So, is the "possessed by a murderer" thing mentioned below actually there?

It's a reading that a lot of people get because there's a long chapter in which Frank Dodd (the murderer) is mentioned right before Cujo is bitten by the rabid bat. It's mentioned there that the darkness never left the town, and that it only changes shape. But there's no mention of Frank once Cujo becomes rabid, all the POV is from Cujo himself and I think I remember reading an interview with King where he said it was a plot point that he dropped, so no, Cujo wasn't possessed.

Personally? I wish he had been. The book would've a lot less depressing if that was true because then the whole thing would have been caused by someone EVIL, as opposed to a horrible mistake made by a man who just didn't want to spend a little money on the dog's rabies shots.

You know, this whole thread is making me realize that the Haven episode with the dogs was one big Cujo nod and I never got it. Now I feel a little stupid.

Haven did a dog episode? Man, I am really behind, and I love SK.

But don't feel bad. Even King himself wants to forget Cujo sometimes so it's normal if you didn't catch the nod.

Second or third episode of Season 3, and I have kinda spoiled the ending by making that comment. Oops.

no worries, anon. The reason why I fell behind on Haven is because, since I've read all the King books and wrote my degree thesis on his narrative tropes, I could see the ending coming before the first commercial break.

I've heard King say that he actually really likes Cujo and wishes he remembered more about writing it.

Oh man, I was just wondering today if that Haven Christmas episode with the snowglobe was a nod to Under the Dome.

Yeah, this. I always took it exactly as it's said: It's a bad town and more bad things then usual might happen in a bad place such as this. Dodd is an example. Cujo is as well but more of a casualty at the same time.

yup. It would've been Tad Beamount instead of Frank Dodd if the Cujo incident had happened, say, 10 years later. Castle Rock is a bad place in general.
