A Hidden Reference Makes One Stephen King Horror Movie Even Scarier

A Hidden Reference Makes One Stephen King Horror Movie Even Scarier

Both the book and Gerald’s Game movie allude to supernatural happenings by connecting Jessie to Dolores Claiborne via what seems like unexplained telepathy. However, this connection is decidedly less unsettling. Jessie’s communication with Dolores has a positive effect on both women, as the two abuse survivors can find strength and solidarity in their shared trauma. In contrast, the creepy line “all things serve the beam” implies that much like Dolores and Jessie can support each other in times of need through paranormal means, the monstrous supernatural forces at work in King’s universe are also able to converge when there is human fear to feed on.

Fortunately for Jessie, she doesn’t encounter It’s child-eating Pennywise, Flagg, or Dandelo during her ordeal. She does come across the terrifying Raymond Andrew Joubert, dubbed the “man made of moonlight” in the movie’s version of the story. However, as intimidating a figure as he is, Joubert is very much mortal and human, with Jessie even meeting the Stephen King villain in court during the ending of Gerald’s Game and being surprised to discover he is just a person. Thus, the Stephen King Easter egg that implies Gerald’s Game involves some supernatural evil remains just a tease, but it’s still a deeply creepy touch that makes the adaptation all the scarier.
