Does anyone think that Misery and The Shining exist in the same universe?
The film Misery mentions about The "guy who went mad in a hotel nearby" The Shining movie is suppose to be set in Colorado like Misery the movie. So do you think they are actually connected in the same universe?
Yes. In the novel Annie and Paul discuss a former victim of hers who was an artist and wanted to draw the place the Overlook hotel used to be before the "janitor got mad and burnt down the place".
shareExactly, i love it when King does that. The best part was when in 22/11/63 the main character is meeting Beverly from IT just a few months after they killed IT.
shareYou mean the rope skipping kids Jake/George encounters in Derry: Bevvie from the Levy & Ritchie from the Ditch-y? That was her?
shareWHAT?!
wait who was this? The couple who dances?
Yeah, Stephen King stories are connected like that. In his story, The Library Policeman, a librarian says this: "Naomi is a regular. She borrows a great many romance novels - Jennifer Blake, Rosemary Rogers, Paul Sheldon, people like that.' She lowered her voice and said, 'She says they're for her mother, but actually I think she reads them herself."
shareI love it when Stephen King does this too!
At the beginning of "Rose Madder", Rose reads "Misery's Journey" by Paul S.
Norris Ridgewick from "Needful Things" has a cameo at the end of "Bag of Bones" (book, not movie).
A character even asks Norris how Alan Pangborn and Polly Chalmers (hero/heroine from "Needful Things") are doing. :-)

Dolores Claiborne from the book of the same name and Jessie Burlingame from "Gerald's Game" have quasi-out of body experiences where they both see each other in their minds during the solar eclipse of the summer of 1963.

You know since they are doing monster movies connected. Why not reboot these movies and connect them before the dark tower begins.
shareWhich part do they mention the hotel?
shareThere is a connection between books in "The Tommyknockers" One of the characters is driving through Derry and thinks he sees a clown in the sewer.
