b_kite There's not really much I can say about "Creepshow" that hasn't been said or most horror fans don't already know. It's a diverse anthology made up of five tales "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate", and "They're Creeping Up on You". Every tale is enjoyable with my personal favorite being "The Crate". Each story is enriched with homages to the classic EC comics of the 1950's and Tom Savini's gore and creature effects still hold up great today. A great film by two great horror icons George A. Romero (R.I.P) and Stephen King.

tamosoeka I tried to find a good Stephen King film. To this day, I watched a dozen of 'em, found none.This film was comical. It has a comic in it, doesn't it? None of the stories felt creepy.Was it made for kids or something? Mister King writes a lot, but sorry to say, they are mostly vegetable. I mean, Where was the creep? It isn't possible that all the directors who made films out of Stephen King stories are bad at makin' it, is it? I am still to find a jump scare in a Stephen King film. I tried, I did not.

loockmonster Creepshow is an outstanding film. How could it not be when Stephen King, George A. Romero, and Tom Savaini are all working together? The three are horror masters. If somebody were to say it was terrible or stupid, then they would be missing the point. The movie is a satire of EC horror comics from the 50's. The Creep is the horror host. (Like the crypt keeper or the old witch.)The visuals are also similar to the comics. The scene would turn red whenever something scary happened. A dark scene was light blue. The scenes always started out as comic book panel, but morph into a live action scene. The stories have everything horror fans could want. Rotting zombies, strange plants that won't stop growing, cartoonish revenge plots, monsters under the stairs, and mass swarms of bugs that can't be stopped. I would highly recommend this movie to people who love both horror and comic books. I would say "The Crate" is the best, and "They're Creeping Up On You", is the worst.

moonspinner55 Five short stories by Stephen King (three originals and two self-adaptations), presented by director George A. Romero in the style of EC Comics. Neither "Father's Day" nor "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate" or "They're Creeping Up on You!" contain the pleasurable horrors to be derived by an old-school comic book--these twisted tales are just too ungainly; however, several of the performances are good, particularly Leslie Nielsen's in "Tide". Better than 1985's "Cat's Eye" (which Stephen King also had a hand in), but not as well-produced or as polished as Landis and Spielberg's "Twilight Zone: The Movie", released in 1983. Followed by "Creepshow 2" in 1987, wherein Romero adapted the King stories but didn't direct. ** from ****
