help Creepshow FAQ
How many stories are in the 1982 Creepshow film?
Creepshow contains five main horror tales framed by scenes involving a boy named Billy and his comic book. The segments include Father's Day, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill, Something to Tide You Over, The Crate, and They're Creeping Up on You!
Did Stephen King write and act in Creepshow?
Stephen King wrote the screenplay and plays the doomed farmer Jordy Verrill in one segment. His son Joe King, later known as author Joe Hill, appears as Billy in the framing story.
Why does Creepshow look like a horror comic?
Director George A. Romero and effects artist Tom Savini use colored lighting, illustrated transitions, panel-like compositions, and comic-book captions. The visual approach pays tribute to 1950s EC horror comics such as Tales from the Crypt.
Is Creepshow connected to Creepshow 2 and the television series?
Creepshow 2 followed in 1987 with three new stories based on Stephen King material. Shudder later launched a Creepshow anthology series in 2019 that preserves the comic-book format without continuing the film's individual plots.
