So glad you saw this one! This is George Romero's most stylized film and just a great time at the movies. Stephen King was the farmer who turned into grass, in his biggest role to date. I was lucky enough to study under Viveca Lindfors , "Aunt Bedelia" (who really should have given her dad that cake) and I always smile when I see her in this, she was a kind, wonderful and talented lady.

Leslie Neilsen was type cast as a villain for the majority of his career. When he was cast as the lead in the original Police Squad, critics were all "Leslie Neilsen can't do comedy!" Then his whole career got a new life to it, and he's been know for being a comedic actor ever since.

[@nsasupporter7557]

RIP Leslie Neilsen… the Naked Gun was good old fashioned slapstick comedy

[@DanielTate-wt9jt]

He did comedy in Airplane which was years before Naked Gun.

[@ShadowSonic2]

He was either a romantic lead (Like in Forbidden Planet) or a bad guy, then he did "Airplane!" and that revived him as a comedy actor

[@Cbcw76]

He was Francis Marion THE SWAMP FOX in Disney's TV mini-series of the same name - an heroic figure in the Revolutionary War found in the southern coastal communities. His first feature film he was The Reporter in Glenn Ford's original version of RANSOM (young boy kidnapped from rich parents). But on TV, Leslie was sometimes cast a villain (or The villain) in episodes. He did a couple of villain roles in COLUMBO episodes but his career was dwindling, then he appeared in AIRPLANE and producers realized they could use him as a straight-man in absurd comedies. What a great thing after that!

[@richardb6260]

Neilsen appeared in Airplane! before he did Police Squad (in color). That's where he began his comedy career. The writer/directors cast a number of dramatic actors (Neilsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges) because they wanted them to deliver their lines like they would in dramatic roles. Neilsen wasn't always cast as villains. He began as a leading man and romantic interest in films like Forbidden Planet and Tammy and the Bachelor. He also starred as Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion in Disney's The Swamp Fox. He did play a lot of villain of the week roles on shows like The Man from UNCLE, Wild Wild West, and Columbo. Neilsen continued to do mostly dramtic roles even after Airplane!. It wasn't until the success of The Naked Gun that he started to do comedy exclusively.

I’ll disagree with your first point-I hated the bad acting so much I never returned to this one-but am willing to accept that I just saw it as bad and not wonderfully campy. I much prefer King behind the keyboard versus in front of the camera.

[@barret-xiii]

Yes, those were indeed real roaches. According to Romero, they payed something like $.50 per roach, and used about 250,000 of them. Fun fact, when Tom Savini, who hates bugs with a passion, worked on that segment; so when he noticed on on his hand, he TELEPORTED across the room, having freaked out momentarily and completely lost all recollection of traversing the distance.

[@masterjoelnathan]

Actually that's just a hypothetical; Romero stated that's the cost if you wanted to buy bugs off a catalogue for filming. But 50cents per NY roach would've been steep. So he went the more economical route and got two entomologists to go to Trinidad where roaches could be found in batcaves living in feces. Hence why a lot of this roaches (the larger ones with the weird patterns) don't look like an average roach, it's cause they're not from the US.

[@barret-xiii]

@@masterjoelnathan Yup. Also I think another source stated that for the MASSIVE swarm shots (like the huge pile flooding the sealed bedroom) they bolstered the numbers with plastic toy bugs and/or dried fruits.

[@alexspindler1]

I don't think I'll ever be as happy or proud for you when you were geeking out during the credits at the incredible talent behind the scenes. You've arrived Kat! : D

[@MAMoreno]

This film was inspired by classic EC Comics series such as The Vault of Horror, The Haunt of Fear, and Tales from the Crypt. A year after this film came out, George Romero would create the syndicated TV series Tales from the Darkside as a sort of follow-up to Creepshow. That series would get its own film, which is also an anthology horror movie with a wraparound segment. In fact, the TFTD film would feature a segment that had been intended for Creepshow II, and Tom Savini regards it as essentially another Creepshow sequel.

