There's not really much I can say about "Creepshow" that hasn't been said or most horror fans don't already know. It's a diverse anthology made up of five tales "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate", and "They're Creeping Up on You". Every tale is enjoyable with my personal favorite being "The Crate". Each story is enriched with homages to the classic EC comics of the 1950's and Tom Savini's gore and creature effects still hold up great today. A great film by two great horror icons George A. Romero (R.I.P) and Stephen King.

I first saw this in the mid 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently on a dvd. The creature effects by Tom Savini is very noteworthy. Stephen King, George Romero and Tom Savini, these names r sufficient to entice any horror fan. It is one of the best horror anthologies. The film consists of 5 short stories. My personal favourite is The Crate. The creature is scary. The scene wher the creature attacks the neck is very well done. The creepiest scene is in the segment They r creeping up on u, the cockroaches creeping out from the body. The segment Something to Tide You Over starring Leslie Nielsen is a bit reminiscent of Nightmare Castle but with humor n a solid torture technique.

This horror flick is an analogy of five stories of creepiness and horror - covering stuff from zombies to monsters to bugs. This film has that skin-crawling factor and those jumpy moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.The acting is not terribly good, the music score is somewhat eerie and the plots for each story are fast-paced to a degree. There are not much of humor, drama or action in this horror flick - just plain weirdness and thrills. The make-up and visual effects were well done, definitely giving off that sensation of fright and outrageous horror.Not the greatest horror movie out there, but it's a good one to watch during Halloween.Grade B-
