Clearly George Romero and writer Stephen King are having a lot of fun playing with genre staples. There are five tales here, with a fun and goofy wraparound story that pays homage to the film's comic-book roots. It helped pave the way for the long-running horror anthologies TV series of the '80s and '90s like TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE and TALES FROM THE CRYPT, and it reminded audiences - who were drowning under a sea of slashers, lest we forget - that horror could be creative and fun. I think it's fair to say that CREEPSHOW is one of the greatest horror anthologies in the history of cinema, and perhaps the greatest of all American variants. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 8 / 10 A loving tribute to the horror genre The final story is about an ultra-rich businessman who gets his comeuppance from cockroaches. The fourth is about a creature that resides in a crate under the steps of a college. The third is about a vengeful husband burying his wife and her lover up to their necks on the beach. The second is about a not-too-bright farmer discovering a meteor that turns everything into plant-life. The first deals with a demented old man returning from the grave to get the Father's Day cake his murdering daughter never gave him.
