You might make the argument that King wants us to see the potential terror of seemingly innocuous, everyday objects, people, and situations. A pet cemetery, a car, a clown, an unpopular girl in high school, etc. all have the potential to become frightening.

Also, he is oddly optimistic, given his dark imagery - generally, good triumphs over evil, once someone is brave enough and wise enough to lead the charge. Despite his morbid subject matter, King genuinely seems to be very positive on life - life is a wonderful gift, to be cherished, defended, and enjoyed as fully as possible. Redemption is also a frequent theme in his work, perhaps stemming from his own struggles with Alcoholism and drug abuse, which he finally overcame in the late 80's. His work also frequently hints at his deep political convictions - King is a Democrat, and is intensely interested in issues of race relations, bigotry, antisemitism, homophobia, and religious zealotry.

Since his near-fatal accident in 1999 (he was hit by a distracted driver while walking near his home), his works have focused more on mortality, aging, human frailty, and the need to live a good life, with as much love as can be had. Above all else, King makes clear that he believes life is meaningful and worthwhile, provided one gives and receives love freely.
