Stephen King appeared at a book convention in [[Springfield]]. [[Marge Simpson]] went up to his table, and, making conversation, asked King what "tale of horror and the macabre" he was working on.

As King described his biography-in-progress, his voice grew more menacing until he finished by saying, "And that key he tied to a kite? It opened the gates of Hell!" After King was finished, Marge asked King to let her know when he got back to writing horror.
