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.
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.
If red from the shawshank redemption arrived at that prison in the 1920s then he could have been there same time as the big guy arrived on death row on green mile movie
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'.
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.
"Robot werewolves that dress like doctor Doom...i know that's weird but I'm context it makes sense." A sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comic book, tabletop rpg, and anime fan... Even if i didn't know the context, which I do love that book and going to love rereading it more now that I've finished Salem's Lot, that doesn't sound weird that sounds awesome.
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?
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
Marvel and DC Comics were using the multiverse concept throughout their comics looong before Stephen King used it. Decades before. So, yes in fact, they did "invent" it before King.
The box set were trade paperbacks with different covers. The interconnected covers were from mass market books released at the same time that seem to be out of print.
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!
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
I'm not a fan of Superhero genre so I'm dont mind Marvel/DC universe. I'm only interested in Horror Thriller stuff tho. Stephen King and Lovecraft are my favourite
Actually you’re wrong it wasn’t neither Marvel nor King but the great 19th century French author Honore de Balzac with his Human Comedy Series who was truly the first established author to create such a concept as interconnected stories and novels. The Human comedy series consists of 91 published works spanning 33 years of French history in its various settings all existing in the same literary universe.
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
You must not keep up with King too much... His current book on deck is called "The Institute" "Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents-telekinesis and telepathy-who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.”"
@@ulamumafarciaporpial They said, "Why not give Firestarter the Xmen treatment?" I pointed out that 'The Institute' was pretty much exactly that. X-men = Bunch of mutant kids in a school setting. Firestarter = Mutant child held against her will in a shadowy government facility. The Institute = Bunch of mutant children held against their will in a shadowy government facility. Bonus - 'The New Mutants' is the same damn thing.
"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.
I think just in the sense that they are humanoid but have the faces of wolves. "I promise you this makes sense in context", it doesn't really though...
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.
All things serve the beam and all roads lead to the Dark Tower.
Yes! It does😁
Say True.
Say true Sai.
Dark Tower was masturbatory garbage. Not his best work and look at the ending. LOL.

Stephen King is, and forever will be a legend.
*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*
I feel like I haven't been telling into the void for years.
Thinner:
"Aw c'mon, curses ain't real! This isn't a Stephen king novel!
Yes
A little "hardy, har, har" moment from the man himself.
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.
Aye, All-World is the home of Talisman as well.
And Rose Madder

"...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 love how The Body is connected to Needful Things and Shawshank Redemption through one arsehole from Castle Rock
Well what do you expect, he’s from Shawshank State Penitentiary.
If red from the shawshank redemption arrived at that prison in the 1920s then he could have been there same time as the big guy arrived on death row on green mile movie
And the guy who killed Chris in the body actually served at shawshank
I’ve done my homework for this a lot and it still amazes me
Excellent video Sai. Long days and pleasant nights.
And may you have twice the number ❤

There's also a connection between dreamcatcher book and pennywise
Pennywise is also directly mentioned in the Tommyknockers.
thats just the Derry Arc
I knew the voice sounded familiar it's so great to hear Scott from the Kingscast podcast, highly recommend to any Constant Readers/Watchers

the only one I knew of was the town that's right next to Derry is the town where pet cemetery takes place
Ludlow? Which also served as the setting for "The Dark Half".
There are now 8 books in the Dark Tower series, not 7 as mentioned in the video.
David Lutz Hell yes, 100% should read all of them.
Great! Which is the 8th?
@@BeautifulEarthJa The Wind Through the Keyhole. It sits between Wizard and Glass, and Wolves of Calla. Book 4.5 if you will.
@David Lutz the best story king has done
@the teen beast it was very good but to me dark tower is the best. The stand was very good also
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?
Dang I never noticed that!!!
I did too but never went further than to notice
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
And may u have twice the number!!
is Steven King from a parallel universe 🙀 that explains a few things??? !
Love this man
Marvel and DC Comics were using the multiverse concept throughout their comics looong before Stephen King used it. Decades before.
So, yes in fact, they did "invent" it before King.
This is like the Tommy Westphall Theory. Its ingenious
I got to read the Dark Tower books
30
Read The Stand first
I'm rereading them again
They’re the best. Hope you got there.
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'm a true fan. I loved maximum overdrive
So Stephen King is the Dark Tower. The center of everything! Symbolism
Actually, no!It's mentioned in the 6th and 7th Dark Tower books, Stephen King is just a prophet of Gan!Gan is The Dark Tower!
Does this multiverse have their own Monitor and Anti-Monitor?
I think you missed Storm Of The Century
Which edition are those covers in 0:56 from?
2016 - "The Dark Tower 8-Book Boxed Set"?
The box set were trade paperbacks with different covers. The interconnected covers were from mass market books released at the same time that seem to be out of print.
All roads end at the Dark Tower, and they start in Castle Rock.........
Im glad af king survived my damn that would be like :{{{{{
What about Desperation.....i really enjoyed that one ❤
It’s KA!!!
Not writing 6 pages a day … that’s what I’ve been doing
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
Harry Videoz
If you watch Dr Sleep there’s at least 2 Dark Tower references in that movie.
In the dark tower movie when they come across the abandoned theme park the sign on top of the ride says...pennywise
The novels? Yes. The movies? No really
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!
There is many realities exist so I think every story and adaptations are taking place in different realities

Lol dc did it before marvel. And lovecraft even before that.

@@neroresurrected I stand corrected
@@neroresurrected I guess I learn new things everyday
While I like Most of King's work, Heinlein was blending his universes long before that.
You guys want a "Multiverse of Madness" that actually lives up to it's name? Don't look to the MCU, Constant Reader.
Flip. He has been busy.
One point of contention: DC did it something like 50 years before Marvel.
I knew all this stuff :)))))!

no im a boss

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.
I think he meant the MCU
Yes. DC was always first on EVERYTHING. They always get SHAFTED when it comes to getting credit. See Bob kane And Finger
Too many spoilers
Too few spoilers. You shouldnt watch such a video if you still want to read the books smh.
@@ghostofuchiha3807 exactly
It does not make sense in context ..
You can't make sense with Fantasy Novels lmao, ain't that obvious
If those stories are all interconnected, isn't that a universe then?
Multiple universes. Different instances of an Earth.
There are more Reality than one. Like the Stand took place in Alternate Reality when the Virus wipe half of human populations

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
