Writers get their ideas by absorbing ideas form other place, every writer is a reader or watcher. This makes me wonder something. The Omen 2 came out around the same time SK was writing the Stand and image of a large raven appears heavily in the movie. I wonder if this inspired him to have Flagg as the crow  Attachment Deletedmotif. |

In later years Poe, of course uses a Raven as a sort of messenger from the beyond type figure in his poem, "The Raven.
In more recent years look at the The Crow stories and films.
You see Flagg as a Dracula type character who was surrounded by and able to control and use Crows, and even took on a ghastly and frightening black feathery appearance with completely black eyes. That is reminiscent of how Dracula has depicted as physically melting away into a flock of flying bats or a herd of scurrying rats. |
