| 2 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: |
| 3 | ** The Italian title of the book is "L'Ombra dello Scorpione" ("The Shadow of the Scorpion"). There ''is'' a line about Randall Flagg being "the shadow of the owl at midnight and the scorpion at high noon," but since the symbol is never repeated or expanded, it's a somewhat odd choice for the title. |
| 4 | ** On the other hand, the Swedish title, "Pestens Tid" ("The Age/Time of Pestilence/the Plague", depending on how you translate), arguably works better than the original. |
| 5 | ** Ditto for the French title, "Le Fléau" ("The Scourge"[=/=]"The Plague"). |
| 6 | * CreatorsFavorite: Lloyd Henreid is Creator/StephenKing's favourite character in the story. |
| 7 | * HypotheticalCasting: In one of Creator/StephenKing's intro essays for the Uncut Edition, he suggested Creator/RobertDuvall for Randall Flagg and Music/BruceSpringsteen for Larry Underwood. |
| 8 | * LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The [[DoorStopper 1500-page]] "complete and uncut" edition. |
| 9 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/DarioArgento stated in a 1983 interview that he was once approached to direct a film version but rejected the offer due to a lack of interest in working on adaptations. |
