![]() ![]() The Creepshow format is a tribute to the EC and DC horror comics of the 1950s and the film practically brims with affection for them. Romero ( Night Of The Living Dead), the pair craft an anthology that can be a little uneven, but is full to the brim with affection not only for the horror genre, but for storytelling as an experience. It makes sense that King would jump at the chance to replicate this format in film, adapting two of his own stories and writing three more especially. Story anthologies are one of King’s own formats when it comes to his particular brand of storytelling, his novels punctuated by such collections throughout his career (adaptations of some will be popping up throughout this ‘revisiting’ series). Finally, a nasty businessman finds his hermetically sealed apartment slowly filling with cockroaches in They’re Creeping Up On You. ![]() Something To Tide You Over finds a vengeful man finding a particularly soggy way of getting even, while The Crate offers a unique, monster-shaped solution to his marital problems. In The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill, a country bumpkin comes across a fallen meteorite that contains voracious alien plantlife. Father’s Day sees a woman guilty of murdering her father on the titular celebration return to the scene of the crime, but she’s not the only one. ![]()
