The haunting true story of a gay man's murder that inspired Stephen King's 'It'
On July 7th, 1984, three teenagers in Bangor, Maine, killed Charlie Howard for being gay. The crime shocked many in Bangor, including Stephen King, the town's most famous resident. King moved his family to Bangor in 1980 to write his horror novel It. Later, he recognized the horror of the murder of Charlie Howard and memorialized it in the second chapter of It. The trio of killers—Jim Baines (15), Shawn Mabry (16), and Daniel Ness (17)—killed Charlie during a festival celebrating Bangor's sesquicentennial and America's Independence Day. While King's novel featured an evil and murderous clown, King refused to let Bangor off the hook for killing Charlie. "It was this town," a witness to the murder tells the police in the novel.
