Creepshow

Five Jolting Tales of Horror!

Two macabre masters – 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 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 a fine cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and Stephen King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini. Let the Creepshow begin!

Critic Reviews:

• " The team-up of director George A. Romero with King was seen as a monumental summit; the movie that resulted from their collaboration is uneven, but its best bits hold up as well as anything in either master's canon. " – The Ringer

• " The lighting, color palette, splashy FX work, and caricature acting all combine to make Creepshow one of horror's most distinct and enduring films. " – Dread Central

• " As with any anthology film, some stories are better than others. Even so, there are no outright clunkers here, just five entertaining tales told with great style. " – Aisle Seat
