The Film (4.5/5)

    A young boy has his "Creepshow" horror comic confiscated by his Father.   It ends up in the trash, but fear not, as the Creeper who is the host of the comic visits the young boy in the night, and appears to tell him 5 stories of horror and the macabre.   The stories involve a Father who comes back from the dead to get a cake from his daughter who previously murdered him.   We next get the “Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill” where Stephen King plays the title character, a man who finds a meteor, and the liquid inside turns him into a walking plant. The third segment is "Something to Tide You Over" where a disturbed Leslie Nielsen buries Ted Danson and Gaylen Ross up to their necks and forces them to attempt to breath on the ocean shore through the high tide.. This is followed by "The Crate", where a crate that has been under the stairs at a university for over a century might help a professor with his marital issues.  The fifth segment involves a rich man who is so afraid of germs that he seals himself away in an apartment that is practically germ-free, until roaches invade.

    Creepshow is a collaboration between Stephen King (Writer) and George A. Romero (director) that is without a doubt a horror classic. This is a film I personally have watched at least once a year for at least 25 years, and probably more times than that. I've owned it on VHS multiple times, DVD, Blu-ray, and will probably get the UHD when available. King and Romero took inspiration from the EC Comics like Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt they grew up with, and injected Creepshow with a tone much like what was found in those books.

    The stories each have a dynamically different feeling to each of them, some of them have a more silly horror tone to them (Father's Day, Jordy Verrill, The Crate) others have a more disturbing tone to them (Something to Tide You Over). The final segment oddly has always felt out of place in the film, but at the same if I'm watching the film after midnight feels like a Tales from the Darkside esque midnight movie conclusion to the whole thing.  

Audio/Video (5/5)

     Scream Factory presents Creepshow in a splendid 1:85:1 1080p AVC encoded transfer that looks fantastic. Colors pop, detail is excellent, and blacks are deep.   Audio is handled by a DTS-HD MA audio track and sound fantastic.

Extras (4/5)

    Extras include a Michael Gornick commentary, a round table discussion, interviews, featurettes, and MORE.

Overall

    Creepshow is a serious horror classic. The Blu-ray from Scream is loaded with extras, and an excellent new transfer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
