4. Stephen King Has The License Plate From Christine - It Chapter Two

Though you get no points for spotting Stephen King's amusingly on-the-nose cameo appearance as a pawn shop owner in It Chapter Two, the scene does contain an incredibly sneaky Easter egg that will get the minds of King's fans positively whirring.

When King's character talks to Bill (James McAvoy), a number of car license plates are visible behind King, including a yellow one bearing the string "CQB 241."

This is the very same license plate used for the murderous 1958 Plymouth Fury in John Carpenter's 1983 adaptation of King's novel Christine, which beyond being a cute reference seems to suggest that, at one point in time, this pawn shop owner himself seemingly had possession of Christine.
