Of course, with how Salem’s Lot connects with other Stephen King stories, especially The Dark Tower, the Marsten House technically exists and is on the radar of the characters from that series once vampires become their concern.
In Stephen King’s novel, Salem’s Lot, the Marsten House is occupied by Kurt Barlow, the lead vampire of the community and he uses the building’s evil energy as a suitable hangout for his vampiric kind. It even contains allusions to “Jerusalem’s Lot”, the short story prequel to Salem’s Lot that is featured in Night Shift. It’s fascinating to see how Castle Rock takes characters from Stand by Me and Misery and has them interact with this famous location from Salem’s Lot. Merrill uses the Marsten House as the headquarters for his cult as he hypnotizes the citizens of Salem’s Lot and Castle Rock into becoming vessels.
Ace Merrill, a major character in both The Body ( Stand By Me) and Needful Things, is made the major conduit for ancient evil in Castle Rock’s second season.
