Trivia: "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" and "The Crate" were both based on stories Stephen King had previously written and published. (The original title of the Jordy Verrill segment was "Weeds.") The other segments, "Father's Day," "Something to Tide You Over," and "They're Creeping Up on You" were originals written specifically for the film by King.
Question: I heard that the marble ashtray that Bedelia uses to kill her father Nathan in the "Father's Day" segment appears in all the stories. Does anyone know the specific scenes it shows up in in the other ones?

Answer: Besides being in "Father's Day", it showed up in "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill" right next to the cash box at the Department of Meteors. In "Something To Tide You Over" on the nightstand next to Richard's bed. In "The Crate", it was on the writing desk when Henry writes the letter to Wilma. In "They're Creeping Up On You", Upson Pratt uses it as a soap dish. And in the epilogue, it appears on Billy's desk when he starts stabbing the voodoo doll.
