This is epic. I adore Stephen King's writings. But the frog is more for his wife because she likes to collect frog related things.

[@orb938gmail.]

🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 Big shout out to all the frog collectors.

[@lorrainedaniels1238]

Tabitha King is also a children’s book author

[@crystalhatter889]

But he does have a short story about frogs with needle like teeth. 🐸

[@orb938gmail.]

@@crystalhatter889 interesting .

[@flashhughes1675]

I loved Stephen King's Rose Red. That was one fantastic, haunted house miniseries. Totally underrated in my opinion.

[@debi1451]

Yup. And King had a cameo as a delivery person in that series! . Stephen King Rocks!.

[@advlandvideo]

I agree. Grimm Life Collective has a video on here of the mansion that served as Rose Red. Well worth watching in my opinion.

[@dontcrybean]

Kingdom hospital was a banger❤

[@RichardM1366]

I do too. There is nothing like a good haunted house story.

[@sues8657]

The Corgi carved into the base of King’s tree sculpture just melted my heart!!! He calls his Corgi “The Thing of Evil”!

[@WeNameTheStars]

I met Stephen King once, he was working the food stand at a high school baseball game between my high school and I believe John Bapst, I was standing in line for a hotdog when everyone started taking the foul balls and running over to the food stand for him to autograph, he politely told them he wouldn’t and to please return the balls back to the team, he then handed me my hotdog with a smile 😅 Thanks again Jacob for letting me live vicariously back in my home state for a moment and please have a Moxie and a whoopie pie for me 😅

[@happyzombiikitti]

Im a huge horror fan, and grew up in New England. The entire northern east coast is spooky, and some graveyards are as old as the pilgrims. There’s even graveyards up here in the northern boonies in random places like close to someone’s yard or a road. They buried people where they found them (mostly in the winter/harsh times) The same could be said about people touring the Salem cemeteries around the witch tours. I am just so used to it living here hearing bout our creepy cemeteries that it’s just become folklore in itself. As a New England goth kid.. there was nothing more beautiful than a cemetery in the fall 😂

[@allensherrill850]

While in Bangor, I noticed a red balloon 🎈 following you.

[@alliekuma4234]

I think touring cemeteries is okay as long as the groups are respectful. I think people just get upset because they are trying to mourn in peace and are unable to due to tours like that. That woman was definitely going through something because if she was all about respect she wouldn't be screaming like that. Seeing the drain was super fascinating as we got a glimpse into Stephen's mind and what he could have possibly been thinking when he saw it. I know I get inspired by strange things like that too. I appreciate this video. Thank you!

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I feel bad for stephen king, who will never be able to have an ounce of peace for the rest of his life. he'll always have people coming to his house to film it.

[@JBro9091]

This is great! I started reading Stephen King novels when I was 11 - starting with The Dead Zone and Pet Semetary. My teachers were confused but delighted and put me in an advanced reading program. I don't think that would happen in the modern day!

[@typist5productions151]

You are such an absolute pleasure to watch Jacob. I love how respectful you are in your videos. All my best.

[@mikehughes4969]

Stephen King himself has described his books as "the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries from McDonald's" but I think he's selling himself short. He is by far my favorite living writer, and I think he has a brilliance that is overlooked because of how popular he is. It, the Stand, Cujo, Firestarter and Cycle of the Werewolf are all favorites of mine, and Pet Cemetery is the only book of his that I never finished because of how incredibly creeped out I got while reading it. My personal favorite is Eyes of the Dragon, as it's pure fantasy and you can't forget Misery, Gerald's Game, 11/22/63, and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, the latter of which is almost completely overlooked. As always, well done and safe travels my friend.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Cool Jacob doing the Stephen King stuff, i saw what the house looks like on Grimmslife collective. They love anything spooky haunted places. Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe my friend.🤓📸

[@iwantmyvanback]

Ooh, great video. My favorite King story will always be The Green Mile. It's so good

[@judycogan5348]

Can't pick just one book, they are ALL great. Do agree the stand was very good. Steven is the best!

[@SilverWolfAdventures]

I agree with you that touring cemeteries is ok as long as you’re respectful. The residents don’t mind; it’s the living that make an issue about it. Thanks for sharing the sights with us!

