the curtain, it pops up and shows different scenes like a small cottage.
