Creepshow 2 | comment |
The sequel to the classic 1982 horror anthology Creepshow is a bit of a mixed bag. A smaller budget lowered the number of stories from five to three, and they also couldn't afford to do as many of the "comic book effects" as they had on the first movie.The aforementioned three stories are:"Old Chief Wood'nhead" — Ray (George Kennedy) and Martha Spruce (Dorothy Lamour, in her final film appearance) are the elderly owners and operators of a general store in the dying town of Dead River, Arizona. Part of the store's decor includes Old Chief Wood'nhead, a cigar store Indian that Ray has owned for at least 30 years, who he treats like he would an old friend. The Spruces debate on whether or not to close their store upon observing the deteriorating state of their town, when Benjamin Whitemoon (Frank Salsedo) an elder from a local Native American tribe, offers them a bag of turquoise jewelry, his people's sacred treasures, as collateral for the debt the tribe has incurred. That night, Benjamin's ne'er-do-well delinquent nephew, Sam Whitemoon (Holt McCallany), along with his hoodlum friends, the wealthy Andy "Rich Boy" Cavanaugh (Don Harvey) and the gluttonous Vince "Fat Stuff" Gribbens (David Holbrook) rob the Spruces' store. After looting the register for what little money it has, Sam forces Ray and Martha at gunpoint to give him the sacred jewelry. The Spruces refuse and are tragically killed by Sam, who plans to run away to Hollywood, hoping to become famous thanks to his long, dark hair. After the delinquents leave, Old Chief Woodn'head comes to life, going on a bloody rampage to avenge the Spruces."The Raft" — Deke (Paul Satterfield), Randy (Daniel Beer), Laverne (Jeremy Green), and Rachel (Page Hannah) are four fun-loving, pot-smoking college kids who are driving out to Cascade Beach, a hotspot far from civilization, for a dip in the lake. They also hope that a leftover from the summer, a wooden raft, will still be out on the lake at this time of year. After discovering that the raft is indeed out on the lake, the kids attempt to swim out to it so they can keep smoking weed and get freaky on it. While swimming to the raft, Randy notices a duck getting dragged under the water by an unseen force, and urges his friends to swim to the raft faster. Once all four kids are on the raft, they manage to get a look at what it was that Randy's been worrying about: a large black blob reminiscent of an oil slick floating on the surface of the water. They also find out that the blob's hunger isn't limited to ducks when it latches onto Rachel, pulls her into the lake, and digests her alive. Now frightened out of their minds, and realizing that there's a very low chance they'll be rescued anytime soon, the remaining three kids are forced to stay on the raft, unless they want to be the blob's next meal. Adapted from a short story of the same name from Skeleton Crew."The Hitchhiker" — Annie Lansing (Lois Chiles) is a wealthy and spoiled woman who is cheating on her attorney husband George (Richard Park) with a gigolo. After a power outage resets the gigolo's alarm clock, Annie discovers that she has only 15 minutes until George gets home, and ends up in a race to beat him there so he won't get suspicious. After an ember from the cigarette she was smoking falls onto her lap, Annie loses control of her car and winds up running down an innocent hitchhiker (Tom Wright). Rather than stay and take responsibility for her act, Annie chooses to flee the scene the moment she sees other cars approaching. The other people who try to help the hitchhiker, including a couple, a trucker (Stephen King), and George (who reports the incident to the police) don't notice her as they try to help the hitchhiker, who has unfortunately died. After rationalizing her options, Annie is confident she got away undetected, but soon finds the hitchhiker she killed standing outside her car window, the undead man thanking her for the ride. Annie spends a good chunk of time navigating her car through the woods, being relentlessly pursued by the reanimated hitchhiker, who clings to the car whenever he can. She also tries to kill the hitchhiker herself, shooting him, running him over, and repeatedly slamming him into a tree. Unfortunately, while all of these tactics only cause him to become more and more mangled, they don't end up killing the hitchhiker, who really wants his ride. The film also has a partly-animated Framing Device featuring the Creep and a boy named Billy (whose shares a name with the boy in the first film) who has a run in with some bullies. | |

Adaptational Villainy: Randy. While he and Laverne started fondling each other in the short story, it was consensual and more a brief moment of stupidity when Laverne's hair got in the water. In the movie, he molests her while she's asleep, which leads to her getting killed. | |

Failed a Spot Check: The ending reveals that there was a "No Swimming" sign right next to the teens' car. It's somewhat justified since it was covered by bushes, but if the audience could reasonably see it, so could the teens. Then again, it's doubtful they would have heeded the warning. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Look carefully at Sam after he accidentally kills Martha.

