Synopsis
From the pen of Stephen King who brought you 'Carrie' and 'The Shining'. Directed by George A. Romero of 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Zombies' fame. CREEPSHOW is an [sic] horror omnibus that will make your flesh creep. When a young boy's horror comic is thrown away by his father, a spectre-like 'host' appears and as he flips through its pages he introduces a new dimension in fear at every turn. As the five stories within CREEPSHOW unfold each episode becomes more terrifying than the last. The Fathers' Day celebration from beyond the grave... the meteor that is more than meets the eye... the crate marked 1834 in which something still lives... a jealous husband's terrible revenge that backfires... the millionaire trapped in the lift alone - or is he?... and finally the young boy's vengeance on his father who threw away the precious comic that was CREEPSHOW.

User Reviews:
The number one box office film in America for all of one week...and then E.T. came along and everything changed forever. Creepshow is the long-awaited collaboration between George A.Romero and Stephen King, with special effects from Tom Savini and an all-star cast camping it up through five stories from the pages of a young boy's comic book. You get zombies, 'meteor shit' from outer space turning a hick farmer into walking vegetation, a sadistic millionaire who exacts a terrible watery revenge on his wife and her lover, a sharp-toothed beast in a crate and - the sequence most people remember - thousands of cockroaches bursting out of EG Marshall's chest. Promoted as "the most fun you'll ever have being SCARED", Creepshow succeeds completely in creating a live-action, highly stylised comic book, complete with animated linking sequences and gaudy Euro-influenced lighting which give the proceedings a very distinctive and impressive style. Don't let the 15 certificate put you off, this is enormous fun, even for non-horror fans. Oh, and you get Ed Harris disco dancing too.
