Infectiously fun and silly, 'Creepshow' is, in my opinion, one of the most effective send-ups to 50s horror.

A funny more that scary collection of vignettes. But still entertaining enough. "Meteor shit!." - Stephen King

A fun horror anthology that, in my opinion, doesn't deserve its "classic" reputation.

I'm sorry i absolutely Love Stephen King but if I didn't know that he had a part in this movie ( 5 short films put together for 1 full length movie) I wouldn't believe it. I'm sorry but in my humble opinion this falls way short of his amazing work like Misery. I'd give this movie 0 stars if I could because I don't think it deserves 1. Complete waste of time. I first watched it in the late 90's and once again this month ( October 2024) and it's just as bad as I remember.

Creepshow is a thrill ride of horror and comedy and both George A. Romero and Stephen King did really outstanding job to make a horror anthology into one film and you got really fantastic cast members and spectacular make-up effects artist by Vietnam Veteran Tom Savini and really fantastic cinematography it captures the comic book style of the 50's horror comics and really dark twisted humor to keep us entertained and enjoy the film.

One of my all-time favorite horror anthologies definitely in my top five.

Classic movie and franchise

1982 classic, 5 short ghastly stories.

Nov 12, 2023

This is a film with lots of unique and creepy imagery, but the stories never feel like they last as long (or as short) as they ought to.

"Creepshow offers a visually striking and creatively crafted horror anthology with a nostalgic 80s vibe. While boasting impressive practical effects and eerie sounds, the film falls short in delivering genuine scares, leaving me longing for more intense thrills. The movie's promising premise sets the stage for a bone-chilling journey, but it fails to fully capitalize on its potential. Despite its shortcomings, 'Creepshow' still charms horror enthusiasts with its homage to classic horror and its fun, albeit tame, experience. For those seeking a trip down memory lane and appreciation for practical effects, this film may still be an enjoyable choice, albeit lacking the full-fledged frights.

The collaboration of George A. Romero and special effects makeup artist Tom Savini bring you a horror anthology of 5 tales of goofy terror Based on the 1950s E.C. comics of the same name starring a bunch of great cameo actors Many of the talents include Tom Atkins, Stephen King, the late Hal Holbrook, the late Leslie Nielsen, the late EG Marshall, Ed Harris, Ted Danson, and Adrienne Barbeau The opening definitely sets the tone even commenting on parents' fears of how bad comics they believed they were for children Each tale involves a murdered father back from the grave for Father’s Day cake – and revenge!…A crashed meteor oozing gunk that gets everything growing, including human flesh!…A professor selecting his shrewish wife as an hors d’oeuvres for a ravenous Bigfoot-like monster!…A diabolical beach party with Cheers star Ted Danson up to his neck in terror!…The gruesome results when a malevolent millionaire who fears insects goes eyeball to bugeye with about six-jillion cockroaches It's funny they make it look like the source material with comic panel frames, the shadow lighting, and several animated sequences It's also got crazy over-the-top camera angels too The first story is just to get things started, the second is less scary but more tragic but also funny how they make vegetation into an epidemic, the third takes a comedic actor like Nielsen and makes him terrifying given his actions yet shows the comeuppance of infidelity and revenge, the fourth one is a bit more inspired as it deals with plenty of suspense built up and keeping the monster hidden until it reveals itself properly, and the fifth story is actually the most memorable as it goes for shock value and deals with a general fear of insects everyone can relate to The stories play on our most unusual sources of fear but not without being comical For horror fans it's so much fun The fact that the filmmakers emulate the horror comic stories shows how much they love them Some stylish shot compositions and flashy colors help sell the kooky fun nature as well as the tongue-in-cheek tone This is one of my favorite anthology films next to Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Cats Eye, and Nightmares You'll forget that this is 2 hours cause of how much zany it is The ending also serves as a great bookend A film that's kinda dicey on a narrative level but silly to a degree that it entertains striking a nice balance and humor and horror

