In 1982 three masters of horror, director George A. Romero, make-up guru Tom Savini, and author Stephen King, joined together for a horror fans dream: CREEPSHOW, five tales of terror inspired by, and designed to evoke the stylized look and feel of the EC pulp comic books of the 1950’s. The first story deals with a demented old man returning from the grave to get the Father’s Day cake his murdering daughter never gave him. The second is about a not-too-bright farmer discovering a meteor that turns everything into plant-life. The third is about a vengeful husband burying his wife and her lover up to their necks on the beach. The fourth is about a creature that resides in a crate under the steps of a college. The final story is about an ultra-rich businessman who gets his comeuppance from cockroaches. CREEPSHOW was a smorgasbord of ghastly images and solid, old-fashioned storytelling. Romero and King approached CREEPSHOW with humor and affection, as well as with an appreciation of the macabre. They created visual links to comic books by beginning each segment with several panels of a comic artist’s version of the story, and then dissolving from the final drawn panel to a reality that exactly mirrors it.

CREEPSHOW will tickle and scare the heart of any moviegoer who yearns to see a film that includes killer cockroaches and Ted Danson buried up to his neck in sand and St. Louis horror fans will get the chance to see it again on the big screen Wednesday,November 1st at 8pm at Schlafly Bottleworks Restaurant and Bar (7260 Southwest Ave.- at Manchester – Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of Webster University’s Award-Winning Strange Brew Film Series
