Im hoping to start compiling a master list of Stephen King's Easter Eggs. What an Easter Egg is, in Mr King's case, is an intentional reference, theme, or recurring theme that signifies something greater than the story itself. Its one of Stephen King's attributes that I admire the most because a story is no longer a linear "Once Upon a Time.... " to "..and they lived happily ever after" because there are extra dimensions and tangeants that tie it to other stories in a much larger creative universe.
I usually look for Easter Eggs in Mr King's books passively, but I have come across many many so far, that Ive already forgotten some that I figure I need to start now
So far, I remember these:
October 9 - The set date for grand opening of the "Needful Things" store. October is the tenth month and the Ninth day of the month: 10 + 9 = 19
Clock reading "Four past Midnight" - Well played, Mr. King...Well played
Cujo - Is mentioned in this book
Alan Pangborn - Was also a character in The Dark Half
I know there will be more so I'm just posting these before I forget
