Creepshow 1982 "Hell of a shot" Scene

[@finster1968]

Absolutely love Adrienne Barbeau! I met her at a convention around 2005. I told her I loved her work, but especially Creepshow. She was a bit embarrassed because she is the polar opposite of “Billy”. But she pretended to punch me in the gut while we were posing for a picture. She’s a great sport!

[@666MrFrost]

Hell yeah Billie's a great sport... why she didn't complain at all after her hubby went and blew her brains right out the back of her head... she just hushed right up and kept her big trap shut like a good little wife. Didn't even utter a single word... she just took a really long dirt nap right under the tree LOL!

[@themastermind8175]

Polar opposite of billy, thats crazy, shes does such a good job of being repulsive.

[@robertmorris8997]

Just call me Billy, everybody does.

[@prof.addicted3421]

she had really been a very attractive woman in Cannonball

[@col.greasebagmcqueen9933]

I had a crush on her when I was a kid. First saw her in Swampthing.

[@StuUngar]

When I was a kid, I didn’t understand why Henry wanted to shoot Wilma..... I totally get it now.

[@diamondheath2760]

Lol

[@one7decimal2eight]

she robbed of him of his solitude and provided him with no companionship.

[@mckenziehorton1150]

Lol

[@shadowbaby4312]

Same 😅

Anyone who’s ever been a relationship with a “billy” you have my condolences.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Holbrook.

[@michaelniel7523]

This movie is a masterpiece

[@dbodooley]

@@markwoollon what’s funny about that? This is a great horror movie. So underrated.

[@masterzombie161]

I agree, this movie has amazing actors, fantastic music, horrifying monsters, and Leslie Neilson. What’s not to love about this movie.

[@shawbros]

Amazing movie, but it's unbelievable how many people have never seen it before.

[@BolinasRoyalBurks]

Yup that’s what I said 👏🏾‼️✅

[@sharcam2010]

Falling asleep to this on a random Thursday afternoon while home sick from school is a core memory for me! I will always love Creepshow.

[@RealJasonFutch]

Hal Holbrook passed away on January 23, 2021 but the news just broke this morning. RIP Hal! Whether you were talking about Huck’s adventures or putting a bullet in Adrienne Barbeau’s head, you always had a way with movies! Thank you for everything!

[@robertmorris8997]

He was a good bad guy in Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood.

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

RIP Hal Holbrook 😔

[@patrickhicks9880]

He had a really good part in the movie into the wild

[@TrollHunterxXx]

Sad to hear … he was in Wall Street too 😢

[@casanovafrankenstein8538]

He was great in Fletch Lives

[@Marchant2]

I love Adrienne Barbeau even when she's unlikeable.

[@mindriot91_96]

She's wonderful, certainly underrated.

[@georgelockett7700]

Yeah,she was great on Maude.

[@Alzrad]

Yeah! She’s great

[@nadiakay7650]

I love her, so honest

[@nataliegillmore7436]

She did the voice of Catwoman in the batman animated series.

“Just call me billy, everyone does!” Freakin love it

[@PeyserConlee]

I absolutely love Hal Holbrook. No matter which role he plays, he just always brings such class and credibility to it.

[@We_Are_Borg_478]

I always felt the same. Wish I could've met him.

[@samcoral8061]

God bless him

[@finster1968]

He’s still alive. He only retired a couple of years ago from his Mark Twain road show. He’s 94. Not sure what type of shape he’s in, or if he would make public appearances anymore.

[@mrhob6355]

yes even in Fletch Lives he kept his dignity .

[@RealJasonFutch]

@@finster1968 he just passed away on January 23rd, but the news just broke. RIP Hal!

[@dbodooley]

This movie is so underrated. What a classic horror flick!

[@thisisgoodnews8043]

This was some really good character development for a short story.

[@robertmorris8997]

Movie making is a lost art.

[@okosuntom2808]

Having a wife like this is enough to give you high blood pressure

[@lisvender]

Hal Holbrook and Fritz Weaver are so damn good in this. They bring surprising depth to what could have been empty, generic characters. Henry is written as a downtrodden milquetoast, but Holbrook is able to show us that wily rage that's bubbling just below the surface. Dexter isn't as deep a character, but Weaver hints at the insecurity and compassion hiding behind the professorial charm. Of course, his freakout is amazing too. It may be an arch horror story, but these old pros turn it into something special.

[@lisvender]

Thank you! I don't know one thing about acting myself; I'm just obsessed with this movie :)

[@joshuatunis6732]

lisvender good observations

[@michaelniel7523]

Totally agree

[@finster1968]

Lisvender - well said. I’ve always felt exactly the same way about this match up. They are brilliant together.

[@ObscuredByTime]

Major props to the two actors delivering the lines, "Hell of a shot," and "Bullseye." Just expertly delivered. 4 seconds of great acting. Watch that specific moment 3 times straight, and you'll know what I mean.

[@RonaldRaiden]

I also love the way he nods when he realizes that he's being congratulated right before that 🤣🤣🤣 the scene is so twisted. That one guy in the brown suit with the moustache was a connoisseur

[@chizorama]

Set up by the golf clap...

[@MattIvey]

I got to meet Adrienne yesterday! She's the BEST!!

[@nickleization]

Rest in peace Hal Holbrook... a great actor and a wonderful human being. "Everything's just fine." -Henry Northrup, 1982

No, just my old boss

[@davidlopan7633]

"Helluva shot". "Bulls eye".

Amazingly delivered. Those two steal the scene.

[@sir-giggles-alot14]

I'm here to remember Hal Holbrook. Rest in peace.

[@ZootWorld1]

RIP Hal Holbrook, this was the very first thing that came to my mind when I heard he died.

That was a hell of a shot.

symbolism is so strong in this movie. the dark humor so morbid yet so original

[@ThunderPants13]

I used to work at a bookstore and Adrienne Barbeau did a signing there when her book Vampyres of Hollywood came out. She signed a copy for me and we chatted. Nice lady.

[@emlmm88]

The idea that academics _have_ friends and spouses - that's the real fiction here.

[@EarthAngel504]

I LOVED Billy,, she played the Sh*t!! out of that role.

[@AmesGaltine]

Adrienne Barbeau, great actress. She was married to John Carpenter during the 80s, so she had horror movie connections!

[@putthemoneyinthebagunclebe6367]

The sound track is amazing till this day.

[@santoscortez223]

I always loved not only does he imaging popping his loud wife but also that he gets a golf clap and praise for his clean headshot lol love this movie

[@KyleShiflet13666]

Kinda awesome that Hal is using a .44 magnum since he was the villain in Magnum Force which was the second Dirty Harry film

[@mignon1180]

This scene always gets me 😂😂

[@Right_Said_Brett]

As a man who once dated an abusive sociopath (for two years), this scene is a wonderful fantasy.

Kind of reminds me of 'Whos afraid of Virginia Wolf' College professor with a loud, drunken wife.

I thought the same, and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" is such an AMAZING film!