[@CMDDK]

I highly recommend audible or something like that where you can listen to a book while driving. I enjoy listening to books while driving.

[@juanzapata492]

It’s very complicated; when you are mourning someone at a cemetery and you have someone making videos then the person might get angry or if is far away from the grave then they might not care

[@SidebarAndChill]

Bangor is just a great town to drive around in. Just something about it. Love seeing down town (and bless your soul for BANG-GORE.. lol)

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Stephen King's house is awesome! My favorite books are The Shining, IT, Carrie, and The Stand.

[@tat2titan]

Very cool! My fav Steven King noval is, The Talisman.

[@paulram4210]

My family and I love his work so much that we actually made our own halloween tombstones and displays based on his horror books and movies!!

[@tinyworldcreations]

Maybe you could listen to audio books while you are on the road. You could go through a good amount of books on all your travels

[@laurie8868]

Visiting grave sites, memorials etc. reminds us of our own mortality. This may have been fresh on the mind of that woman. I'm glad you understood her pain. We cannot and should not change how we explore our world (as long as we do so respectfully). There will always be conflicting points of view.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

yeah and it's too bad so many people have to visit this man's house while he still is with us. I bet he'll never feel at peace for the rest of his life.

[@ReturnForRefund]

I got to visit the set when they filmed the new IT. Port hope ontario was used as derry. One of my friends built the house for that movie.

[@bkpass2992]

My dad and brother went to one of King's book readings in Bangor in the mid 90s, and at the end King placed a "curse" on the audience. Must have been real because my dads van broke down on the way home. 😂 I always have to laugh at that one.

[@7thangelad586]

The short story Rainy Season is actually about frogs ;) I love his short story collections as much as I enjoy the full-length novels! I think It is my favorite, but I enjoy all of his novels from the 70s-90s. I don’t think I bathed properly for a year or two after watching It as a ten year old! Hemingford Home was the town where the good guys gathered in The Stand.

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

The Stand is one of my favorite books of all-time. The good people all go to Boulder, Colorado, by the way. I love the original 90s miniseries with Rob Lowe, Gary Sinise, and Molly Ringwold, but CBS did a new version a year or two (or 5 years, time is weird, lol) ago that was also good.

[@gc4644]

And the guy that played Mr. Hand on Fast Times was also in it!

[@oregontrailgenxer]

loved the stand, under the dome and rose red!

[@genageeraert8039]

I believe the logging tool is a cant or peavey hook. It’s used to separate logs in the water. My great uncle Stan used to work the logs on the Fraser river in British Columbia. Unfortunately he passed when he got caught under a log jam. This has to be one of my favourite videos. I love Stephen King. It is my all time favourite book.

[@mamacookie4948]

Steven King is my favorite author and my favorite book would have to be "It" so far I haven't read all of his books yet but I'm getting there. I'm currently reading "Finders Keepers". All his books and original movies are great though.

[@jmorgan5252]

Salem's Lot is my favorite of all King's writings

[@merle411]

The it miniseries was filmed in Vancouver in the 90's, you can still visit the storm drain that it appears in and see where they took apart the side walk to be able to put an actor down in the drain.

[@twanagilles1756]

I am a huge fan of Stephen King. I have lost count on how many books I own and have read. My personal favorites are the Mr. Mercedes trilogy. All three books did not disappoint.

[@debragalvez2891]

Favorite - The Stand. Plus many more. Love that carving in the yard. Someone is very talented.

[@57Banjoman]

The logging tool is a Pike Pole, used for handling logs-thanks for a great video as always, Jacob!

[@JacobLHooper]

Favorite King book without a doubt is IT. An epic story that is about so much more than just a clown. The audiobook narrated by Steven Weber is a masterpiece. The Stand is probably my second favorite.

[@clintwilliams3818]

Is that audiobook really that good? I was interested to get it. I own and love the original miniseries dvd, but then saw the audiobook was about 40-something hours if i remember correctly.

