The Dark Tower: Every Movie Easter Egg. WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for The Dark Tower.–Fans may be plunged into a world of magic and fantasy with The Dark Tower movie, but the wealth of Stephen King Easter Eggs, movie references, and moments of fan service should help it all feel a bit more familiar. Especially if viewers were hoping to see the Dark Tower films confirm the same shared universe that Stephen King has revealed many of his most iconic stories to exist within. Those connections will have to wait for a Dark Tower sequel to ever be explored, but fans can enjoy them immediately. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS for the movie as we break down the references only known to those who’ve read the entire book series, the subtle nods and impossible- to- miss references to other King films, and everything else we spotted in our viewings. The Overlook Hotel. Fans had best strap in for a number of references and nods to not only The Dark Tower‘s books, but a TON of other novels and short stories by Stephen King.

1. Arlana's Corner offers 100% free Freebies - Updated daily!
2. The fictional story of an ex-football star, Johnny Dunn, who moves far from the spotlight after a family tragedy to a small, desert town he owns called Jake's Corner.
3. The question greets Jason Slover regularly. Is that really the car that was in the 1974 made-for-TV hot rod movie “The California Kid,” starring Martin Sheen.
4. · Update: Now that The Dark Tower is out, we’ve updated our handy guide to the Stephen King easter eggs hidden in the movie. At the beginning of the movie.

The adaptations of said books to other films are just as fair game, which means an unforgettable image dropped into the movie when an earthquake strikes New York City. When Jake is visiting his psychiatrist and discussing his dreams, a quake brought on by the Dark Tower being attacked punctuates the doctor’s accusations about the nature of Jake’s “dreams.” As the room begins to shake, the camera cuts to a close- up of a framed photo on the doctor’s side table. It’s a pretty shameless moment of fan service, since the framed photo isn’t even a person – just the Timberline Lodge, used as the Overlook Hotel in the big screen adaptation of King’s The Shining (1. Christine. Of Stephen King’s strictly horror novels adapted to motion pictures, the infamous Christine (1. The Shining. At least in terms of setting a trend for horror fans: of vehicles brought to life to commit evil deeds. In the book, the car was a bright red, 1.

Plymouth Fury previously owned by a man named Roland D. Le. Bay (a hint that King’s affection for the name would continue forward to The Dark Tower). The movie (and car) get a shout out when Jake is talking to his neighbor and friend in his bedroom about his visions. The boy, named ‘Timmy,’ opens the scene by idly pushing a model car back and forth along the floor of the room: a car looking an awful lot like a 1. Plymouth. 1. 0. Rose Drawings. Most of Jake’s drawings are straightforward to anyone who has seen the real things – the Man in Black, the Dark Tower, and even Roland the Gunslinger. But amidst these recreations of Jake’s visions, one can be seen scattered throughout that isn’t actually explained in the course of the film.

We’re referring to the blood red roses visible in only a few shots, which actually refer to more than one key plot element in the novels. First, there’s the Can’- Ka No Rey, or “The Red Fields of None” that surround the Tower itself. These roses are possessed of the magic needed to quietly sing a siren song, calling souls to the Dark Tower. But more importantly, a single such rose exists in a vacant lot in New York City, at the corner of Second Avenue and Forty- Sixth Street. The flower is eventually protected by Roland in the books, since its destruction would bring about the Dark Tower’s fall all on its own. Thank goodness the Man in Black never realized it in the movie. Cujo? Not all of Stephen King’s ‘horror’ stories are based in the supernatural, with no better example than Cujo.

The story of a good dog driven mad by rabies, terrorizing a small town – specifically, a mother and son – is named for the dog in question: a St. Bernard bitten by a rabid bat. As it turns out, the dog was actually named by King as a reference to Willie Wolfe, a member of the 1. Symbionese Liberation Army. The book even concludes with a puppy named Willie… which isn’t the only time the group will be mentioned in this list. It’s the dog itself who gets a nod in The Dark Tower, when a woman can be seen walking a large St. Bernard down the street, completely oblivious to the trials of Jake Chambers or Roland. He still seems to be a “good” dog, meaning the rabies is still a long way off.

All Hail the Crimson King. When Jake finds his way to the house in Dutch Hill, Brooklyn, his story heads into another gear – doing battle with a demonic house and being transported to Mid- World will do that. Before he leaves, he notes graffiti in the house reading “All Hail the Crimson King” and later, The Man in Black runs his hand along the very message. It’s shown elsewhere in the film, without ever being explained. But for those who have read the books, it’s nod to the real rivalry going on.

On the surface, The Dark Tower is a tale of vengeance between Roland and The Man in Black. In reality, The Man in Black a. Walter is a servant of the Crimson King, a timeless, evil being locked within the Dark Tower and largely comparable to Satan. The graffiti shows that dynamic is clearly still at work, although the real nature of The Dark Tower‘s place in the book series does raise some questions about the state of the Crimson King’s followers.

The IT Connection. Most Stephen King fans will voice their shock in the theater upon Jake’s discovery of a dilapidated and buried theme park bearing the name “PENNYWISE.” Not only is it the unforgettable name of the murderous clown in King’s IT, but the clown itself can almost be seen protruding from the ground. His hand, still holding a bunch of balloons is visible, and what may be a red hat beside it show Pennywise’s face is just below the surface (count yourselves lucky for that one). For moviegoers, it’s yet another obvious, impossible to miss homage to King. But for book readers, it’s actually faithful to shared universe Stephen King created using his Dark Tower series, working several of his previous stories into its fiction.

In fact, The Man in Black’s ability to shapeshift has led some to suspect that Pennywise is a similar form of demon… but we’re not sure that mystery will actually be confirmed or denied when the new IT hits theaters. The Shine”As evidence of just how much the world of The Dark Tower and King’s other stories really is, fans should pay close attention to the abilities of the film’s protagonist, Jake. Watch Last Kind Words Putlocker. In the world of the books, the ability is referred to by the residents of Mid- World as “The Touch,” making Jake able to sense and see reality far beyond his other senses. Even more powerful than the Seers of Mid- World, The Touch is what Jake and The Man in Black have in common – as well as another child in a famous King story. We’re referring to ‘Danny Torrance,’ the little boy terrorized by the ghostly inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining. In that story, the titular “shining” is a reference to Danny’s ability to not only see the Overlook’s spirits, but bring them to life.

In King’s novel The Stand, prophetic visions are said to be “the shining lamp of God… sometimes just the shine.” In the movie, the parallels between Danny and Jake are made even clearer, swapping out “The Touch” and referring to psychic abilities as “The Shine.”5. Misery’s Child. The Man in Black doesn’t work alone in the movie, but relies on a team of techs to monitor and launch attacks from psychic children against the Tower. During one scene set in his base of operations, a copy of the novel (clearly titled) Misery’s Child can be seen sitting on a console. That’s the name of the book that launches the events of Stephen King’s book Misery, as well as the 1. In the book, Misery’s Child is the final story by romance novelist Paul Sheldon. When he’s caught in a car accident and nursed back to health by an admiring fan, the revelation that Misery’s Child will kill his longtime heroine, Misery Chastain, Paul’s nightmare really begins. Since the book, like the film, earned acclaim, we have to assume that taste in psychological thriller novels extends well beyond the realm of our Earth.
