The Regulators is a 1996 novel written by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.In the town of Wentworth, Ohio, an autistic boy named Seth has gained power to control the reality around him (thanks to the machinations of the sinister Tak) and turns it into a caricature of The Wild West based off the shows that Seth watches. Creatures from Seth's imagination begin to attack the town and the residents are forced to work together to stop Tak. | |

| The Regulators / int_1c79ae8c | comment |
Those Two Guys: Between this novel, and Desperation Steven Ames and Cynthia Smith are not only among the few characters who remain virtually unchanged in appearance and manner in both books. They're also the only two major characters to SURVIVE both books, and in both books, it's hinted they may end up romantically involved. | |

Trash of the Titans: The Wyler/Garin household; Seth/Tak doesn't care what the place is like, and his aunt/guardian Audrey, the only surviving adult in the household, has much bigger problems occupying her time and energy. As a result, the place is a huge mess. | |

Mauve Shirt | |
| The Regulators / int_2ae277ab | comment |
Mauve Shirt: Mary Jackson is introduced and given a rather full backstory, such as the fact that she's on her way back from cheating on her husband, and how she realizes she's not wearing any underwear, while she's in the act of dying. This is done to the point that she even believes that her husband and the neighbors, who are gathered after the death of the paper boy have figured out she is cheating are there to confront her moments before she is killed. This is especially jarring given in Desperation she is a much more prominent character who manages to survive, against all odds, to the end of the book. This makes sense, considering The Regulators is in many ways an inversion of Desperation. | |

Kick the Dog: Hannibal, the German shepherd, is the second to die in the afternoon's mayhem. To show exactly how evil the villains are (or how evil Tak is, it's not quite clear how much autonomy his creations have), the shooter was aiming at a group of people but turned specifically to shoot the dog when he ran by. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| The Regulators / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: From what's shared of MotoKops 2200, it's rather painfully a merchandise driven cartoon of the 1990s. Audrey in particular isn't fond of Cassie Styles as the only female member of the team, and she outright can't believe someone was paid to think up "Rooty Toot." | |

Bang, Bang, BANG: Gunshots are incredibly loud; a sound of a shotgun is described as the sound of "a detonating backpack missile." Justified, because the shooters are actually figments of Seth's imagination, made real by Tak. | |

Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Well, sudden twinner-death syndrome actually.

In this book however, they are among the first three (four if you include Hannibal the dog) victims to fall to Tak's creations before the end of the fourth chapter | |

Body Horror | |
| The Regulators / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Less so than Desperation in which Tak's possession of the body would cause the host to expand and eventually fall apart; here, his possession of Seth is more of the psychic variety. That being said, Tak is unable to possess anyone else but Seth because their minds are too weak. When he tries, their heads explode. | |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Audrey confesses to her journal that Tak gives off waves of hate and emotional energy which make her feel crazy; the only relief she has found is locking herself in the bathroom and masturbating. (This seems similar to the effect of the can tahs in the alternate universe of Desperation, which drive people to give in to their basest urges.) | |

Orphaned Punchline: When Mary Jackson is shot to death and falls down, Johnny sees that she's not wearing underwear, and thinks of a punchline of an old joke: "I don't know about the other two, but the guy in the middle looks like Willie Nelson". (The joke itself is never told in the book; it's about a woman who has the faces of celebrities tattooed to her thighs.) Also, "Hey, Mister, your sign fell down." | |

Cartridges in Flight: Early in the novel, a handful of characters try to identify what sort of gun a large, pointed metal slug could have come from by looking for features such as the indentation from a firing pin or a stamp bearing the caliber or manufacturer's name. Made even more glaring by one of the characters mentioning they used to help their father reload ammunition- meaning they'd at least know how a bullet works- and another having been on the ground in the Vietnam War. | |

Gangland Drive-By: We learn through a news paper clipping that, at some point prior to the story, Seth's entire family was murdered in what is believed to be a gang shooting. An unknown gunman killed them from within a red van with a radar dish on the roof. The plot of the story itself is kicked off when the same van suddenly shows up in Poplar street and the driver kills Cary Ripton and Hannibal (the dog of the Reed twins) | |

Stepford Suburbia: Stephen King spends the first 5 or 6 pages of the novel practically gushing over Poplar Street's all-American normalness with narration so upbeat it's almost manic. And then everything goes straight to hell, in typical King style. | |

Ludicrous Gibs: When one character gets shot by the Regulators, she's described as simply disappearing, and then a second later a rain of blood falls to the ground. | |

Mama Bear: Audrey makes it repeatedly clear she's not going to abandon Seth to Tak's devices, and refuses to entertain the notion of killing her nephew to get rid of the entity possessing him. | |

Gorn: It's definitely one of King's goriest works. | |

The Baroness | |
| The Regulators / int_f55d739f | comment |
The Baroness: Countess Lili Marsh, the sidekick of the main villain in the MotoKops universe is a stereotypical example of this character. She has dark hair, pale skin and "cruel, beautiful features." Peter Jackson describes her as "some pubescent boy’s first hesitant try at a sex-fantasy." | |
