CREEPSHOW (1982)

“Pretty flawless; each story is wildly different but fun in its own right. Excellent cast choices, great make-up & effects, a tongue in cheek approach makes it stand tall above others within the genre.” – Carl Fisher

Masters of the macabre—writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero—conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic ’50s E.C. horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father’s Day cake. A meteor’s ooze makes everything…grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army. Add the spirited performances of an excellent cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini, and you have a non-stop, thrilling ride that, as Roger Ebert put it, “plays like an anthology of human phobias!”
