I'm watching this one currently for the first time. I can hardly stand the glory that is the soundtrack.
Any SK fan who has seen Fringe already knows there are SK references galore. Any who have not seen Fringe should give it a try. It is a fantastic show on its own. Plus you get to keep an eye out for all the SK nods.
Won't go into them all but who doesn't want to see

the concept of thinnies explored. Or a certain gigantic gleaming glass-green castle.
We've talked about this in another thread, but the (excellent) game Alan Wake has a heavy SK feel to it, was inspired by SK and starts with an SK quote. The game itself is a survival horror about a writer losing his mind in a small village in the forrest.
I believe ms. Mod said the company even sent Steve a copy but he never played it because he didn't own an Xbox360

Thank you, kind sir. I still can't remember, which means I have missed this episode - - which should be impossible, because I saw Friends when it aired, and I have been watching re-runs ever since. Almost daily.
Maybe it just isn't shown on your level of the Tower..........

I love Alan Wake. One of the only video games worthy of my attention.
One of my favorite shows, Supernatural, has had several SK references throughout the series. I usually wait until the show is out on DVD before I watch the new seasons, but from what I read, last night's episode had a reference to Thinner. Can't wait to see that! 
I know that his 'band' is referenced in an episode of the Simpsons, as well as this clip from a great Halloween episode...
Oh, year. There also's a show on the ID Network called !RedruM.

So does this mean you and your hubby will fly to Ohio this summer to attend the KingKon?GNT's posts make me laugh so much that I feel embarrassed. Like a giggling teenager!!
Just noticed a guard reading a copy of Night Shift in Orange is the New Black
You just made me remember that in Donnie Darko, the mom is shown lounging on a lawn chair in the yard reading a copy of It!
Donnie Darko is great! They also are seen screening The Evil Dead movie in the movie Donnie Darko. The Evil Dead was highly praised and supported by SK.
on Vampire Diaries last week, one of the characters mentioned pulling a "Carrie" at a college function and on Supernatural two weeks ago, "Thinner" was brought up.
From the other side of the pond:
Kate Bush wrote a song called Get Out of My House which was on her album The Dreaming (1982). She said it was inspired by the novel The Shining.
French and Saunders (Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders) did a pretty hilarious spoof of Misery on one of their shows. It's on YouTube.