[@corvus1970]

Ah, excellent. I hoped someone would explain this before I had to. :D

[@ShadowSonic2]

They tried to make Creepshow into a TV show but couldn't, so they made Tales from the Darkside the series...which was popular enough it convinced HBO to make the Tales from the Crypt TV show...and now there's a proper Creepshow TV show. Nice cycle, huh?

[@michelegraham1181]

Do you think Kat would like "Tales from the Crypt" from the 1970s?

[@MAMoreno]

@@michelegraham1181 Perhaps. And if she did, it might be a gateway into other Amicus anthology films, which would then open the door for Hammer horror...

[@josheldridge8546]

incidentally, both tales from the crypt and the vault of horror got film adaptations as part of Amicus Pictures' "omnibus" cycle -- a film company that produced mostly horror anthologies in the 1970s.

[@ravenwind1062]

The marble ashtray can be seen in all the sequences. This is also true for the new Creepshow TV series on Shudder. Yes, they made the comic to go along with the movie but it did come afterwards. The roaches are real, they were brought in from Brazil, something like 50,000 of them. They were the single most expensive thing on the movie. There is artwork of the wife making the last call to Pratt in his "safe" room. She is surrounded by witchcraft paraphernalia implying she cast a curse on him to cause this, but it was never shown in the movie. Tom Savinni is the skinny garbage man with the mustache seen at t he end. Creepshow 2 is ok but not as great. Tick'R'Treat (which I think you already watched) is the real Creepshow 2.

[@xombiekat13]

Well, except for "the Raft". That part alone makes C2 worth a viewing, imo. I do wish they'd make a Trick'R'Treat 2!

[@ShadowSonic2]

@@xombiekat13 I dunno, I kind of liked the segment about the Indian Chief Statue

[@terrycoolidge9511]

⁠@@xombiekat13”The Raft” is certainly the best of the three stories in “Creepshow 2,” but “Old Chief Wood’nhead” pushes some buttons. The animated interstitials are also fun. So not hard to cast part two as “inferior” to the original, but part two is still worthwhile. Hopefully Kat reacts to it at some point. For more 80’s practical effects goodness she needs to check out “The Howling” and “Fright Night.” For scares and screams she needs to check out “What Lies Beneath.” I can’t wait! 😈

[@dethwizard]

Creepshow 2 is Vastly underrated.

[@rdp16rulez]

​​@@dethwizard Creepshow 2 is totally underrated. I kinda wish that Jordy Verill or Creeping Up was in part 2 just to balance the two films better but I unabashedly love them both. No one acknowledges Creepshow 3 and frankly we shouldn't as no one from the first two were involved. It's also reportedly terrible, and not in a good way. Which is why as I understand it Tales from the Darkside The Movie is considered the true part 3 as it fits the format better and Stephen King wrote part of it. And of course the TV series is fantastic.

[@jhornacek]

It still amazes me the cast that a Stephen King/George Romero movie was able to assemble for what is basically a monster movie. Hal Holbrook, Fitz Weaver, Leslie Nielsen, and E.G. Marshall were respected dramatic actors at the time. We even got a young Ed Harris!

[@webdrude]

MATCH LORE! matches use two chemicals to ignite, most matches these days are what they used to call "safety matches" that have one chemical on the match-head and the other on the side of the box.

I was so happy to see you watch this! Yes, we are a very cool club. I watched a documentary or a segment on the making of this movie, and I remember George A. Romero stating that many of the cockroaches were actually raisins because they couldn't control/afford that many cockroaches. He said that they had a roach wrangler on set that swears that the guy would talk to the roaches, tell them what to do, and that they would follow his instructions to the letter. I think they also mentioned that roaches still showed up on the soundstage for months after that segment was filmed. You caught a lot of details that I've never noticed before, and I have seen this many times. If you liked this, you should watch Cat's Eye. It's only three stories, and there aren't many practical effects, but it's a fun watch.

