- Summary:
- Released in cinemas in 1982, 'Creepshow' is typically regarded as a minor entry in both the film output of George A. Romero and the history of adaptations of the works of Stephen King. Yet this lack of critical attention hides the fact that 'Creepshow' is the only full collaboration between America's bestselling author of horror tales and one of the masters of modern American horror cinema. Long considered too mainstream for the director of 'Dawn of the Dead' (1978), too comic for the author that gave audiences the film versions of 'Carrie' (1976) and 'The Shining' (1980), and too violent for a cinemagoing public turning away from gore cinema in the autumn of 1982, 'Creepshow' is here reassessed by Simon Brown, who examines the making and release of the film and its legacy through a comic book adaptation and two sequels.
