"There's blood in every backyard, inside every house." This summer, Hulu will take viewers to the hometown of horror, the place where Stephen King has set many of his stories over several decades. It's a place both beautiful and terrifying, and as the new teaser trailer for Castle Rock reveals, the wait won't be long (Wednesday, July 25th) for those eager to enter the town limits.
"Welcome to #CastleRock. From Stephen King & J.J. Abrams, the Hulu Original Series based on the #StephenKing universe premieres July 25.
A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland. The fictional Maine town of Castle Rock has figured prominently in King’s literary career: Cujo, The Dark Half, IT and Needful Things, as well as novella The Body and numerous short stories such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock. Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller — a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