Here's some fun "Crate" trivia: The crate creature's nickname during production was "Fluffy.". And Fluffy's crate has made multiple appearances in other movies and TV shows such as The Walking Dead, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, and the 2019 Creepshow TV series. "The Crate" was based on one of Stephen King's uncollected short stories published in Gallery magazine in 1979. In the story, a shipping label on the crate makes it clear that that the "Arctic" expedition was actually an _Antarctic_ expedition, which took place in 1834, when the two poles were referred to as the "North Arctic" and the "South Arctic." So "The Crate" could be seen as an _homage_ to H.P. Lovecraft's horror novel At the Mountains of Madness. Except the Miskatonic Antarctic expedition took place in the year 1930. So 100 years before that, someone found Fluffy in Antarctica and shipped him to the States. Is it possible that Fluffy is.... well, a shoggoth? One more thing: the events of the short story take place at the same time as the events in King's novel Christine, and in the same part of Pennsylvania. In Christine, both of Arnie Cunningham's parents are professors at (the fictional) Horlicks University, which is the setting for "The Crate." A character in Christine mentions the recent disappearance of Mike, the janitor who gets eaten by Fluffy. Now I don't know how interesting this all is but now that you've read it, you're stuck with it.

His full name is Joseph Hillstrom King, but he shortened it to avoid nepotism, and wanted to earn notoriety in his own right. I highly recommend _Heart-Shaped Box_ , _NOS4A2_ , _20th Century Ghosts_ , and the _Locke and Key_ series.

You must be JoeKing 😬

😂😂😂 Kat referring to Jordy Verril: "Poor guy.. He's gonna be The Grinch in no time!" 😂😂😂 I cannot believe I had never once thought of that myself in all these years I've repeatedly watched this! ❤😂

[@Whitebrowpriest]

If you notice this shot (16:00) at the end of the story that Stephen King starred in, the road sign that says "Castle Rock 5"? That was a nod to King's favorite creepy town in Maine. He had written many short stories based in that town. Ironically, years later, Hulu developed a horror series called "Castle Rock", which was based on many of King's short stories and novels that were set in favorite town in Maine. Just some trivia I thought I'd share with you Kat! By the way, I love your reaction to this movie! This was always one of my favorite horror movies growing up in the 80s. :)

[@Fardawg]

That isn't ironic at all. King created Castle Rock; it isn't a real town. And even if it was a real town, it still would not be "ironic" that they created a show set in the town.

[@ZavaXavier]

​@@FardawgYour comment doesn't make any sense.

[@doktor_ghul]

The cockroaches were all real if you saw them moving around. The movie had bug wranglers who went to South America and got the biggest, nastiest ones they could dig out of caves full of bat guano. To do Upson Pratt vomiting roaches, Tom Savini and his crew did a full cast mold of E.G. Marshall, then rigged it with a huge push tube up into the mouth and another up out of the chest, so the roaches could be pushed out. Some of the cave roaches were bigger than a computer mouse. For huge mounds of roaches, like in Pratt's bed, they made a pile of brown nuts, chestnuts, and other brown shapes, then covered that with a layer of real roaches.

[@paull4048]

This one is perfect for Kat…fun and not too scary! Love it!

[@adman1381]

A Halloween tradition!

[@albertjimeno5315]

Wut. The yeti segment is pretty flippin terrifying, legit.

[@dougschramm5506]

Creepshow is an homage to horror comics of the 1950s published by EC Comics, such as Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear. Following the publication of the book, ‘Seduction of the Innocent' by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham in 1954, where he accused comic books of promoting juvenile delinquency in minors, many comic book companies were hit with censorship rules by conservative politicians in the U.S. government, and EC Comics ended up going out of business as a result.

[@brucebezold2714]

The only comic left was MAD

[@tbessie]

A friend of mine from high school worked on the special effects for that movie, and was in the plant suit at the end when he shot himself in the head.

