We don't talk about " Creepshow 3."īut in 2019, the horror tides turned. Maybe it was a fluke, I don't know."īoth sequels to "Creepshow" have gotten less love than the one helmed by the Godfather of Horror Romero and King had diminished involvement in Michael Gornick's 1987 effort "Creepshow 2" with Romero writing the screenplay based on some of King's stories. Even if you've watched the TV show, they did a great job trying to capture that, but you can't put the George Romero lightning in a bottle. The anthologies that have happened since then failed miserably. It was that pool of talent that made "Creepshow," but it's the writing and it was the handling of it by George. So clearly the talent was with George, and as far as "Creepshow" goes, how can you go wrong having stuff written by Stephen King? There's a great pool of talent here in Pittsburgh. They were never involved in any of George's stuff. I'll never lie to you: The people that were involved in that, if you notice, George never did a thing with them again. If you've seen "Night of the Living Dead" and everything George has done since then, it's clear where the talent was back then. I mean, that's the simplest answer to that question. The fans love it, but Savini credits his longtime friend and the film's director George A. Filled with Tom Savini-engineered special effects for each of its five segments, "Creepshow" thrilled audiences with headless matriarchs, a creature-in-a-crate, a moss man, waterlogged ghouls, and cockroach kills.
