The first of three Creepy films and a TV show-Tales form the Darkside, the first hails a stellar performance from Leslie 'Drebin' Nielsen and a few unexpected appearances.
Plot: Creepshow is a homage to the ghoulish tales of the comic book 1950's, with corpses rising thick and fast wherever you care to look. From a reanimated daddy with a cake fetish to an early version of The Vanishing with Ted Danson this time and even an appearance from Stephen King himself, as a dumb 'hick' who becomes over-run with plant life from outer space.
Creepshow has merit in a variety of ways, mainly that it was directed by Zombie lover George A. Romero and even had gore effects guru Tom Savini.
Budget: $8,000,000
Gross: $21,028,755
Fun Fact: The little boy at the beginning who gets slapped is Stephen Kings son, Joe (Joe Hill as he's known).
A remake is currently in production...possibly in 3D! Sweet.
