John Carpenter was clearly influenced by the excellent film Quatermass and The Pit. For 'Prince of Darkness' he uses the name Quatermass as a pseudonym on the writing credit. Quatermass and the Pit's location - the subway station at "Hobb's End" - is also the name of the town in 'In The Mouth of Madness'.
