Why didn't George A. Romero direct Creepshow 2?
George A. Romero, who directed the original 1982 Creepshow, was busy with other projects and instead wrote the screenplay for the sequel. Michael Gornick, the cinematographer on the first film, took over directing duties.

Creepshow 2 has received Blu-ray releases, including a 2018 Scream Factory edition with new interviews and bonus features. A 4K release of the original Creepshow exists from Scream Factory, but a 4K of the sequel has not been widely issued.
How does Creepshow 2 compare to the original Creepshow?
Creepshow 2 is generally considered inferior to the 1982 original, with only three segments versus the original's five. Critics felt the sequel lacked the polish of Romero's direction and Tom Savini's effects work, though 'The Raft' is widely praised as the standout segment.
