Director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King. Working independently they've terrified millions of loyal fans with film like "Night of the Living Dead" and novels like "The Shining", "Carrie" and "Cujo". Together, they're twice as scary - and "Creepshow" is the collaboration that horror fans have been deliciously dreading! Imagine what happens when old man Grantham drops in on a family Father's Day celebration...after several years safely tucked away in his grave. Consider a meteor that leaks out high-octane plant food and starts everything growing - including your skin. Join a diabolical beach party with live entertainment - until the tide comes in. Or peek into a crate that hides a man-sized appetite. Or spend the evening with Mr Pratt, who has an absolute horror of bugs - and is about to find out why. Five ghoulishly clever stories, each told in the lurid comic-book style of famed '50s EC titles like "Tales From The Crypt"- that's what "Creepshow" has in store for you. It's a virtuoso exercise in frightfulness, topped off with the gallows humour that nostalgia buffs with recognize as an EC trademark. You'll even see framing illustrations by Jack Kamen, an EC regular from the heyday of horror comics. Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, and E.G. Marshall leads a large cast all thoroughly in the spirit of things. Stephen King himself plays Jordy Verrill, the farmer whose green thumb gets out of hand. Make-up effects artist Tom Savini contributes a spectacular array of ghastly sights (including the crate monster, a five month project) to guarantee you several sleepless nights.

Now, let "Creepshow" begin... and show you how much fun you can have being scared!
