The Temple of Dagon

hey now, the TNT cable network is putting out a series of stephen king shorts from a book called nightmares & dreamscapes which i read in high school. i think it's probably the first place i remember seeing the name 'nyarlathotep.'

anyway, tonight's installment included 2 episodes.. the first one is about a guy fighting little green army men, but the second one is 'crouch end.' i only caught the end of it on tv, but there's a part where the main character is walking past a series of signs bearing mythos names and phrases. later her husband is eaten by a sort of 3-headed hydra type thing which is referred to as 'the goat with a thousand young.'

i think 'crouch end' was probably my favorite story in that book, from what i can remember of it

Isn't there graffiti in "The Lost Boys" that reads 'Yog-Sothoth rules'?

Hmm...Love that movie but never seen the graffiti before,I will have to watch it again.

Crouch End is on again tonight at, I think 11:00 if any one missed it.

Might be in the book. I read about it somewhere, but it might have been a different story.

"Crouch End" can be found in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes anthology as well as Eternal Lovecraft. I read it in the latter collection, and it was one of the better stories.

by far kings best work, (as well as the dark tower series)

That was in Needful Things, not Crouch End. I think.

That sounds like the story "Battleground", from an earlier collection.
