10Randall Flagg Was The Evil Force In Children Of The Corn

Randall Flagg’s evil might be felt across the Stephen King universe

Randall Flagg is a powerful sorcerer and devoted servant of the Outer Dark with supernatural abilities like sorcery and prophecy , and who has influence over animal and human behaviour . Flagg is considered the main adversary inStephen King ’s Macroverse , so it ’s not surprising that he ’s at the front and center of various theories . Among them is one that suggestsFlagg is “ He Who walk Behind the Rows ” , the immortal that the religious cult lead by Isaac Chroner worships .

The theory is based on the fact that Flagg has an affinity for Indian corn inThe Stand , and as he has taken different name and manakin throughout his history in this world , Flagg could have been the evil force out that trigger off the events ofChildren of the Corn , adding yet another series of horrible consequence to his long list of vicious deed .

9Maximum Overdrive Is A Prequel To Pixar’s Cars

When the Macroverse meets Pixar

Maximum Overdriveis based on King ’s myopic tarradiddle “ Trucks ” , and it ’s the only movie he has directed . In it , all car – trucks , monger machines , radios , etc – have become sentient after Earth crosses the rear of a comet , and they go on a global murder spree . The melodic theme of cars coming to life and killing citizenry has made mode for a possibility that suggestsMaximum Overdriveis a setup for Pixar’sCars . The hypothesis explicate that the machines inMaximum Overdriveeventually succeeded in their architectural plan of destroy humanity and taking over the human race , withCarsshowing the resultant role of their action . Carsgives a more lighthearted version of the world dominated by machines , butMaximum Overdriveshows the horrible issue that led to that .

Stephen King directed the comedy repulsion movie Maximum Overdrive in 1986 , but he has n’t directed another movie ever since – and here ’s why .

8IT’s Evil Reached Shawshank State Penitentiary

IT might not be limited to Derry

Another knock-down evil violence in King ’s Macroverse is IT , and this theory suggestsIT ’s evil went beyond Derry and arrive at Shawshank State Penitentiary . The Shawshank Redemptionfollows Andy Dufresne ( Tim Robbins ) and Ellis “ flushed ” Redding ( Morgan Freeman ) , two prisoner at Shawshank State Penitentiary face eternal sentences . Red explain that every time a new group of inmates arrives at Shawshank , there ’s at least one who breaks down and hysterically swears he ’s clean-handed . The possibility , then , explains that this is the result ofIT ’s influence , which could have driven these prisoners to commit horrible crimes , just as it did with Henry Bowers inIT . If truthful , this would mean that IT ’s power was corking than initially thought as it went beyond Derry ’s borders , and this entity also took joy in manipulating others into committing offence .

7The Green Mile’s John Coffey Is The Second Coming of Christ

John Coffey’s extraordinary abilities have some biblical influences

The Green Mileis the story of Paul Edgecomb ( Tom Hanks ) , a death course prison guard who witnesses supernatural events after the reaching of convict John Coffey ( Michael Clarke Duncan ) . Coffey had healing power that he used to cure Paul of a bladder infection , resurrect Del ’s pet mouse , and cure Warden Moore ’s wife of a brain neoplasm , but his pureness in the crime he was wrongfully charge of could n’t be evidence , and he was fulfil .

hold his extraordinary ability , John Coffey is theorize to have been the 2nd coming of Christ , with the author supporting this by pointing out that they both have “ JC ” initials , both are presented as ordinary people with abilities used for the benefit of others , both had a desire to give-up the ghost for the pain of others , and both cry out for heaven at the minute of their death . If John Coffeey was Jesus , his story is even more heartrending as he would have been destine to a tragic deathand to feel the pain of others , and he could n’t have been saved no matter how hard Paul tried .

6The Events Of The Shining Are In Wendy’s Head

Wendy Torrance might have been the main character

The Shiningfollows the Torrance family – Jack ( Jack Nicholson ) , Wendy ( Shelley Duvall ) , and Danny ( Danny Lloyd ) – who travel to the Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies after Jack takes a job as an off - season caretaker . After a snowstorm traps them in the hotel , the Torrances begin to be haunted by the hotel ’s supernatural force out , heightened by Danny ’s “ shining ” power . A hypothesis suggest thatthe appal events inThe Shiningare all in Wendy ’s headas she goes through psychotic episode due to past traumatic experiences and her fragile genial country . This explicate the “ continuity error ” throughoutThe Shiningand other strange effect in unlike scenes , but also means that Danny ’s “ shine ” is n’t real , which takes aside the essence ofThe Shining .