[@nearandfarexplorers5125]

It looks like I got my wish. Love these Maine videos

[@stephanienocera8922]

This is so neat! I wanted to stop there when we went to Maine, but didn’t get the chance. I love Stephen King. Needful Things was one of my favorites!

[@jpab1977]

You are my favorite KZbinr!!!! I always look forward to your posts. I've watched everyone off your videos!!!!!

[@terranceolive6792]

I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and have read all of his books and will watch any of his movies which I have most on DVD

[@NeonVacation]

This is now one of my favorite videos of yours Thank You. I'm going through New England areas in less then 2 weeks and can't wait to see those sites in person. Grest info Jacob.....😊

[@mikef.2951]

Older the cemetery, the better. Lot of history in cemeteries.

[@ck2d]

Absolutely the standpipe inspired It. I went up it and the view is phenomenal. You can see both Mt Washington and Mt Katahdin. And I got to see into the resevoir. Creepy af. But looking up, that sealed it. There is no ceiling, just the intricate iron rafters, painted white, holding up the roof. It looks like a giant spiderweb. It's nearly a hallowed space. I felt the same sort of chilled awe when I walked into the Long Room library at Trinity College in Dublin, a feeling of how can this be real.

[@briancampbell2914]

I remember how he released The Green Mile. It was released chapter by chapter in little books. I used to have the collection

[@laurag-oe9xo]

I remember that too. So you had to wait for the next one. I believe there was a cliff hanger about him not being able to tie his shoes.

[@nataliecrow6533]

I remember Pet Cemetery commercials & the cat with the glowing eyes 😂

[@Breegan]

One of my favorite books by Stephen King, that a lot of people don’t know, is The Body, which if you’ve seen Stand By Me with River Phoenix and Wil Wheaton follows that story - but of course the movie was based on the book. It’s really interesting.

[@ilanarhian]

I remember my cousin lived in Maine and she said Bangor was weird so she wasn’t surprised he came from there! I gather he mainly lives in Florida now though and I think I heard they were going to use the house for writing courses or something.

[@CarolinConnecticut]

Mr. King spends his summers in Lovell, ME (snowbirds in FL). The Kings own the house next door as well, and it is supposed to be turned into a writer's retreat. His book On Writing is my favorite as it was lovely to discover another human being as inspired by Strunk & White's Elements of Style.

[@suemoo22]

Another great book and movie is Storm of the Century.

[@mikelx79]

Love Stephen King! My favorite of his is The Dark Tower series. Loved The Stand as well. Just finished Fairy Tale, really enjoyed it.

[@Sumermak]

Dark tower is his best! ❤I liked fairytale also

[@crazybird9745]

Hey Jacob! You should check out "Old Thereshers" in mount pleasant, Iowa. It's like a fair, old west town, trade show and more. Its only open labor day weekend every year. I guarentee you haven't been to anything like it

[@DS-ky9dl]

Thanks Jacob for the great tour. I also am a Stephen King fan and I think Cujo is my favorite book. See ya next time.

[@JoAnnGoldenberg]

I was just in Bangor last week. We took the SK tour and thought they did a fantastic job. I learned a lot! Highly recommend!!

[@gillygillyyt55]

Brilliant Jacob. Really enjoyed that 👌🇬🇧

[@leanneking1871]

My most favourite book, not just of Stephen King's, is Pet Sematary!! It is amazing!! I adore Stephen King! 🎈

[@IKtheTroll]

Might I recommend listening to audiobooks while you are on the road? That’s been a blessing for me.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

I liked the mini series really cool he actually filmed at the real hotel. I think some of it was simply the length of it. People have increasingly short attraction spans, for example tik tok.

[@thehertzman]

The Stephen King books I read was Cycle of the Werewolf(Silver Bullet), The Dragon’s Eye, Misery and The Regulators when he was credited as Richard Bachman.

[@nickolaseaton4890]

The best Stephen King stories are the Dark Tower series.

[@Sumermak]

💯 ❤

[@Thecorgially]

Super vlog. Loved his house and the full tour. I will ck out to see "It". I saw Pet Cemetery and some of the mini series on TV. Gifted and still alive.