[@MST3KNJ]

So glad you loved Creepshow. It is the best horror anthology to this day. Just so much fun. I strongly recommend Creepshow 2, by the way.

[@proto-geek248]

The Raft 🥺

[@Gary9ine]

WOW!!! Your videos didnt pop up on my feed all of october and i just noticed i wasn't subscribed. I thought i was but i guess not. I am now! super excited for your terrifier video, I'm watching that next

[@bekindandrewind1422]

33:20 -- Everyone's favorite line... "Just tell it to call you Billy....."

[@BlackavarWD]

34:40 a bunch of chains on a WOOD box is like a bunch of deadbolts on a door next to a glass window. Safety is an illusion. 😅

[@BlackavarWD]

Are you really gonna do all of Stephen King movies?! I can't wait for *CUJO!* (and *Maximum Overdrive* and *The Langoliers* will be SO FUNNY!) 😂

[@Jay_delachance]

What's everyone's ranking of the stories? Mine would probably be: 3, 4, 5, 1, 2. Although I might switch Creeping with Father's Day. 3- Something to Tide You Over 4- The Crate 5- They're Creeping Up on You! 1- Father's Day 2- The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill I'm guessing Kat would have Tide first because of Leslie Nielsen and Creeping last, because of the poor roaches being abused. 😁

[@Stone8roke]

The Crate is definitely my favourite, but I love the dread of Something to tide you over. Its probably the one with the best dialogue.

[@Jay_delachance]

@@Stone8roke Yes and you gotta love Leslie Nielsen as a villain. What a diabolical way to off someone, and taping it too to relive the enjoyment. Makes me wish he would have done a lot more non comedic roles.

[@ravenwind1062]

Crate (I have a life-sized replica in my game room) Jordy (I love his ridiculously simplistic view of the world. And1 I want to work in the Dept. of Meteors, buying meteors from people.) Father's Day/Tide you over ( these tie for me) Creep up on you you

[@adman1381]

5 is the very best one.

[@Stone8roke]

@@Jay_delachance It one of his best roles, he looks like he's having the time of his life as well.

[@TTM9691]

This might be the greatest reaction to Creepshow, from beginning to end, they should put this on the DVD as a bonus feature!!!! Did someone explain to you about the roaches yet? I will tell all if no one else has come forward! I agree 100% with your rating and your reactions 100%. Saw this in the theater when it came out, at the height of Stephen King-mania. Same year as Poltergeist and The Thing. Best year for horror movies since 1931! It's my favorite horror movie directed by a director who only did horror movies. (All my other favorites are from directors who only did one or two horror films.....but did them at an extremely high level of cinema, ie Kubrick, Phillip Kaufman, Polanski, Friedkin, Landis, etc.) LOVED THIS REACTION! Possibly my favorite reaction on your channel yet! Great edit also!!!

[@michaelnolan6951]

Hi Kat! This is the first time anybody has told me that I am in a "cool club." That's actually hilarious! I love this cheesy movie, with it's many horror references!

[@gswithen]

Yes. Real roaches. A lot of them. They pumped them through a giant syringe through a dummy of E.G. Marshall. These were all King ideas or stories. Weeds and The Crate were previously published. The comic book was published around the time the film was released. This was an homage to the horror comics if the 1950s including Tales from the Crypt (later to be a TV series on HBO). There were also two British films made in the 1970s called Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror.

[@bigp3006]

You always deliver. Your joy was felt. The sequel is as good as this one IMO. I'll just keep throwing out suggestions. One you might enjoy is "The Lair Of The White Worm" it almost isn't horror, but it is, well done movie. Thanks again and look forward to more!

[@ZavaXavier]

It's a strange film but I always hated the ending.

[@bigp3006]

It was a bit bizarre, kinda wish they would do a sequel, or a remake.

[@codyt.346]

I was scrolling forever on KZbin. Now I know I hit gold!

