The first film adaptation of a Stephen King story to make reference to Castle Rock was Stand by Me (an adaptation of King's novella "The Body"), although that film's Castle Rock was moved to the state of Oregon. Rob Reiner, the film's director, later named his production company Castle Rock Entertainment. This company has produced several subsequent adaptations of King's work.

In the film adaptation of "The Mist", David Drayton reads a newspaper called The Castle Rock Times.

Famous quotes containing the words works, referring, castle and/or rock:

    “Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Meanwhile Snow White held court,
    rolling her china-blue doll eyes open and shut
    and sometimes referring to her mirror
    as women do.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?”
    —William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

    “The Wind begun to rock the Grass
    With threatening Tunes and low—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
