Stephen King finds inspiration in Maine for 'Under the Dome'

Stephen King's latest novel, released last month, is a New York Times bestseller -- hardly a surprise for an author who has sold over 350 million books in his long career.

King has often used his home state of Maine as a backdrop for his novels, and this latest one is no different.

The town of Bridgton, Maine is the real inspiration for the fictional town that is living "Under the Dome."

The music is playing....crowds are streaming in... and the lines are long as everyone at the Magic Lantern theater in Bridgton, Maine waits to make their way into the theater...popcorn in hand.
