Sometimes the references are not so subliminal. Take "The Dead Zone" for instance. A character - whose name I forget - proclaims "Just like in the book
Carrie!". Although I see what you mean, he does refer to his other books in many of his novels. Lots of characters star in more than one book.
May I add, I have a feeling that the creators of
South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, are fans of Mr. King. They have parodied a few of his stories and characters. A Jude Crandall (Pet Sematary) type character appears in more than a few episodes. The Dead Zone is parodied in the episode "Cartman's Incredible Gift", and "Children of the Corn" is parodied in "Wacky Molestation Adventure".