A delightfully spooky series of horror short stories from Stephen King! Horror maestro director George A. Romero's horror anthology Creepshow (1982) is a quaint masterpiece of charming little horror short stories from the deranged mind of Stephen King. It's only scary for children and the easily frightened, but Romero's brand of camp horror is to die for, honestly. Romero's direction is so stylish with neon red and blue light filters, spooky fog, eerie moss and vines, and ghastly creatures well hidden in shadows. Writer Stephen King is brilliant and crafts these outstanding five horror short stories. It's very cool to see King try his hand at cuter, family friendly, spooky horror short stories like Tales from the Crypt or Goosebumps. They were inspired by old E.C. Comics from the 1950's and tonally Creepshow does feel like The Blob or other old spooky tales. I like the framing device of Joe King's small boy being ridiculed by his mean father. Father's Day is like a classic Romero zombie story complete with a spooky skeleton. Carrie Nye is great as the old Aunt Sylvia. Ed Harris' intrigued Hank Blaine is fun like Elizabeth Regan's dancing and eating Cass Blaine. Stephen King himself is hilarious as the crazed redneck Jordy Verrill in The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill. Leslie Nielsen is hilarious as the vindictive Richard Vickers in Something to Tide You Over. Ted Danson's weary and outraged victim Harry Wentworth. Gaylen Ross is also very frightened of the impending tides. Richard Gere cameos as the voice on the 온라인카지노추천. Jordy Verrill and Something to Tide You Over are my favorite stories within Creepshow. The Crate features a deliriously fun Hal Holbrook as Henry Northup who hates his nagging wife. Adrienne Barbeau is a scream as the incessantly mean wife Billie Northup. Fritz Weaver is great as the paranoid and afraid Dexter Stanley. Don Keefer's curious Mike the Janitor is nice. E. G. Marshall's raving mad Upson Pratt is excellent for the final story of They're Creeping Up on You. Editors George A. Romero, Pasquale Buba, Paul Hirsch, and Michael Spolan slice up each story into neat parts, so that only The Crate feels longer. They let scenes play out naturally for a more creepy sense of suspense. Cinematographer Michael Gornick shoots Creepshow with awesome blue and red filters for light and striking close-ups. He knows just how much to not show you in classic Romero fashion. Production designer Cletus Anderson makes fancy homes and deteriorated shacks for a haunting atmosphere. Art director Larry Fulton nails the comic book colors and shadowy aesthetic of old horror classics. Composer John Harrison's heavy dark synth score combines eerie synths and sad piano melodies for an iconic 80's film score. You can and should listen to Harrison's music on its own for Halloween vibes. Sound designers Gary Alexander, Larry Stensvold, and Chris Jenkins make groaning zombie noises, growing moss sounds, and roaring beasts from The Crate. Costume designer Barbara Anderson pulls off tons of fun early 80s outfits. Makeup artists Tom Savini and Bonnie Priore do grotesque zombie makeup to cover Stephen King in grassy moss for a fun fright! In short, Creepshow is a blast full of five entertaining horror short stories. You feel the 120 minutes, but it's all spooky Halloween fun!

Stephen King & George Romero & Tom Savini. Terrified me as a kid, still holds up 40 years later. Creative, funny & scary. 🍿🍿🍿🍿1/2

Apr 14, 2023

É interessante, passa o tempo, mas as tramas que me assustavam em outros tempos, hoje não passam de contos bem suaves que se vê sempre um fundo de moralidade. Temos algumas boas atuações. Destaque para King e o filho dele, e sobre a arte conceitual do filme, misturando cores de quadrinhos e traços de desenho na fotografia.

BOY, This didnt age well. Was so looking forward to reliving my youth and seeing this horror compilation again since the last time was the first and only time 40 years ago. Either it hasn't aged very well, or maybe I've grown wiser. I had had enough of the stories 45 minutes in, and we still had 1 hour and 15 mins to go! I think story order wise could have been better. The Stephen King one and the Crate were the best, they could have been saved for last, and maybe put the roach one first (or even eliminate it all together, it's well-meaning, but very misplaced).

Feb 14, 2023

Great series of short movies. This fit so much in these even with them being short as they are. The Crate is the best one for me. Scared the crap out of me as a kid and gave me nightmares. It's still creepy to this day.

This Film based on the graphic novel By Stephen king is truly a artwork of HORROR! And The Legendary George A Romero directing it makes me feel like this movie is one 10 ten but 1st place for best horror anthologies of Five Jolting Tales from a young Boy's horror comic book good movie!

This movie was on my watchlist for a long time, and I finally watched it today. The film had five stories and to be honest, one of them felt original or extraordinary. All of them were outdated stories with no surprise element in it or maybe it could be new and exciting stories for that time. The only thing that these stories had was entertainment value as they all were silly old fashioned stories. Also, the special effects and animations were also sound. The acting was normal, there was no good performance in the movie. Overall, it was a normal time pass entertainment which doesn't come up with anything new.
