The prologue of Creepshow is pure cinema greatness. The opening shot of a suburban house with a mailbox on one side and a garbage can on the other, the camera angles, the GREAT score, the brutality of what is going on between father and son and the mousy mother. The father's "That's why God makes fathers" countered with "I hope you rot in hell." and then then piano starts going nuts and the Creeper appears and it goes to the animation of the opening credits. WHEW! It doesn't get better than this.

So, there was this box of DVDs in my garage. After some digging around, I found the box and brought it up to my room. I searching through it, looking for anything good. Saving Private Ryan, Dr. Strangelove, Blues Brothers, but than there was Creepshow. I later showed my new collection of movies to my dad and he was so happy that I found Creepshow. He told me about when he was 11, on a business trip with his dad. They went to a dinner/movie combo and the movie for the night was Creepshow. It stuck with both of them, and over 40 years later, it’s now stuck with me. Creepshow is definitely one of my favorite movies ever

I really enjoyed this smart, compelling and affectionate tribute to one of Romero's unsung classics. It's one of the director's most artful and imaginative creations. More than any other comic book-inspired film it works hard to reproduce the aesthetics of the inked narrative art form, using panels, inserts, two-tone lighting and stylised production design that solves a lot of the adaptation issues that exist between the literary and filmic forms. You mention that Tom Savini goes unseen throughout Creepshow, but he has a speaking part in the second half of the wraparound story as one of the garbage collectors who finds the copy of Creepshow in the trash. Also, you mention Tennessee senator Estes Kefauver, who led the subcommittee on juvenile delinquency, but it was actually German psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, speaking at the hearings, who sounded the death knell for comics by insisting in his book Seduction of the Innocent that the violence and sexual deviance portrayed in comics was responsible for the apparent epidemic of juvenile delinquency plaguing 1950s American society. Funny how in the 1880s the fault lay with pulp novels known as "penny dreadfuls" that were cited as the catalyst for Boston child killer Jesse Pomeroy's spate of cruel murders.

Creepshow is a film on its own in many ways. Stephen King has a special sense of humor, and George Romero was probably the only one who really brought that humor to the screen properly for the audience. From beginning to end, the movie looks like a lot of people got into it because they were able to play something they could never play otherwise. And it set off a plethora of TV series of that kind. Tales from the Crypt is just the most famous one. The last one is the pet project of Gregory Nicotero. A series on Shudder called.... Creepshow. This film, including his influence to followers and artists, went definitively down in film history. The critics did not.

👍👏 Another super video here in this series ... featuring a terrific, unique horror flick of which I'm so fond. Trivia question on "Creepshow": was some of the language looped in Post Production to make it less risque, for theatrical and home video releases? Because when Billie (Adrienne Barbeau) insultingly refers to another woman, whom we don't see, as a "crotch", I always suspect this was not the original word spoken ... initially it was probably a word that is often referred to as The C Word. Really, people just don't say "crotch" when putting someone down. And I always chuckle at that scene because the line sounds ridiculous. 😁
