Maximum Overdrive

Planet Earth passes through a comets tail and everything with a motor or microchip gets a life of its own. Rebeling against and killing their human masters. Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez) and a bunch of unfortunate truckers get trapped in a truck stop, surrounded by driverless, murderous trucks and a bull dozer.

Question: One of the early posters of this film shows a bearded guy (who is not in the film) coming through a wall crack and holding puppet strings with one hand. Who is this guy supposed to be and what does he represent?

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: He does bear a striking resemblance to Stephen King. King was both the writer and director of this movie, and as such, was certainly the guy in charge of all the character's fates and pulling all the strings.
