The special makeup effects for Creepshow were all done by makeup effects master Tom Savini, Jen. He appears at the end of Creepshow as the garbageman with the mustache. Savini worked with George Romero on several projects, including Creepshow, Knightriders, Dawn of the Dead, Day of The Dead, and Monkey Shines. He also did the effects work for Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, as well as Maniac, The Burning, and The Prowler. Savini also directed the Night of the Living Dead remake.

Oh wow, I've been waiting for this. It's my absolute favorite movie and has been for decades. It has the perfect blend of horror/suspense/comedy, and it doesn't take itself very seriously (except when it wants to scare you) I have a bunch of little bits of trivia I've found about the movie but I'll just give one per segment. Opening - The kid in the beginning was played by Stephen King's son. At one point during filming he took him to McDonalds, and had him made up with bruises and a black eye, and someone called the cops on him for child abuse. Father's Day - The marble ashtray used to kill the father shows up in all of the other segments. Jordy Verrill - Yup, that's Stephen King. And the only other characters are played by the same guy who plays his father, adding some subtext to his imagination. Something to Tide You Over - The actress who played the wife is Gaylen Ross, who played the female lead in Romero's "Dawn Of The Dead" The Crate - The creature was nicknamed by the SFX folks "Fluffy" Creeping Up On You - The roaches were so expensive that they almost didn't make this segment, but they found the money (went overbudget because of it) and in the final scene they used raisins in place of some of the roaches to make it look like there were much more in the room. Epilogue - The garbageman with the mustache is none other than Tom Savini, the legendary SFX artist, who did the SFX for this movie. So glad you've done this movie, and I hate to keep repeating myself, but your choices in horror movies have been great! If you haven't seen them yet, I'd recommend a couple of Romero's other movies - "Day Of The Dead" and "Martin". Have a good Halloween!

I'm glad you finally got to Creepshow, Jen! 😀 Creepshow is based on the old EC Comics from the 1950s like Tales From The Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear. Due to a book by by Dr. Fredric Wertham called "The Seduction of the Innocent," which accused comic books of promoting juvenile delinquency, there was a conservative backlash against comic books regarding their content, resulting in the Comics Code to be enforced, and EC Comics was put out of business. Stephen King and George Romero created Creepshow as an homage to the EC horror comics of the 1950s.

That tilted angle is called a Dutch angle, Jen, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle. It's a type of camera shot which involves setting the camera at an angle on its roll axis so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the camera frame. It was first used extensively during the German expressionist movement in cinema.

Horror based comic books like this were very popular back in the early 50's until a psychiatrist named Fredrick Werham published a book call the "Seduction of Inocence" in which he claimed that comics were directly responsible for a rise in juvenile delinquency, which lead to the development of the comic code authority, which resulted in censorship of comics and pretty much the end of horror comics. The belief that horror comics lead to juvenile delinquency is what motives the fathers reaction to his son reading the comic.

Anthology horror films like “Creepshow” were once quite common, particularly in the 1960s and ‘70s. Examples would include: “Tales of Terror” (1962); “Twice Told Tales (1963); “Black Sabbath” (1963); “Tales From The Crypt” (1972), not to be confused with the 1990s “Tales From The Crypt” TV-series; “Vault of Horror” (1973); “From Beyond The Grave” (1974); “Trilogy of Terror” (1975); “Dead of Night” (1977); “Cat’s Eye” (1985). But there have been more such films made in recent years, perhaps most notably “V/H/S” (2012) and “V/H/S 2” (2013), which crosses anthology horror with the “found footage” genre.

Even had Adrienne Barbeau(Billy)in the first episode. Jen:"I don't like bugs." Me:"Then this will NOT be a pleasant experience for you!" You just won yourself a subscriber!

Below another commenter told you that Creepshow is based off of EC comics from the 1950's which were forced to end before Congress stepped in. There was an EC comic that continues to this day: Mad Magazine. Mad started in comic book size and was originally called Panic. Mad ceased news stand distribution in 2018 but, is still available via subscription and direct market sales (comic book shops). Also - the cockroaches were very real. They were collected in South America in bat caves. How they were collected was by digging a hole, placing a large trash can with a liner in the hole and making the cave dark. When the lights were turned back on the bag would be full of roaches! They continued this process until they had all that they needed. Tom Savini did the special effects for Creepshow. If you watched/watched Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead (original), The Prowler, etc you'll see more of his work. :)

Billy was played by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. Hill grew up to be a writer as well, and among other things, he's the curator of a line of horror comics published by DC Comics called Hill House Comics. At the time the movie was released they also put out a comic book adaptation of it. So it was a comic that was based on a movie that was an homage to comics. Horror was a very popular genre in comics, but as parents began freaking out about horror comics (and comics in general), the publishers created the Comics Code Authority, which laid out a bunch of rules about what could and couldn't appear in comics. Horror comics stuck around for a long time after that, but htey were defanged and considerably more tame than the classic EC horror comics had been. Horror comics are still popular, but not anywhere near the levels they were in the 1950s. (Though that's true of comics in general.)

