Is Horlicks University only mentioned in these two stories? Or was it used more? I can't really find out anywhere or remember.
What I'm wondering is: both of these stories were filmed for Creepshow and Creepshow 2, yet they were written long before they were picked up for those movies. Why would they pick two stories taking place at the same university out of all the stories he has written? Clearly these stories were picked for their impact, not because they happened to have the same location.
The Crate was published in 1979 in Gallery. It was never collected. Creepshow is from 1982.
The Raft was published in 1982 also in Gallery. It was collected in Skeleton Crew in 1985. Creepshow 2 is from 1987.
So they weren't written specifically to be adapted.