[@najwaflowers8038]

This reaction was priceless ❤

[@Joshu_Y]

I recall not being allowed to watch this as a kid, but finding an actual graphic novel movie tie-in at the bookstore and reading that anyway...and being scared out of my mind. Probably scarier and more traumatizing than the actual movie that way! Thanks Mom and Dad! 😂👍

[@Thehorrortheterror]

That's funny. This was the first "R" rated film I was allowed to watch! My mom had seen it and was telling me all about it and said I should watch it. I'm like, "OKAY!" I was allowed to watch an "R" rated movie at twelve years old? Hell yeah! She recorded it for me on tape and I loved it! However, the tape ran out just at the end of "The Crate." So I grew up never having seen the whole complete movie. I was in my twenties before I finally saw the final segment!

[@willdallas53]

You don’t see any boobies on a raft in the first creep show. That’s the real horror of this movie.

[@keithrussell6766]

Making a creepy comment about a nonconsensual scene to a person on their KZbin channel.... THAT'S the real horror of this video... 🙄🙄🙄

[@JoeCool7835]

Ed Harris with hair... THAT'S the real horror of the movie!

[@TopsyTriceratops]

Yes, those were real roaches of all kinds of different species for the final story. Some of the big ones I believe were hissing cockroaches, which are so big and docile that some people even keep as pets! Unfortunately those all were real roaches, and every one the actors crush or step on were the real deal. And that's just for the final takes, too many to count for the takes they didn't keep.

[@0utsdrartist]

Haven't watched Creepshow in a long time, but seeing Tom Adkins got me thinking that she'd love Night Of The Creeps. Totally her vibe.

[@timingenkamp3973]

To answer your question Kat... Yes, they hired an actual cockroach wrangler, who brought thousands of cockroaches to the set, and let them loose. Back then it was either practical effects, or they used real animals when called for. Computers at this time were far too primitive to be of much help. Greetings from a fellow Canadian. 😀

[@tehpickle1250]

I love how happy she was to see Tom Savini’s name. That is some proper horror cred, right there!

[@McPh1741]

Another really good anthology movie that came out later in the 80s and is based on a TV show is “Tales From the Darkside”. You’ll find a young Christian Slater and Steve Buscemi in that movie.

[@pringals]

If you enjoyed this format, you should also check out "Twilight Zone, The Movie" from 1983. Also consists of "mini-movies" within. Some scary, some sad, some just odd.

[@bekindandrewind1422]

The "thread" that connects all the stories is that the ash-tray shows up in EVERY one... And yes, they sell replicas on ebay and through prop-houses..

[@smoothALOE]

My favorite horror film of all time. I love anthologies and, to me, this is the best example of such a movie. I think it’s absolutely perfect and I love your expressive reactions, throughout. You’re funny, too, haha!

[@bekindandrewind1422]

24:14 -- When the movie came out, there was a hard cover edition of the comic directly from the film.. Later editions of the book, had changed artwork that didn't resemble the characters or panels..

[@albertjimeno5315]

Stephen King plays Jordy Verrill, the guy that turns into a plant. I find his dumb-as-bricks hillbilly portrayal to be HILARIOUS! ‘Gee I’ll just touch the meteor and then put my fingers in my mouth.’ “Meteor shit.” The end of that segment is jarringly bleak though.

[@proto-geek248]

"This is going to be extreeemely painful."💉

[@DeltasArbiter]

Oh how it warms the cockles of my cold black heart to see my favorite movies I grew up with being loved by a modern audience… I like your positivity, some reaction channels are more about criticizing and hating on older movies, but it’s a joy to see you actually appreciating and getting into them

[@ThorgisArcade]

It's cool seeing you get excited for people like Tom Savini, you've become a big horror fan in your time making this channel. Also fun fact, that kid in the wrap around segment is actually Stephen King's son.

[@manuelvillacana9284]

I absolutely love this movie. ❤In fact, I love all wacky 80s, horror movies.

[@johnw8578]

It was so awesome seeing this at the theater when I was a kid. The next day at school, a bunch of kids were saying: "Where's my cake, Bedhelia?"
