It’s a perfect bit of texture for the season and might also foretell what we’ll see in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. The excerpt we hear mentions the name Speedy, references a roller coaster, and speaks of a place called the Territories.
It’s The Talisman, a 1984 fantasy novel co-written by King and Peter Straub. In one of the final scenes, we see Lucas reading a book to a catatonic Max. The fourth season was no exception the bullying Eleven endures-and her subsequent meltdown at the roller rink-is straight out of Carrie, while Vecna’s blood-filled balloon popping in Max’s subconscious is an allusion to It.īut it’s the fourth season finale where the Stephen King references get even more literal. The show’s title and trademark font borrow stylistically from King’s 1991 novel Needful Things, while references to film adaptations pop up frequently. The horror author’s presence looms large over the Netflix series and has from day one. It’s no secret that Stranger Things is indebted to the works of Stephen King. And, worst of all, your imagination has run dry. The journalist's interest turns out to merely be professional. Especially with the lawsuit hanging over everyone's head. The film director wants you to make a few changes in your story. The magazine asks you to supply a different story. The family of a girl murdered on the underground threatens to sue you and the magazine for glorifying the grisly details of their daughter's death, despite your insistence that you didn't read the news coverage of the murder. A pretty young journalist seems to be taking a personal interest in you and your career. A director wants to make a movie of your award-winning story and wants your input on the script. Suddenly, success! You win a magazine contest-first prize is publication for your terrifying short story about a horrible murder on an underground train. Your imagination is dark, your inspiration the terrible things that can happen to a young woman traveling alone. A brilliant one, too, though like any writer, you sometimes have a dry spell. Who always wants to know why you haven't brought home a nice girl. You live with your overbearing mother who always seems to interrupt when you're writing a key scene.
You're an underpaid civil servant who dreams of chucking it all to become a famous author.
