Here’s a running list of all the Stephen King Easter eggs hidden throughout Castle Rock that we found.
Alan Pangborn The only character directly taken from King’s books to appear so far on Castle Rock is Alan Pangborn, who was the sheriff of Castle Rock, Maine, in The Dark Half and Needful Things.
Hulu’s new series Castle Rock is set in the “Stephen King multiverse,” which means that while it’s not an adaptation of any Stephen King story, it’s connected to a whole bunch of them, not unlike how King references his other stories in his fiction.
ShawshankMuch of the action of Castle Rock revolves around Shawshank Prison, which you know from The Shawshank Redemption.
