I thought that whole comic aspect was pretty unique, and I liked the stories in the film ("The Crate" is by far the best of them all, the one with Leslie Nielsen is my runner up for second place). comics from the 1950s, each story as if it were from a comic book. The whole movie is tied in with the classic E.C. Marshall, whom all give good performances in the movie. There is a very good cast, including Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, and E.G. Each of the stories displayed in this movie are a little bit corny to a certain extent, but they are still well done and are quite amusing. The film centers around five stories - consisting of a murderous revenge tale of a father on fathers day a redneck (played by Stephen King himself) who begins growing a green substance on his body after coming in contact with a meteor a man who buries his wife and her lover up to their heads on the beach as the tide begins to come in a strange monster that lives in a crate that was discovered beneath a stairway and a Scrooge-like businessman who lives in a purely sanitized apartment that can't get rid of pesky cockroaches. "Creepshow" is a unique, funny, and creepy horror anthology from Stephen King and George A. Maybe they'll work together directly in the near future. Sadly the two could never capture the magic they once had.
I have enjoyed this as a child and I still consider this movie one of my favorite horror films. Creepshow is a true modern day horror classic. A couple of Romero regulars such as his wife Christine, Tom Savini and who can forget Stephen King as Jordy Verill. Leslie Nielsen, Adrienne Barbeau, Ted Danson and Ed Harris co-star as well. Romero stated that he finally got to work with Fritz Weaver and Hal Holbrook and E.G. The cast is a mixture of new actors and classic ones. The set pieces are very well designed and are brilliantly executed. All the stories are excellent and well directed. During the night the tossed out comic book comes to life and plays out all the stories (in comic book form) with the "Creepshow Ghoul' leading the way.
The story begins as a young kid is being punished by his overbearing and brutish father for reading "trashy filth" and is punished.
Romero directing plus Tom Savini creating the gory special effects how can you go wrong? You just can't and the aforementioned duo delivers the goods. Comics that the two enjoyed reading in their youths. Several tales filmed in an anthology style based upon the E.C. Two of the masters in their respective fields joining forces to collaborate on a movie. Creepshow (1982) was a horror fan's dream come true.
