Bookworms/Wheelhouse: Stephen King characters/books

Match each character from the list below to the correct Stephen King story, also below. Three points each.
One player has been chosen as the Wheelhouse player. Meet or beat that player's score for an extra five points.

Characters:

Ace Merrill - The Body
Andy Dufrense - Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption
Annie Wilkes - Misery
'Big Jim' Rennie - Mr. Mercedes - Haven't read this one.
Bill Denbrough - It.
Bill Hodges - The Stand - Read it too long ago.
Gage Creed - Under the Dome - Haven't read this one.
Jack Sawyer - Insomnia - Wish this one were "our Lois."
Jessie Burlingame - Gerald's Game - This must be the intruder. Maybe not, maybe it's Jessie.
Leland Gaunt - Needful Things
Nick Andros - The Talisman - Read it too long ago.
Percy Wetmore - The Green Mile
Ralph Roberts - Pet Sematary - Haven't read this one.
Roland Deschain - The Dark Tower
Rose the Hat - Doctor Sleep

Stories: Some of these I haven't read. Some I've read and can't remember names.

Bonus: What was the title of King's less-than-successful attempt at movie directing? It was the crazed truck . . . Maximum Overdrive! I remember reading about it at the time. Actor Pat Hingle was giving him directing advice.

Note: It is not one of the above stories.
(five points)

Total points: 55

As usual, it has been my pleasure hosting Slamboree. I'll be back soon with another Bored challenge.

THANKS, VANDAL!