Any remorse vanishes instantly when he murders Ray and shoots up the store. | |

Horrifying Hero: Old Chief Wood'nhead may be a living statue that brutally slaughters Sam Whitemoon and his cronies, but he is the hero of the story, and is dishing out justice to the punks responsible for killing his owners. | |

Mook Horror Show: Old Chief Wood'nhead's rampage is shown from the perspective of his victims, like a traditional slasher movie. The big difference here is that the "slasher" is the good guy. | |

Idiot Ball: For most of the segment, Randy is the only intelligent person around, taking immediate alarm of the blob when it first appears. Then he inexplicably turns into a rapist, groping Laverne as she sleeps and neglecting to look out for the blob. As a result of this action, Laverne is killed, and he follows suit a minute later. | |

Ambiguously Evil: The Creep. He looks like a warlock, lives in an ominous castle, cackles incessantly, and the comic book he distributes doubles as a catalogue for selling dangerous magical items to children. However, he doesn't do anything particularly evil himself, acts cordial to the audience when he addresses them between stories, and appears to show delight out of watching kids use the items his comic sells to get back at the people who wrong them. | |

Adaptational Dumbass | |
Creepshow 2 / int_86ae1278 | comment |
Adaptational Dumbass: All of the teens get this. They apparently miss the sign warning them to keep out of the lake, which wasn't there in the original short story. The story somewhat justifies it when Randy points out that it's the off-season and there's no caretaker on duty, and only a very small amount of people have summer homes on the lake, so no one is going to find them. In the film, Randy thinks it's a good idea to taunt the blob when he seems to have escaped it. In the book, he was reduced to begging when it swam under the raft to prevent him from sitting down. | |

Asshole Victim: Continuing from the first film, there are certainly quite a few victims worthy of supernatural vengeance. Sam and his goons in "Old Chief Wood'nhead", everyone except Rachel in "The Raft", and Annie in "The Hitchhiker", not to mention the bullies from the Framing Device. Really, the only people who ''don't count would be Ray and Martha, the kindly elderly couple who get murdered in the first segment. | |

Karmic Death: Sam is very vain about his hair in "Old Chief Wood'nhead". Care to guess how the Chief kills him? Randy in "The Raft" is fairly smart and likable up until he molests Laverne in her sleep instead of waking her up so she can be on guard against the blob, which directly leads to her death and keeps us from feeling sorry for him when the blob gets him, too. | |

Nice Guy: Ray is a pleasant, well-meaning, charitable, and ever-generous Good Samaratin who is always willing to put the needs of others before his own, and he gives the titular statue regular touch ups while making friendly conversation with it, treating the Chief like an old friend. His wife Martha is introduced as a pessimist who's a little rougher around the edges, but she eventually opens up and shares her husband's mindset once Benjamin gives them his peoples' treasured jewels as collateral. It's a real punch to the gut when Sam murders both of them in cold blood, but it also gives plenty of incentive for Old Chief Wood'nhead to go after the punks. | |

It Can Think | |
Creepshow 2 / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
It Can Think: The Blob Monster seems to have enough presence of mind to set ambushes for its victims, settling underneath the raft and squeezing itself between the logs, keeping said victims alert and wearing them down mentally and physically to make them easier to catch. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
Creepshow 2 / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: If the power hadn't gone out, Annie would have likely made it home before George did and never run down the hitchhiker. Similarly, she could've avoided the whole incident if she wasn't smoking and driving at the same time, as a cigarrette ember on her lap is what made her lose control of the car in the first place. | |

For his crimes, he's killed via a murder method that was common for his people to perform hundreds of years ago. | |

Good Samaritan | |
Creepshow 2 / int_eeb86ce6 | comment |
Good Samaritan: Ray, who always puts everyone else's needs before his own, even though he hardly ever gets anything in return. It's deconstructed a little when Martha reminds Ray that he continues to let people take advantage of his generosity even when they're nearly broke and their town is on its last legs, and urges him to consider closing the store and collecting whatever money they have left, so they'll have something to leave to their grandchildren. | |

Third Act Stupidity: Randy. For most of the segment, he's the only intelligent person around, taking immediate alarm of the blob when it first appears. Near the end, he decides to molest Laverne in her sleep rather than wake her up so she can be on guard, leading to the blob getting her. Even when he manages to swim to the shore, he sits only six inches out of the water and taunts the blob, even though he's watched it reach out to kill all the other teens. | |
