Blu-ray: Creepshow- September 8 1982 horror anthology from King and Romero... May 24th 2009 03:10am | Posted by: Michael Stevens, HNR Senior Editor Author Stephen King and director George A. Romero, produced this 1982 anthology of original episodic stories inspired by 1950's E.C. horror comic book series "Tales From The Crypt". The newly-restored Blu-ray edition will be available September 8 from Warners Home Video. The five stories are framed within the pages of a comic book that a boy's disgusted father has tossed into the garbage at the beginning of the film. The first tale, Father's Day, features a zombie patriarch returning to claim his Father's Day cake; The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill stars Stephen King as a slack-jawed yokel whose discovery of a radioactive meteorite turns him into a walking weed; Something to Tide You Over presents actor Leslie Nielsen as a cuckolded husband who plans an elaborate seaside revenge; The Crate unleashes its ferocious man-eating contents on the enemies of a college professor; and They're Creeping Up On You pits a billionaire (E.G. Marshall) against a swarm of relentless cockroaches in his penthouse. All the stories are all filmed in suitably garish comic-book colours, with memorable prosthetic makeup effects by Tom Savini...
