The premise
Five grisly tales from a 1950s-style comic, including a murdered father rising from beyond, a bizarre meteor, a vengeful husband, a mysterious crate's occupant, and a plague of cockroaches.
Horror Vault's take
A loving tribute to the lurid EC Comics of the 1950s, Creepshow delivers five wickedly entertaining vignettes wrapped in an animated comic-book frame. Each tale pitches ordinary human nastiness — greed, cruelty, spite — against something monstrous and unstoppable, with results that are equal parts gruesome and gleeful. Masters Stephen King and George Romero join forces to ensure every segment hits with the campy punch of a classic horror comic come screaming to life.
