Retro Trailer: Creepshow (1982)  It goes without saying that
"Creepshow" is one of the most popular horror anthologies
around. It's definitely one of my go-to movies for the Halloween
season. Director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King bring
us 5 tales of terror in a tribute to the EC comics of the
1950's. The segments are tied together by short animated
sequences surrounding a young boy named Billy (Stephen's son,
Joe King) who is punished by his father (Tom Atkins) for reading
horror comics. Many familiar faces such as Leslie Nielsen, Ted
Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, E.G. Marshall, Hal Holbrook
and Stephen King appear in the five stories, which include tales
of a horrific Father's Day celebration, a meteor, a vengeful
husband, a monster in a crate, and a germ-a-phobic millionaire.
