Creepshow (1982) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Just Call Me Billy!

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Fact 1: the monster in the Crate was nicknamed Fluffy. Fact 2: Tom Savini did the makeup for the original movie. He also played the trashman complaining about the order form being cut out. Fact 3: the Television print usually leaves out "There Creaping Up On You".

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

"Something to Tide You Over" scared me as a kid the most. My mom as a huge Cheers fan and I loved The Naked Gun, and I went to the beach a lot with my mom growing up. Always kept an eye out for a mean spirited Frank Drebin taunting a drowning Sam Malone. My dream is also to go to a Stephen King book signing and just yell "METEOR SHIT!" when I'm next in line.

The child catcher is pretty scary though.

[@williamwhitecage7988]

"The Crate" and "Something to Tide You Over" are my two favorites... (sort of a 1A and 1B situation). Funny fact: while filming, Ted Danson's kids were there. He was in the "zombie" make up and looking all scary and his kids went up and said "oh, hi daddy." and hugged him (recognizing him immediately) and weren't scared of the makeup :D

Another good Stephen King anthology film is Cat's Eye. It adapts some of his short stories. The Quitters Inc. story with James Woods is especially good.

Just found this reaction today, Creepshow has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE movie since it came out. And just FYI... Tales from the Crypt had a 70's anthology movie PRIOR to Tales from the Darkside show, this, and before the show of the 90's. Also The Thing & Creepshow both came out at the same time so there was no "tribute" to it in "The Crate".

"Well I'll be dipped in dog sh*t" is the punchline to a Fat Freddy's Cat cartoon from the 70s by Gilbert Shelton. Fairly well known in the underground hippie culture, basically it's what not to say upon finding a magic amulet that grants you one wish..

[@44excalibur]

If you pay close attention, you'll see that the green marble ashtray that Bedelia Grantham used to kill her father in Father's Day shows up in every segment of Creepshow. It's on the desk of the professor in Jordy Verril's dream sequence, it's on Richard's night table when he goes to get his revolver, it's on the desk where Harry writes his letter to Wilma, and it's a soap dish in Upson Pratt's bathroom.

[@onemanreactionfaction7636]

I love this movie and never tire of it. Anthologies weren't done very much back then. My favorite character is Henry. I love Hal Holbrook. He went to Denison University in Ohio and any time he was in town for alumni weekend or an event, he would stop in at the Buxton Inn where I was a busser. Super nice guy!

Creepshow is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for getting around to it. It is a nostalgic movie from my childhood. For what it is, it seems like a virtually unknown movie, when compared to the more well known classics. You hardly ever hear anyone talking about it, or reacting to it.

[@rakshatala7496]

I actuallly researched the "could you dig yourself out of sand" in part because of this movie! The popular conclusion is that it kills you by crushing suffocation loooong before you make progress getting out. Every time you inhale, the sand fills in the space until you have no room to inhale. I imagine wet sand would be worse because of the added weight. Thanks for the great reaction!!

[@MrsMovies]

@25:40 - Tabitha is played by George Romero’s wife, Christine. King would later use her name for his well known novel about a possessed Plymouth Fury.

[@tigerburn81]

31:37 You're not alone. During test screenings of this movie it was noticed that the unexpected sound of the broom falling ended up producing the biggest jump scare from the audience.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

My favorite chapter is the buried alive story with Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson. The funny thing is a lot of people forget that Leslie Nielsen wasn't always just the comedic actor we would later on see him as he was a serious actor at 1 point I remember one episode of Kojack back in the day he played in a serious assassin

[@stephenniehaus8635]

Leslie was a serious actor until middle age. He always wanted to but the cards weren't in his favor when he was younger

[@jasonp.1195]

He's also plays the Captain Kirk style character from the classic science fiction film "Forbidden Planet" (1956).

[@emraldmars]

The technical difficulties are adorable. Also, Dexter's Lab in the fourth story made me laugh, don't know how I missed it watching the movie so many times...

[@raymondmoore5476]

You daughter has awesome taste in movies! "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I saw back when I was a kid, born in 1970 but it was on TV. Fell in love with it. "Bedknobs And Broomsticks" is another great movie and I would not be surprised if they love that as well.

[@rynepaschall5973]

Leslie Nielsen playing a villain was perfect casting. When a comedian can pull of a complete psychopath, it really is something special to see.

Creepshow 2 only has three stories in it, but there was supposed to be two more, both adaptations from Stephen King. One was called "Cat From Hell", but was removed for being too gruesome, but was put into Tales From The Darkside The Movie (what fans call the REAL Creepshow 3). Another story, "Pinfall", was also scrapped from the project, but was given a comic adaptation as a bonus for the Creepshow 2 limited edition Blu-Ray by Arrow Video.

[@joeyrogers7017]

It has been one of my favorite movies since 1986. I saw it at the age of 5 and watch it regularly. In fact, my wife and I watch it maybe a dozen times every few months. Sometimes back to back, like letting it play non stop. Christmas 2004 I was alone with about a gallon of bourbon. It played about 15 times through the night and the next day. I drank so much that I became sober the more I drank. Then I looked at the TV and was like, "haven't I watched this already. Then I found out nearly two days had gone by. What a time.

Other horror anthologies from that era are Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Cat's Eye, Twilight Zone: The Movie. There were others too. It was a generation that grew up on Twilight Zone repeats so they were ready for it.

[@pdbordelon]

I love this movie! Great review! There's something special about early 80's movies and this one is fun camp! I also agree with the person who suggested "Cats Eye" as a good "double feature" with Creepshow. Keep up the great content!

[@peterlenham3180]

I Agree about these films from the 80s. There was just something about them then. Creepshow and Cats Eye are classics!

[@Wilmeiser]

"Is it like MAD Magazine?" Mrs. Movies made a deep cut reference as the Creepshow movies and comics are heavily inspired by the 1950s iteration of the Tales from the Crypt comics. About 20 years later the same dude who created Tales from the Crypt resurfaced and founded MAD Magazine. This means Madtv and Tales from the Crypt are siblings. Good one, Mrs. Movies!

"Something to Tide You Over" has always been my favorite segment. My father let me watch this movie when I was 5 years old, and that segment stuck with me all my life. Later, as an adult, I watched it again and understood why-the pure, menacing evil of Leslie Nielsen's character. I love it. And the acting in it is so much more real than in the other segments. I love the whole movie, but yeah, that's my favorite.

What really bothers me about that story is a lot of these stories have a bad person getting punished yet the guy in that story was just some random guy out in the country who's only real crime is he's not bright.
