Note the references to Pennywise the Clown, Danny Torrance, and all the famous characters of Stephen King’s novels. Castle Rock is the name of a fictional Maine town that often appears in King’s novels.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will weave together characters from King’s novels that mention Castle Rock. Each season will follow a different storyline and set of characters, while there will be mentions to characters and themes from other seasons. It kind of sounds a bit like American Horror Story, yet doubly terrifying because Stephen King, the master of horror, is involved.

Stephen King named the town Castle Rock as an homage to Lord of the Flies. (That disturbing book we all had to read in high school. You know, the one about shipwrecked kids killing each other.) The town shows up in masterpieces such as Cujo, The Body, Uncle Otto’s Truck, It Grows On You, The Sun Dog, The Dark Half…and the list continues.

Basically, get ready to be terrified.
