Bangor -
Stephen King fans enjoyed a spooky ride this weekend.
The Tommyknockers and More bus tour made its rounds on Sunday. Many of Stephen King's novels such as "Pet Cemetary" and "The Tommyknockers" take place in Bangor. Some of the stops include the Thomas Hill Standpipe, Mount Hope Cemetery, and of course, Stephen King's house.
Attendees got to see some of King's inspiration and also enjoy the fall foliage. One couple even came from New Jersey for the tour. Kathleen and Albert Segrest said, "We always wanted to come to Maine for the Fall, for the colors. Just always wanted to come and since my favorite author lives here we said 'Why not go to Bangor?'"
Sunday's tour was the last of the season.
