Are these episodes of Kolchak: The Night Stalker or Stephen King novels?

Can you tell these creepy titles apart?

In April 1974, a young writer named Stephen King published his debut novel, Carrie. It would be the first of many creepy, gripping and sometimes downright strange stories written by one of the most prolific authors of all time.

Speaking of creepy and strange, five months after Carrie first came out, a new show about a Chicago reporter tasked with investigating the unexplainable premiered. It was called Kolchak: The Night Stalker and though it only ran for one season it has become a cult favorite among classic horror fans.

We’ve collected titles from both Kolchak episodes and Stephen King books. Can you guess what each name is from?

16/16! At age 13 in 1983 in a bookstore with my uncle. He picked up a huge book and asked if he bought it would I read it. I didn't want to say no. The book was The Stand. I read the first page and couldn't put it down. I worked w my uncle on his meat delivery route. Didn't talk to him for 3 weeks. And was hooked on SK ever since. I sure do miss my uncle.

Greetings. I Love Kolchak The Night Stalker. Kolchak is unique; he thinks for himself.
He thinks on his feet and that has saved him many times. Kolchak oftimes is ignored by those in authority
much to their chagrin later on when Kolchak emerges Triumphant. A Great Show!
I watch it regularly.
GOD Bless.
