Here’s Every Stephen King Cameo in a King Adaptation!
“This machine just called me an asshole!”
Countless Stephen King stories have been brought to screens both big and small over the years, with countless more currently on the way, and many of them share one thing in common: cameos from the King himself!
Dating back to 1982’s Creepshow, wherein King played the main character in one of the George Romero-directed segments, King has been making fun appearances in adaptations of his own work for many years now – and now that King adaptations are once again the hottest thing in town, we expect that we haven’t seen the last of those cameos. In fact, it’s already been confirmed that King will pop up in the TV series “Mr. Mercedes,” headed to the AT&T Audience Network on August 9th!
From playing a minister in Pet Sematary to the ghost of a band conductor (whose name happens to be Gage Creed!) in “The Shining” mini-series, we wanted to put together all of Stephen King’s cameos in adaptations of his own work from the early 1980s straight through to the present day.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