(also I'd avoid the other Creepshow 3 - since Stephen King, George Romero and anyone else that worked on Creepshow 1 & 2 had nothing to do with 3, it super low budget, it doesn't follow the same format, the stories are not good at all in my opinion as well as the effect are bad - not in the good way, they look very cheap, which I'm not surprised with since it was a direct-to-video release)...

Made for TV show 'Trilogy of Terror' (70's one) is a great film to react to. It scared me as a little kid and I saw all the 70's classics like Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, etc. It also has the great Karen Black.

This anthology film is based on EC Comics of the 1950s like 'Tales From the Crypt' and 'Vault of Horror' as well as Warren Comics of the 1960s like 'Creepy' and 'Eerie'. The anthology horror film is a sub-genre of horror. Many productions by Amicus, the competitor to Brit horror studio Hammer, were anthology films. There is an excellent sequel called 'Creepshow 2'. The Crate story from this movie terrified me as a kid! I had to flee the room and yank open a window to gasp for air when I first saw it! Lol. It doesn't bother me now but something about it triggered me back then. For more Leslie Nielsen served up straight, check out the science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet". Another horror suggestion: "The Ruins"

Five of the best horror shorts, ever. I have a hard time complaining about other anthologies (CAT'S EYE or CREEPSHOW 2) because, well, I can't imagine five segments ever topping these five. Which is fine. Two or three would be nice... sigh... EG Marshall (bugs) and Vivica Lindfors (birthday cake) were well-done investments to make this an instant classic, I thought as classic film actors themselves. Adrienne Bahboom (er, Barbeau) hadn't played such a miserable female before but she fit SO well. And Hal Holbrook had been a servicable TV and supporting cast member for a couple of decades until he was issuing follow-the-money directions in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and then as the fed-up corrupt police leader in MAGNUM FORCE. I thought this segment THE CRATE was a top-notch addition - what a grand performance.

From what I remember reading back in the 80s they were trying to turn Creepshow into a TV series but as with most things the rights were held by another company and it evolved into Tales from the Darkside. I used to watch it, Monsters and Friday the 13th the series (which has nothing to do with the movies or Jason) every weekend as a kid

Leslie Nielsen was more recognized as a serious actor from the 1950s-1970s. His comedy "career" started with Airplane! in 1980, 25 years into his actual acting career. And since you seem to have a strong aversion to insects, you should add "Joe's Apartment" (1996) and "The Nest" (1988) to your list of films to react to.

Even though most Stephen King stories are set in Maine, George Romero prefers to film in and near his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he filmed Night of the Living Dead. Most of the film was shot in an empty all-girls school located outside Greensburg, Pennsylvania. The school was converted into a film studio, and the episodes "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" and "They're Creeping Up on You", as well as the prologue and epilogue, were filmed in their entirety at the former school. Filming took place at the Greensburg location throughout 1981. In "The Crate," most of the interior and exterior shots for the university sequences were filmed at Carnegie-Mellon University(Romero is a Carnegie-Mellon University alumnus), with Margaret Morrison Hall serving as Amberson Hall. The backyard party was filmed in Romero's own backyard at his former residence on Amberson Avenue in Shadyside, Pennsylvania. "Father's Day" was filmed on location at a mansion in the Pittsburgh suburb of Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. "Something to Tide You Over" was filmed on location at Island Beach State Park, Berkeley Township, New Jersey.

Each of the stories in Creepshow are based on short stories published by Stephen King, except for one. Father's Day was an original story written by Stephen King specifically for the movie. The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill, The Crate, Something To Tide You Over, and They're Creeping Up On You are all based on short stories by Stephen King that were published in various magazines over the years.

I thought "The Crate" was the only short story that had been published at the time. The others, if they were written, were not published, as I remember. I was a Stephen King fanatic, had every book (including "Night Shift") and would hunt down short stories that were published ("The Monkey", for instance, came in a pamphlet that came in a Penthouse or Hustler magazine, if I remember correctly!). When I went into that movie, "The Crate" was the only story I was aware of.

@@TTM9691 Well, from what I understand, the other stories in Creepshow were short stories written by King that were published under different titles in various magazines. For example, ‘The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill' was originally published as ‘Weeds' when it was first written. I don't know what the other titles were, but I do know that Father's Day is the only Creepshow segment that was written specifically for the movie. I was surprised because I wasn't aware that there were any Stephen King short stories out there that didn't make it into Night Shift or Skeleton Crew.

I absolutely friggin' *love* this movie. At a time when Hollywood...and any amateur filmmaker who could scrape together a couple hundred bucks...kept choking movie audiences on a seemingly unending glut of slasher movies, it took the combined efforts of George Romero and Stephen King to give us something truly unique by paying homage to EC's horror comics of the 1950s!

There was a comic book adaptation of Creepshow and they actually used the text spoken by the "host" you see in the film at the transition to the next story in the comic book itself. There were sequels but they were all half hearted cash grabs that do not approach anywhere near the original.
