Stephen King is an American author who primarily writes horror novels and short stories. Among his most famous works are The Shining, Carrie and The Stand.
King appeared as himself in the episode "Insane Clown Poppy", signing autographs at the book convention. His works have also been referenced several times on The Simpsons:
- The Shining: The novel and the 1980 film have been referenced in "Treehouse of Horror", "Brother From The Same Planet" and "Treehouse of Horror V".
- The episode "The Blunder Years" references the film Stand By Me, which was based on the novella The Body by King.
- King's 2009 novel Under the Dome bore a clear plot similarity to The Simpsons Movie, although it was just a coincidence.[1]
King also plays in the band the Rock Bottom Remainders. Among the other members are Matt Groening, Mitch Albom and Amy Tan.[2]
