To say that the Castle Rock trailer got some of the Birth.Movies.Death. excited would be a grotesque understatement: some of us damn near exploded. An anthology show basically introducing the Stephen King Extended Universe? And it's on Hulu, where it'll be free from any pesky network notes? And Bad Robot's producing it? And Duddits is coming back? Oh, man.

Well, we've had a few days to absorb the news, and it occurred to me that the Stephen King fans in the audience would probably be interested in seeing an exhaustive list of all the names, locations, and novels featured in that Castle Rock trailer (well, almost all of them: there were a few I couldn't make out, and I'm sure a few may have slipped past me while I was going frame by frame through this thing, like a goddamn lunatic).

Here's what I found, pretty much in order of appearance. I've also included a note of origin for each, because anything worth doing is worth doing right:

-----------------------------------------

Duddits (im Original: Dreamcatcher) ist ein Roman des US-amerikanischen Schriftstellers Stephen King aus dem Jahre 2001. Im Jahre 2003 wurde er unter dem Namen Dreamcatcher verfilmt. ― Stephen King, Dreamcatcher. Like “It is the laugh of a man in the grip of fond recall- the sight of a sunset, the firm feel of a woman’s breast through a thin silk shirt (not that Barry has, in Henry’s estimation, ever felt such a thing), or the packed warmth of beach sand.”. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan. With Morgan Freeman, Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis. Friends on a camping trip discover that the town they're vacationing in is being plagued in an unusual fashion by parasitic aliens from outer space. Duddits the dreamcatcher- After the four friends rescue him, Duddits binds them together with his telepathy. They each get a bit of it; Pete gets his find anything trick, Beaver and Henry get general telepathy and Jonesy gets the strongest dose. When Duddits dies, the connection is broken and the survivors, Henry and Jonsey are back to being. Gray is the third Stephen King villain to be an alien after IT and the Tommyknockers.

Phew. That was a bigger undertaking than I thought it'd be when I volunteered to write this post!

Please note that I'm positive I missed a few names in there (there's a point in the teaser where things start flying by really quickly, and some of the names are just too far off to see clearly), but I think for the most part we've got an idea what to expect here: primarily, these are characters and locations from Castle Rock stories and Derry, Maine stories, with a few side novels (The Shining, Salem's Lot) thrown in for good measure.

Notably absent: anything from The Dark Tower cycle. I mean, to be fair, they do have 'Low Men In Yellow Coats' listed in there (curiously, though, nothing from From A Buick 8, which would seem to be a great addition to a show like this), but I'll be curious to see what they do with that before getting excited. Chances are, it'll steer clear of whatever Sony's doing with The Dark Tower. Shame they couldn't all join forces, huh?

Anyway. What'd I miss? Watch the trailer again and lemme know in the space below.

Duddits Stephen King

Dreamcatcher is a 2001 science fictionhorror novel by American writer Stephen King, featuring elements of body horror, suspense and alien invasion. The book, written in cursive, helped the author recuperate from a 1999 car accident, and was completed in half a year. According to the author in his afterword, the working title was Cancer.^[1] His wife, Tabitha King, persuaded him to change the title. A film adaptation was released in 2003.

In 2014, King told Rolling Stone that 'I don't like Dreamcatcher very much,' and stated that the book was written under the influence of Oxycontin.^[2]

Plot summary[edit]

Set near the fictional town of Derry, Maine, Dreamcatcher is the story of four lifelong friends: Gary 'Jonesy' Jones, Pete Moore, Joe 'Beaver' Clarendon and Henry Devlin. As young teenagers, the four saved Douglas 'Duddits' Cavell, an older boy with Down syndrome, from a group of sadistic bullies. From their new friendship with Duddits, Jonesy, Beaver, Henry and Pete began to share the boy's unusual powers, including telepathy, shared dreaming, and seeing 'the line', a psychic trace left by the movement of human beings.

Duddits Stephen King Books

Jonesy, Beaver, Henry and Pete reunite for their annual hunting trip at the Hole-in-the-Wall, an isolated lodge in the Jefferson Tract. There, they become caught between an alien invasion and an insane US Army Colonel, Abraham Kurtz. Jonesy and Beaver, who remain at the cabin while Henry and Pete go out for supplies, encounter Richard McCarthy, a disoriented and delirious stranger wandering near the lodge during a blizzard talking about lights in the sky. The victim of an alien abduction, McCarthy grows sicker and dies while sitting on the toilet. An extraterrestrial parasite eats its way out of his body and attacks the two men, killing Beaver. Jonesy inhales the spores of the strange reddish fungus that the stranger and his parasite have spread around the cabin, and an alien entity ('Mr. Gray') takes over his mind.

On the return trip from their supply run, Henry and Pete encounter a woman from the same hunting party as the strange man at the cabin. She is also delirious and infected with a parasite. After crashing their car, Henry leaves Pete with the woman and attempts to regain the cabin by foot. From there, his telepathic senses let him know that Pete is in trouble, Beaver is dead, and Jonesy is no longer Jonesy. Mr. Gray, manipulating Jonesy's body, is attempting to leave the area. The aliens have attempted to infect Earth multiple times, beginning with the Roswell crash in the 1940s, but environmental factors have always stopped them, and the US government has covered up the failed invasion attempts every time. With the infection of Jonesy, who can contain the alien within his mind and also spread the infection, Mr. Gray has become the perfect Typhoid Mary—and he knows it.

It becomes up to Henry—by now a quarantined prisoner of the Army—to convince the military to go after Jonesy/Mr. Gray before it is too late. Jonesy himself, now a prisoner in his own mind, tries to help. Both of them are convinced that their old friend Duddits may be the key to saving the world.
