And of course the very last shot in the segment makes a great ending. Just when you think it's all over.......

I recently read the 1950's EC Tales From The Crypt comic that this was based on (or that Stephen King based his short story on).
actually both the tales from the crypt comic and the raft were based on a stephen king short story he did back in college, which he lost his original and couldn't get a copy of the magazine that it was printed in, and then re-wrote it and placed the short story in Bag Of Bones, which was a collection of his short stories

hope that clears something up
