Haven and Stephen King References

Syfy's original series Haven, which is based off of his novel "The Colorado Kid" is full of references to the horror master. Some samples of this such as in last weeks episode "Audrey's Day Off" is Anson Shumway. Shumway the troubled person in this episodes was named after Julia Shumway, one of the main characters in Stephen King's novel "Under the Dome." Both characters play a critical role in the resolution.

In the episode titled "Roots", the trouble involves plants coming to life and killing people. This was inspired by Stephen King's short story "Weeds" also known as "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill." The Verrill story was a segment of the Stephen King and George Romero film "Creepshow."

One more example was the episode "Sparks and Recreation." Like Chris Brody in this episode, Stephen King also coached a little league team, including a team with his son Owen on it, and winning a Maine state title. In addition to that, One of the two Haven baseball teams, the "Sea Dogs," is named after the character of the same name, Sea Dog, in Stephen King's "Under the Dome."

So now that you know, it gives you something else to watch for during the show, not that it's not entertaining enough already. The only thing else to watch for is Stephen himself showing up in the show, not that anything has been said about him doing so, but why not. When it comes to Haven you never know what might happen.

That's right Jason Priestly has joined the cast of Syfy's Haven. Priestly plays the role of Chris, who has now become the most loved man in Haven, since his father's death in episode 4 of season 2. Most people would love the idea that every person that laid eyes on them would fawn over them, but not Chris. He hates people. Well all but one, Audrey. But who can blame him, after all she is pretty, sweet, compassionate, and completely immune to his gift (or curse). Will their love bloom, or wither? Only the next episode will tell.

Haven

Here is another must see TV show, if you haven't already. Haven a Syfy original series, based off of Stephen King's The Colorado Kid, is now in it's second season. In a small Maine town, normal life is a little bit different, and these people know how to keep a secret. Strange things happen in Haven, troubling things, and it all seems to revolve around a man found dead years before, and a young woman by the name of Lucy. This second season dives in deep, as the plot thickens and twists with the addition of some new characters. This is one show that you need to see from the beginning, so if you haven't seen it, go rent season one, or down load it, whatever you have to do, but don't miss this dramatic thriller.