5Randall Flagg is Carrie White’s Father

Carrie White’s family background becomes more tragic & complex

Carrieis the story of Carrie White , a bullied in high spirits school girlfriend who is also abused at home by her extremely religious female parent , Margaret . A traumatic shoal incident triggersCarrie ’s telekinetic powers , which she afterwards uses to exact revenge on those who had done her wrong . Carrie ’s sire is n’t present in the books and movies , and what ’s cognise about him is that his name was Ralph White and was a structure actor . Ralph share Margaret ’s religious beliefs , but one dark , he got drunk and rap Margaret , resulting in the latter ’s pregnancy . Shortly after Carrie was born , Ralph was down in a building stroke , but that might have not been the truth .

A theory suggestsRalph White was one of Randal Flagg ’s many identitiesin King ’s universe . In the novelCarrie , Margaret is mention to have “ combat The Black Man and vanquished him ” , driving him from the front door with a broom and him fleeing up the street with “ his cloven foundation strike red sparks on the cement ” . This has been translate as Flagg ’s signature cowboy boots , and as Flagg is the incarnation of evilness , it ’s not surprising that Margaret would have seen him as the devil . This would explain why Carrie ’s baron were so warm and destructive and why Margaret was so fell to Carrie , as she was the devil ’s girl .

4David’s Son Had To Die To Save Everyone In The Mist

The Mist’s biggest tragedy might have been inevitable

The Mistfollows the residents of a small Ithiel Town in Maine who , after a terrible electric storm , are trapped by an unnatural mist concealing monsters . Throughout the chaos , the extremely spiritual Mrs. Carmody ( Marcia Gay Harden ) gains a humble followers after surviving the onrush of louse from the mist by pray , and suggests that a human forfeiture must be made to appease the monsters – and she points at David ’s ( Thomas Jane ) son , Billy .

Mrs. Carmody might have been right , and Billy had to die to salve the town from the mist .

3IT Is Behind The Events In The Shining

IT might be a lot more powerful than initially believed

As observe above , IT ’s immorality might have not been hold back in Derry , and another theory suggestsIT was responsible for for the repugnance ofThe Shining . IT might have controlled Jack and drive him to kill Wendy and Dannyin the same elbow room it manipulated Henry Bowers inIT , and the ghost of Grady was also IT ( like the specter of Belch that appeared to grownup Henry ) . harmonize to the theory , the reason why IT used Jack and Henry to kill others is because IT have it off how severe it can be to go after those with the “ refulgency ” , evoke that the Losers Club also had this ability , to an extent .

2Matilda Wormwood Is Carrie White

Matilda might have not gotten a happy ending, after all

The similarities between Roald Dahl ’s Matilda Wormwood and Stephen King ’s Carrie White made way for atheory that suggestsMatildais a prequel toCarrie . In rescript to start a new lifetime far off from all their painful retentivity , Matilda and Miss Honey move to Maine and changed their names to Carrietta and Margaret White . However , Miss Honey was unable to subdue her trauma and see recourse in religion , becoming a religious fanatic and get Matilda to become diffident , insecure , and her world power to go abeyant , and the rest is history . Thisadds to the disaster of Carrie White while also throw a dark and grievous wrench to Matilda ’s glad closing .

1Randall Flagg & IT Are The Same

Stephen King has endorsed this theory

A theorysupported by Stephen King himselfsays thatRandall Flagg and IT are the same entity . What brings these two fiber together are their immense mightiness , evil nature , ability to take any form they desire , and their mien triggering topsy-turvyness and tragedy . Flagg and IT have been on Earth for many years , and both are reckon the embodiment of immorality , so it ’s potential that they could be the same character . This would mean that the biggest tragedies in the Macroverse have been because of one undivided entity , and its power and iniquity might be badly underestimated as it can reach any box and mess with whoever it pleases .
