Yes, the novella "The Body" by Stephen King, upon which the film "Stand by Me" is based, is loosely inspired by King's own experiences growing up in rural Maine. However, the events in the story are fictional, and the characters are not based on real people.
Technically speaking they spoofed movies based on one Stephen King novel, and two of his short stories. They Spoofed Misery, the one where Stewie played the crazy chick (Novel), The Shawshank Redemption, the prison one (Short Story called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption"), and Stand By me (short story called "The Body"). I would recomend checking out the films and novel and short stories, both of which were in Different Seasons.
The four main characters in "The Body" by Stephen King are Gordie Lachance, Chris Chambers, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio. They are a group of friends who set out on a journey to find the body of a missing boy in the summer of 1960.