[@paulfuryes203]

Lobe stephen king my favorite is it great video jacob safe travels my friend

[@haylestormable]

I live about 20 minutes away from his house :) can't believe you're visiting us the day we're coming back from Detroit, we come up to Bangor often. I heard his house was made into a museum, but not sure since I never see anyone go past the gate. Him and his wife used to have open houses where they'd invite everyone in and do read aloud, but they stopped when people started stealing their stuff. And yeah there were red balloons tied to the gate when the new IT premiered. I'm glad you went to the bookstore in town, you should have seen the displays when they had the green mile and the shining. They once had one for IT with pennywise reaching out of the drain (I believe I have pictures somewhere if anyone wants to see). One thing with the mt.hope cemetery worth mentioning is that Charlie Howard is buried there, he was the victim of the state's worst hate crime- he got thrown over the bridge over on state street despite not being able to swim and he drowned.... All because he was gay. The bridge has been dubbed "Chuckahomo", I'm not even beginning to joke here. You can find his memorial by the bridge, and the incident was mentioned in IT part 2.

[@syedhamidi5643]

I love how honest james to his sister 😂

[@tickledpnk85]

My favorite author ever❤❤❤

[@Ashley-ku7is]

Stephen King is my favorite author. My favorite piece by him, and screen adaptation, is The Mist.

[@the13throse]

"Christine" is my personal favorite King story! I've also read Pet Sematary, The Shining, and The Green Mile. There's much more on my reading list that I haven't gotten around to yet, but I've loved all the ones I've read so far.

[@marzipannie5475]

We love Stephen King! It rains toads in “the Rainy Season” which is a short story he wrote.

[@marvart4536]

Pet Sematary, "come on Doc, we don't got all day" The sister scared the heck out of me, still makes the hair on my neck stand up. Yes, it was a man.

[@crissytracy8517]

My favorite Stephen King movie is The Stand. I think the cat carving is to represent Pet Cemetery.

[@thomasholt6897]

There is a collection called the Bachman Books. A lot of great short stories. My favorite.

[@jamielmurdoch]

Hi Jacob. In Nightmares and Dreamscapes, there was a short story called Rainy Season where it rains carnivorous toads that can eat through wood to get to you. That is the only scary story with toads or frogs that I can remember. One of the best stories is Dolan's Cadillac. Not the movie, but the story. It, Pet Semetary, Joyland, The Stand, Needful Things, and others. There are so many good stories. I don't have a lot of time, so I use audio books when on the road. It's a great way to kill time. I have been a Stephen King fan since I was 16 and read my first book Carrie.

[@Raydawggie]

There are a lot of cemeteries that are in a sort of grey area when it comes to being tourist attractions. I know if a celebrity is buried somewhere, that cemetery will get a lot of traffic. So I think as long as people aren't being jerks about it and acting disruptive, it's fine for people to visit open cemeteries to see unique things.

[@johnrogers6291]

The Talisman was one of King’s best, in my opinion.

[@Sumermak]

My favorite writer. His best work is the Dark Tower series. Amazing!

[@racheldelgado277]

Loved this vlog. The Paul Bunyans were very interesting. Here in San Antonio, we had a giant Indian Chief that was recently dismantled. It had been the mascot of a car dealership for many years. The new dealership deemed it inappropriate.

[@suehurrell134]

I am a HUGE SK fan. I particularly liked Needleful Things which was also a film. Desperation is also a good one. I have every book and love most of them. Misery also a film. I hope you get a chance to read more. The Mr Mercedes series I awesome. It took me years to realise that there are nods to his different books in all of his works!! Jacob you would love the Black Tower series if you loved The Stand. ❤❤ from a UK fan x

[@Sumermak]

Dark tower you mean

[@ilikecomicstoareallyproble8617]

The Standpipe scene was legitimately one of the only times Stephen King has ever scared me, I still get the willies reading that book.

[@MelikhaCreated]

Your daughters experience with the idea of IT was exactly my same reaction as a kid! I've pretty much gotten over my fear of clowns but I'm over 40 years old and it took me this long to get over it 😆

[@junekramer1]

The tommyknockers and the shining are my faves!

[@katm5903]

I've only ever rode by his house once. So cool to see this!

