Did you know that Cujo was also going to be possessed by an evil spirit of a serial killer? Although the movie blatantly explains that Cujo has rabies after getting biten by a bat, the novel actually offers an alternative explanation for Cujo's sudden bloodlust and epic drooling. As it suggests, Cujo may in fact be possessed by the spirit of a serial killer, but the film's director, Lewis Teague, opted to remove the serial killer possession subplot, and just stick to rabies.
