Creepshow

Dir. George A. Romero. 1982, 120 mins. 35mm. With Stephen King, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Tom Atkins. Two masters of horror—director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King—teamed up at the heights of their careers to present five frightful tales in the tradition of the infamous EC horror and crime comics of the 1940s and ’50s. With its colorful pop-art palette, dark humor, and impressive makeup and prop effects bringing beasts, zombies, and creepy crawlers to terrifying life, Creepshow remains one of the most beloved horror cult classics of the ’80s. It’s the most fun you’ll ever have being scared!