[@JohnKelly2]

"The Outsiders" was filmed in Tulsa, where it was set. The upcoming movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" was filmed in Osage County, OK, though they moved some of the towns around.

[@Geneswagger]

The Green Mile is amazing.

[@wingflex5367]

I enjoyed The Langoliers and Storm of the Century :)

[@XavierGaming-gy2nh]

Hello Carpetbagger I hope your having a great day today, I don't know in you do hiking or not but whenever you have a chance while your in New England you should visit the Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park int he White Mountains in New Hampshire, I went there this summer and I thought it was awsome, they have a little cave there that I can climbed through called Wolfs Dean, and there's also a another place near Franconia Notch State Park called Lost River Gorge in North Woodstock NH, just an idea for you but I really like your videos and I you a great time so far in New England👍

[@cindiballer2939]

Thanks!

[@clay92382]

So jealous! Wonderful video! Safe travels. If you ever come through Indianapolis there's an INCREDIBLE, unique, amazing German restaurant you MUST see! The food is delicious--only topped by the INSANELY Kitschy decor: Heidelberg Haus.

[@linkedLisa]

Great review of S. King and Bangor Me. Two movies filmed where they take place Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Perfect Storm

[@crazylarry1959]

Hello jacob the short story rainy season is about frogs love your channel take care Larry from valley stream.ny on long island

[@angelajones3131]

I saw on one Stephen King fan page that he said the frog was given to him by the publisher for Duma Key. Also the white home right next door is his too. His own personal library. I started reading Stephen King at age nine. Carrie is my favorite but also the girl who loved Tom Gordon.

[@jacobkrug]

I love this video iv'e always wanted to see those things

[@gratitudejunkie]

Welcome to Bangor!! Twice a year, during Fall and Spring. they open the Standpipe and let us go to the top and view Bangor. My Father's apartment was right there on Jackson Street, the one with the lattice on the front porch. God rest his soul, he is no longer with us. Glad you came to Bangor, enjoy your time. Go to Bar Harbor if you're still here.

[@TravelZombie]

All of the One Chicago shows, as well as the Hulu series The Bear, are actually shot in Chicago. Most of the interiors are filmed on soundstage, but even those are in Chicago.

[@ChristineARose]

Many years ago, I drove by the King residence. It was a dark, chilly and stormy day. The road was deserted. I think that had it been all bright and cheerful like it was for you, it just wouldn't have had the same errr, "impact". Honestly, that day it was pretty creepy lol. Many of King's books take place in or very near Derry (Bangor), and the characters of many different stories make cameos in others. Did you go eat at Dysart's? It was featured in Dreamcatcher (the book for sure). I've eaten there. Was great. *I also enjoyed The Governor's Restaurants while out and about in ME

[@crystalhatter889]

The good people gather in Hemingford Home and later on to Boulder Colorado. I love his books! Currently re-reading Under the Dome. 🤓

[@NeonVacation]

I thought King moved out and turned that house into an archive and the house next door into a writers retreat. 🙂

[@bkpass2992]

He did. He lives in Florida now.

[@rachaelc2007]

As long as the tourists are respective, i don’t see a problem with touring cemeteries. I love exploring old cemeteries.

[@laurag-oe9xo]

The tower designed by Ashley Tower made me think of Shweitzer Falls named after Albert Falls. 😂

[@miss-fortune1991]

Rainy Season is a short horror story by Stephen King, When the "rain" starts, the couple learns the nature of the precipitation: an army of grotesque black toads the size of footballs, armed with needle-sharp teeth and able to chew through doors and walls. i love cujo carrie and many more

[@alianningson3829]

I live 90 minutes away just into Canada. So, I have been to Bangor many times. It's a great city. I have seen Stephen King around a couple of times in ordinary places like the gas station and Denny's.

[@silverghostcat1924]

When I read The Stand and got to the part where the virus escaped the lab, it was the exact date in the book!! First thing I did was look at the clock to see what time it was 🤣. That was kinda spooky. What are the odds?

[@anitahedgecock1968]

Paul Bunion 's tool is called a A Cant hook used for rolling logs 😊
