Get ready to be frightened as two masters of horror--novelist Stephen King and director George Romero--team up to terrorize with a spine tingling Creepshow. A young boy's horror comic book comes to life in a series of five terrifying tales: A dead father comes back for the piece of Father's Day cake that his murderous daughter never served him. A meteorite turns a hapless yokel into a form of plant life. A cuckolded husband plots a seagoing revenge. Something in a crate under the stairs is eating people. And an obsessively clean billionaire suffers an uncontrollable infestation of cockroaches.

Critics Consensus: It's uneven, as anthologies often are, but Creepshow is colorful, frequently funny, and treats its inspirations with infectious reverence.

Reviews

Fat Guys at the Movies

Kevin Carr

Classic gruesome Stephen King pulp makes for one of the best comic book movies of all time.

We aren't spared the expected gross-out special effects; it's just that Creepshow has been directed with wit and love for the genre.

Romero is -- on paper, anyway -- an ideal director for a comic-book movie... [But] the mechanics of storytelling bog him down, and most of the time the formal style of Creepshow has him in a straitjacket.

Creepshow offers five variations on the theme of horror comedy, but hardly any variety. It is a stodgy exercise.

Austin American-Statesman

Kevin Phinney

The spooky visions assembled by King and Romero are designed to entertain, not induce convulsions, and that may be the highest form of praise to attribute to a film of this genre.
