PROLOGUE:
Billy Hopkins (Joe King, Stephen King' son), a young boy, gets disciplined by his abusive father Stan (Tom Atkins, "The Fog") for reading Creepshow, a horror comic. Not wanting his son to be exposed to the comic's content, Stan throws it in the garbage. As Billy sits upstairs, wishing that his father rots in Hell, he hears a sound at the window. The source of the noise turns out to be the Creep (Tom Savini, who also did the special make-up effects), the host of the comic book, who beckons him to come closer and removes the trash can's lid.
"Father's Day"
Sylvia Grantham (Carrie Nye) meets her nephew Richard (Warner Shook) and niece Cass (Elizabeth Regan), along with Cass's new husband Hank Blaine (Ed Harris in an early role) at the Grantham estate for the family's annual dinner on the third Sunday in June. They proceed to tell Hank about the family matriarch, Great Aunt Bedelia (Viveca Lindfors), and of how it is an open secret in the family that she murdered her late father: the miserly and domineering Nathan Grantham (Jon Lormer) who had accumulated the family's fortune through bootlegging, fraud, extortion, and murder-for-hire.......
"The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill"
Jordy Verrill (Stephen King), a comedic and dim-witted backwoods yokel, watches as a meteorite crash lands on his farm. Observing the crash site, Jordy gets his fingers burned when he tries to touch the meteorite. In a fantasy sequence, Jordy imagines selling the meteorite to the local college's "Department of Meteors", hoping that the sale will provide enough money to pay off a $200 bank loan. Taking precautions, he douses the meteorite with a bucket of water, causing it to crack open and spill a glowing blue liquid.......
"Something to Tide You Over"
Richard Vickers (Leslie Nielsen) is a vicious and heartless millionaire whose spry jocularity belies his cold-blooded and murderous nature. He visits Harry Wentworth (a pre-"Cheers" Ted Danson), the man with whom his wife Becky is having an affair. Richard mentions that he and Becky never shared any actual affection, but such is beside the issue; Richard's point of honor is always keeping what's "his", a rule that he enforces no matter what.
"The Crate"
Mike Latimer, a janitor at Horlicks University, drops a quarter he was flipping which rolls behind a grate under a basement staircase. While attempting to retrieve the coin, he comes across a wooden storage crate marked "Ship to Horlicks University via Julia Carpenter - Arctic Expedition - June 19, 1834" hidden underneath the staircase. He calls Professor Dexter Stanley (Fritz Weaver) to notify him of the discovery, drawing Dexter away from a faculty social gathering. Also at the gathering are Dexter's best friend, the mild-mannered Professor Henry Northrup (Hal Holbrook), and Henry's perpetually drunk, obnoxious, and emotionally-abusive wife Wilma "Billie" (Adrienne Barbeau), who has a penchant for embarrassing herself, belittling her husband, and annoying or insulting everybody she meets. Henry regularly fantasizes about killing his horrific wife, but is far too timid to actually go through with it.......
"They're Creeping Up On You!"
Upson Pratt is a ruthlessly cruel business mogul who suffers from mysophobia, which has rendered him living in a hermetically-sealed penthouse apartment outfitted with electric locks and surveillance cameras. His apparent contacts with the outside world are through the telephone and are primarily made to put-upon employees. Pratt slowly begins finding cockroaches around his apartment. Being a fanatical insect hater, Pratt arms himself with bug spray in an attempt to combat the insects, but they will soon overpower him.......
Epilogue
The next morning, two garbage collectors find the Creepshow comic book on the curb. They look at the ads in the book for X-ray specs and a Charles Atlas bodybuilding course. They also see the advertisement for the voodoo doll that was briefly glimpsed earlier, but lament that the order form has already been redeemed. Inside the Hopkins house, Stan complains to his wife that he is suffering from a stiff neck, figuring that he must have strained it. Upstairs, Billy is revealed to have sent away for the voodoo doll, and has decorated it with a piece of his father's clothing and some of his hair. Stan clutches his throat in pain as Billy repeatedly and gleefully jabs the voodoo doll with a pin, finally getting revenge on his father for his abuse.
