It’s really hard to sit here and try to come up with words for a picture so ingrained in your head since the tail end of my single digits agewise, but I’ll try. Equal parts dark comedy and pulpy E.C. Comic camp, Creepshow embodies everything I find fun and devilishly charming about the genre. 

Delightfully dark tales steeped in gorgeous colors, perfect lighting, just enough satire and grimly fiendish 50’s terror, and transplanted into 1982 by two genre titans who grew up with such material. Its presentation never feels heavy handed as far as the comic inspiration aspect goes, which is a pretty big accomplishment if you ask me. Plus, let’s face it... it’s a fucking monolith as far as…

Ever spend decades thinking you had seen a film, rewatch it... and then realize you had actually never seen it? Either that or I forgot everything there was to remember about the film, but how does one forget psychotic Leslie Nielsen tormenting Ted Danson and that amazing head of hair? Seems unlikely.

A goofy fun horror anthology that pays homage to those classic 50s horror comic books like Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. The clear vision helps the quality to stay status quo across the board, but the real reason for the synergy is the whole production falls under one director and one screenwriter.

Creepshow is a horror anthology from 1982 and did moderately well at the box office. It was directed by George Romero and written by Stephen King. The film acts as an homage to the E.C. and D.C horror comic books of the 1950's.

The film consists of 5 short stories tied together bookended by a couple of short scenes featuring a young boy who is punished by his dad (Tom Atkins) for reading a Creepshow comic. The stories are as follows:

Fathers Day:
This story follows a family get together where a story is told regarding Aunt Bedelia (who hasn't arrived yet) who allegedly killed her father due to a lifetime of being bullied and him having her sweetheart murdered.…

A SPOILER FOR THE SOMETHING TO TIDE YOU OVER SEGMENT

I know that October's over and that but I really did desperately want to rewatch this.

I actually am annoyed I didn't get to rewatch it a couple of days ago and that work got in the way. The reason being that I first saw it back on Halloween back in 1992, a date that goes down in infamy over here as being the date when Ghostwatch was first broadcast. Compare the effort TV stations put into Halloween broadcasting now compared to over 20 years ago. Not even close, is it?

Not content with scaring the absolute shit out of me and my best friend with Ghostwatch, BBC1 then followed…

Möglicherweise bin ich verwöhnt
und gemein, aber ich habe mir gottverdammt noch mal mehr erwartet als diese Boy’s Club Party… Moo-ment, eine Story ist schon sehr gut, welche ist natürlich Geschmacksache, und der Anfang mitsamt Fenster-Kürbis und erzählfreudigem Schreckgespenst rockt. Merke: Comics in den Müll werfen, ist der eigentliche Horror.
