Creepshow	comment	In 1982, horror author Stephen King teamed up with zombiemeister George A. Romero and special effects wizard Tom Savini to make Creepshow, an anthology film that paid homage to 1950s horror comic books like Tales from the Crypt from EC Comics. It featured an all-star cast (including Leslie Nielsen, Ed Harris, pre-Cheers Ted Danson, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, E. G. Marshall, and Stephen King himself) and told five stories:"Father's Day": Many years ago, Bedelia Grantham's (Viveca Lindfors) wealthy, abusive, and domineering father Nathan (Jon Lormer) made her life a living hell, even going so far as to have her lover killed just so he could keep her under his thumb. That Father's Day, she proceeded to bash her father's head in with a marble ashtray as he yammered loudly for his cake. Seven years later, the rest of the Grantham family, including newly-made in-law Hank (Harris), gather together at the family estate on Father's Day, the anniversary of the murder. Unfortunately for the Granthams, you can't keep a hungry man down. Nathan still wants his cake, and not even death itself is going to keep him from getting it."The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill": Backwoods redneck Jordy Verrill (King) thinks his financial woes are solved when he witnesses a meteor crash-land on his farm, intending to sell it to the local college for a small fortune. After splashing a bucket of water on the meteor to cool it off, it splits in half, revealing a strange liquid that Jordy innocently dumps into the ground. Despite his setback, Jordy resolves to try and fix the meteor in the morning. Unfortunately for Jordy, the meteor turns out to contain some rapidly-growing alien plants that not only spread all over his farm, but also on his body. Based on King's short story "Weeds"."Something to Tide You Over": Wealthy control freak Richard Vickers (Nielsen) learns that his wife Becky is having an affair with well-to-do beach bum Harry Wentworth (Danson). When he confronts Harry about the affair, he plays a recording of a terrified Becky begging Harry to come save her. He soon lures Harry to his private beachfront estate, and once there, he forces Harry to jump into a hole in the sand, whereupon Richard buries him up to his neck. To make matters worse, Richard has buried Harry below the high-tide line, ensuring that he'll drown when the tide comes in. As a final insult, he even shows Harry live footage of Becky suffering the same fate before he drowns. Richard is certain that once they drown, his problems will be solved. Unfortunately, Richard never took Harry's vow of revenge seriously, and ends up receiving a visit from two scorned lovers from beyond the grave. Or rather, from the bottom of the sea."The Crate": At the prestigious Horlicks University, janitor Mike Latimer (Don Keefer) finds an old, dusty crate underneath a basement stairwell. The crate also catches Mike's interest when he discovers that it has been stored underneath the staircase for over a century and supposedly contains specimens of an "Arctic expedition". He notifies biology professor Dexter Stanley (Fritz Weaver) about the find, and invites him to the basement to help him open it. Once opened, the crate is revealed to contain a shaggy, diminutive, and ferocious creature. After the monster kills and eats Mike, the frightened Professor Stanley enlists the help of grad student Charlie Gereson. After the monster also kills and eats Charlie, Dexter goes to his colleague and fellow professor Henry Northrup (Holbrook) for help. Henry turns out to be married to an abusive and alcoholic shrew of a woman named Wilma (Barbeau and her cleavage), and upon hearing Dex's story, he decides that a flesh-eating monster is a rather tempting alternative to divorce. Adapted from a short story of the same name."They're Creeping Up on You!": Upson Pratt (Marshall), a miserly, racist, germophobic business tycoon, hates pretty much everybody. He spends much of his time conversing with his hard-working subordinates through the phone, treating them all like dirt and insects while he rules his multinational business empire from his sterilized, germ-proof penthouse. One night, George Gendron, one of Pratt's employees, informs him that a business rival, Norman Castonmeyer, ended up committing suicide after Pratt took his company out from under him. Pratt actually reacts joyously to this news, but soon after, he soon begins finding cockroaches, which he fears more than anything, crawling all around his apartment. He also gets a message from Norman's widow, Lenore, who furiously berates him for what happened to her husband. It all comes to a climax when a rolling blackout hits Pratt's building, and the cockroaches begin to overwhelm him, swarming by the thousands. In addition, the movie also has a Framing Device of a young boy named Billy (Joe Hill) who reads the eponymous Creepshow comic while enduring abuse from his father, Stan (Tom Atkins). Thankfully, Billy manages to get the last laugh.It had a less well-received (but still mostly good) sequel, Creepshow 2, which was followed by the unofficial and nowhere near as popular Creepshow 3. The film would inspire other EC Comics-style horror anthologies such as Tales from the Crypt and Tales from the Darkside.A 12-episode series aired on Shudder streaming service, beginning September 26, 2019. Here is the official trailer. In addition to more adaptations of King himself, the series also boasts stories from Joe Hill, Joe R Lansdale, Josh Malerman, and more. Creepshow is the Trope Namer for: Fluffy the Terrible (via Tom Savini nicknaming the monster in "The Crate" "Fluffy")

Creepshow / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Creepshow / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" was loosely inspired by Creedence Clearwater Revival's "It Came Out Of The Sky," a song where a farmer finds an object that fell from space (though the plot of the song is otherwise very different) - the main character in the CCR song is named Jody, which of course sounds similar to Jordy. In addition, the title of the segment is a play on Bob Dylan's song "The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carrol," and as noted above, H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Colour Out of Space" is also a clear influence. The stenciled text on Fluffy's crate reads "SHIP TO HORLICKS UNIVERSITY VIA JULIA CARPENTER...ARCTIC EXPEDITION JUNE 19, 1834." At the time, John Carpenter was shooting The Thing (1982), which is set in Antarctica. Carpenter was also the director the Stephen King adaptation Christine, which featured Horlicks University. A lot of people involved in this movie had worked with Carpenter before, to the point where it's honestly easy to forget that he wasn't involved in Creepshow at all. At the beginning of "They're Creeping Up on You!" the ragtime music that was used in The Evil Dead can be heard on Pratt's jukebox. Bedelia's murdered lover Peter Yarbro could be a tip of the hat from King to his fellow horror novelist Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. The two new teachers in "The Crate" are named Richard and Tabitha. They are named after Stephen King's wife, Tabitha, and his writing alter-ego Richard Bachman, according to King himself.
