  Review by 1313: Tony the Terror ★★★★★ 19

  Listen bitches I am WAY too drunk right now to give you a cohesive review so lemme just say that this movie is 5 stars if anything was ever 5 stars and I could watch it a million times and never get tired of it. One of the only decent memories I have of my father is watching this movie and it was so unbelievably scary when I was that young, but that’s also why I loved it even then.

  My favorite segment changes every so often, but right now it’s a toss-up between Father’s Day and The Crate because DUH. If you haven’t seen this then I’m embarrassed for you true story because it is the template to which all anthology horror films should follow, k?

  I don’t have a problem YOU have a problem.

  A self-fulfilling comic-book horror show, obsessed with its own outrageous versions of one truthful theme: everyone can and will be fucked over, regardless if they deserve it or not. Some variations are more entertaining, or more gruesome, than others, but Creepshow's singular flow is rooted in the embrace of the form that it's adapting and the translation of its particularities. The restoration from Scream Factory is excellent.

  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 when it comes to…

  Overall rating: 3.7/5, very enjoyable.
  Anyone know if Creepshow 2 is worth checking out?

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I think I relate to Steven King’s character more than any other in the history of film. Not so much the turning into a moss monster and shooting myself in the face, but the staying up way too late watching crummy TV while getting completely trashed part.

  P.S.
  Leslie Neilsen’s velour tracksuit is pure sex.

  The best comic book adaptation ever.

  Review by Slig001 ★★★★ 1

  George Romero's 1950's comic strip comes to life, with a five part anthology of macabre and high camp tales of terror. Creepshow was obviously going for a moving comic book feel and achieves it with the anthology structure, some smart editing and a lot of completely over the top special effects. Nothing here can really be taken too seriously; the stories are all good family fun. It's not hard to see why this was a childhood favourite for so many. As with any anthology film, the segments vary in quality. The first and last being the weakest, but this is made up for by the middle three. Stephen King does a turn as a slack jawed yokel who comes a…

  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★★ 7

  I never actually grew up watching this, but I do get why it is a childhood favourite of many. Creepshow is a fun anthology movie that delivers plenty of horror kicks without it being too horrific. The segments are uniformly solid throughout. Romero and King sure were a match made in heaven.

  My rating for each segment is as follows:

  Father's Day - 3,5
  The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill - 3,5
  Something to Tide You Over - 4
  The Crate - 4,5
  They're Creeping Up on You! - 3,5

  I had a great time revisiting this classic with Michelle.

  Review by Mr. DuLac ★★★★ 11

  Just tell it to call you Billie, you bitch!

  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.

  Review by christian d ★★★★★ 2

  One of the most fun and entertaining movies of the 1980s. Campy, horrific, hilarious and just creatively put together on all fronts. Incredible SFX work that makes you really miss the practical craft and just a pure love-letter to the imaginative and innovative E.C. Horror Comics of the 50s. Stephen King also gives one of the greatest comedic performances in the history of cinema. I guess cocaine ain't all that bad after all. THAT'S A METEOR. I'LL BE DIPPED IN SHIT IF THAT AIN'T A METEOR!

  "THE MOST FUN YOU WILL HAVE BEING SCARED!"

  Ain't that the truth! Man Creepshow is such an enjoyable ride. The 80s horror anthology classic that brings those autumn feels like no other. The one anthology I reach for when I yearn for a nostalgia induced nightmare.

  When I think of what makes an 80s horror film an all around engaging experience it always comes down to one thing. The ability in which it balances camp and a mean spirited nature.

  And dang does Creepshow ever do this with precision! I was surprised that after all these years of multiple viewings I still found myself laughing out loud at many parts. I mean who can really hold it together when you…
