Today we are re-releasing our review of Creepshow. This was our first episode ever! Nick and I decided this was a great way to start our podcast off with. This episode was lost when we transferred our show over , but I was able to get it back up and I present it to you here.

Creepshow was released in 1982 and was directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King. The film consists of five short stories:

“Father’s Day” Based on an original story written for the movie by Stephen King. While waiting for Aunt Bedelia at a dinner party, the greedy family recalls that she killed her own father seven years ago. Now her un-dead father returns from the grave as a zombie expecting to eat his cake.
“The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill” Based on Stephen King’s short story “Weeds”. Stephen King plays the titular Jordy Verrill.
“Something to Tide You Over” Stars Leslie Nelson & Ted Danson in a story about a vengeful, murderous psychopath.
“The Crate” Based on the short story of the same name. A Janitor finds an old wooden crate that contains a small and powerful beast.
“They’re Creeping Up on You!” A cruel, ruthless businessman whose mysophobia has him living in a hermetically sealed apartment, but finds himself helpless when his apartment becomes overrun by endless hordes of cockroaches.
