This movie had Zombie legend Romero and gore king Tom Savini teamed with the Horror icon Stephen King. Perfect unity. It has Kings great writing and story telling with Romero's camera work and Savini's effects. Wished they'd done more stuff together.

...Because at the age of 9 seeing the creeper outside your window smiling at night always makes you feel safe and cozy enough to smile back... because seeing him brings happiness to your heart... and that laughter.... Such loving and warm laughter....

[@godzillavkk]

@@Sancsteq Do you remember Latin American debt crisis? President Reagan wanting more nuclear missiles in Europe, envisioning the Star Wars defense system and the "Evil Empire" speech reflecting the "Red Scare" at a time "the Bomb" was still making everybody nervous. The Cold War, Berlin Wall and Apartheid did fall, but only near the end of the decade. Unemployment and economic crisis were a huge problem in many Western countries in the early years of the decade and the high speculation led to a bubble which fatigued in 1987 and burst in 1989. AIDS caused many victims because governments were slow to inform the general public on this disease as most people at first dismissed as just a problem for blacks, gays and drug users. TV shows and movies were extremely escapist and PCs and video games were prohibitively expensive. MTV did bring music videos on TV, but the downside was that how a pop star looked and danced became more important than the music, which was now created by computers, becoming increasingly sappy and repetitive as samples became the norm, becoming a disadvantage for those who still wanted to use actual instruments, chords and tunes. Metal and rap were seen as crime-mongering and even "satanic" as a whole. Also drugs went artificial during this time, turning Florida into a Crapsaccharine World. The nuclear power plant explosion in Chernobyl caused another major fear among people about the dangers of nuclear power.

"All that horror crap?" *Son's room has posters of classic horror movies, toys, and ornaments.*

[@SouthJerseySam]

Well, most of that stuff was old-fashioned horror. It's the basis of what the comic features that set him off. Hell, he even describes what happens and it's more outlandish and crazy than the old fashioned style of horror and sci-fi that's shown in his son's bedroom. Hell, it's parallel to the critical reaction parents and focus groups had with E.C.'s comics like Tales from the Crypt.

[@sha11235]

I think that was good horror there, according to the father. The horror in the comic book he thought was worthless junk.

Proud to say that this was the 3rd movie that I ever saw at the movies. First Empire Strikes Back, then E. T., and then Creepshow. Top 10v horror movie of the 80s, if not all-time. The only other horro-anthology in its league was Tales From the Darkside almost a decade later. They don't make 'em like this anymore. The DVD opens like this; no title screens or ads, just the suburban house and the keyboard.

[@kaylaturnis9486]

I love Creepshow! There is now a series based on the 1982 classic with new, spine chilling tales! The season 2 episode, " The Model Kid" reminds me a lot of the opening and ending credits of the movie!

[@masterdback2778]

lol true

[@waynemacfarland1546]

I know this is just a movie, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for the kid, because I think the dad went way overboard on this one. He took away his son's comic book, because it had a lot of shit in it that may not have been suitable for boys his age, that's understandable, but couldn't the dad at least have tried to talk to his son in a more calm way, and explain to him why he had to do this? Because the dad really isn't teaching his son anything by bullying him. In fact, he might be doing the opposite. Making his own son hate him often leads to the son rebelling, like he does in the end. Anyway, my point is don't act aggressively towards your children, otherwise they will hate you.

[@LordProteus]

Love that retro horror theme. I always thought that they should have saved The Crate for last, though.

[@frankie3987]

I vaguely remember (may be wrong) as a kid "The Crate" was the last tale shown because it was edited for time on TV.

@@frankie3987 Yeah, they cut the cockroach thing on TV, so the Crate would be the last story (the big one).
