Trivia[]
- Henry is mentioned in the novel 11/22/63 by Beverly and Richie while talking to Jake Epping about the whereabouts of the Dunning family.
- The Haven television series character Kirk Bowers is intended to be somehow related to him.
- Despite being the secondary antagonist, Henry's role in the film is only slight compared to the novel and miniseries. This earned criticism toward the film, as he does not have much characterization or impact on the plot in the 2017 films, with him being swiftly defeated in both parts before he can cause major harm.
- Henry dies three different ways between the novel and movie.
- Henry is possibly bisexual as he wanted to have sex with Beverly, and he seemed to like it when Patrick Hockstetter gave him a handjob though he denied it.
- Had two pigs, named Bip and Bop.
- Uses a nightlight of "Donald Duck doffing his little sailor hat" while staying at Juniper Hill, which was likely his last link to sanity and the outside world. He also keeps a record of how many bulbs he burned out in his use of the nightlight, which was four.
