Version 1:
1981 - Cat's Eye
1981 - Cujo
1981 - Castle Rock: Friday the 13th (The Dog) [slightly contradicts the movie]

Version 2:
1981 - Castle Rock: Friday the 13th (The Dog) [would be about a different Saint Bernard dog named Cujo owned by a Chambers family?)
1985 - Cat's Eye
1985 - Cujo

This newspaper in Castle Rock also contradicts the Cujo movie, unfortunately. At least it's easy to ignore it.

There's three victims in the movie, not four like here and in the book. Tad Trenton is said to have died here but he lived in the film version.

Unless there's two Chambers families

 

[Pro Bot]

Two families, two Tads, two Cujos, two Saint Bernards?

 

[Pro Bot]

You gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.

 

[iceman109]

Sort of like how there's multiple Draculas and John Harkers in the Universal Monsters Universe

 

[Pro Bot]

Oh, another thing, the Cujo book released in 1981 but took place in 1980 (from my understanding). That short video is a deviation from that since it explicitly places itself in 1981.

 

[FruityWho50]

Well if the cujo reference in castle rock references events closer to the book than the film adaptation that wouldn't make it canon would it?

@FruityWho50

In Cat's Eye, both Cujo and Christine appear. Christine has a new licence plate, so maybe that's why the old one was seen in IT Chapter Two.

The problem with Cujo is that it is connected to Cat's Eye which is connected to Christine.

Apparently Christine in 11.22.63 is literally the same car from Christine. 11.22.63 should definitely be canon.

1963 - 11.22.63 1x08
1994 - The Stand 1x01-1x04
2017 - The Dark Tower

By literally the same car, I mean they retrieved the exact same car used in the film for it. It was the last remaining car that wasn't destroyed.


Also, why is no one including the Castle Rock shorts on their lists???

Lewis Teague - Wikipedia

Cat's Eye is also by the same director as Cujo.

 

[Pro Bot]

I think the problem is Castle Rock is connected to Christine, which is connected to Cat's Eye, which is connected to Cujo, but Castle Rock actually doesn't connect to Cujo.

Cujo has to be connected despite the fact that it isn't connected.

The actress for Annie Wilkes in Castle Rock implied that her version is the younger incarnation of the movie character despite that movie releasing in 1990 and being set at that time - seemingly it was retconned. I believe that one of the protagonist's books from exclusively the movie appears in season 2, but honestly I'm not sure if I'm misremembering the details. It had a different cover, anyway.

"You have a protagonist who is a very unreliable narrator," the actress says. "That gives us a lot more freedom."

Am I the only one who thinks that Annie Wilkes being said to be the younger version of the film character makes the film canon? I mean, the fictional Misery's Love book comes exclusively from the film adaptation and it's in Castle Rock.

Misery Chastain

Misery Chastain is a fictional character in a successful series of romance novels, created by author Paul Sheldon. The books about Misery are set in Victorian-era England, and Annie Wilkes claims there are eight of them. The books center around a love triangle involving Misery as well as two...

Yes, this means Misery is set in the future... however, what issues does that actually cause continuity-wise? I've seen the movie and I don't think it's particularly important to set it in 1990. Paul uses a typewriter instead of a computer, yes, but maybe he's old-fashioned or it makes him be more careful with his writings.
