Ted Danson was extremely worried about his daughter getting nightmares from his seaweed-draped zombie makeup, so he composed a script in his head for how to comfort her. When she saw him in full makeup, she simply said, 'hi Dad' and kept walking.
My favorite story.
That's both awesome and hilarious. Glad to see Ted take precautions for his daughter and how his daughter was just super chill.
Kids can take some stuff way better than you would think they would.
So, what script did he come up with in his head??
I'm waiting for your doll to come to life. It's freaking me out! 😂😂😂😂
Meanwhile, my brother and me were freaked out the first time we saw our dad without a mustache, lol.
Recognizing Tom Savini's name in the credits makes you a full-on member of the horror community, for sure.
33:38 "I drove out there with the remains of 3 human beings.....Well, 2 human beings and Wilma" I love this movie!!
🍺😂
Creepshow 2 is worth watching, even if it's not quite up to the level of the first one. I also recommend another Stephen King themed anthology film, Cat's Eye (1985), some parts of which are based on King's short stories, "Quitters, Inc." and "The Ledge."
LOVE Cat's Eye!!
The Ledge kills me. Gives me chills every time!
Cat's Eye is wonderful. Also not too scary but lots of suspense.
She should watch Twilight Zone the Movie also.
quitter's inc was actually a tales from the darkside episode as well as the 1980's twilight zone. tftds was the better one.
Leslie Neilsen was type cast as a villain for the majority of his career. When he was cast as the lead in the original Police Squad, critics were all "Leslie Neilsen can't do comedy!" Then his whole career got a new life to it, and he's been know for being a comedic actor ever since.
RIP Leslie Neilsen… the Naked Gun was good old fashioned slapstick comedy
He did comedy in Airplane which was years before Naked Gun.
He was either a romantic lead (Like in Forbidden Planet) or a bad guy, then he did "Airplane!" and that revived him as a comedy actor
He was Francis Marion THE SWAMP FOX in Disney's TV mini-series of the same name - an heroic figure in the Revolutionary War found in the southern coastal communities. His first feature film he was The Reporter in Glenn Ford's original version of RANSOM (young boy kidnapped from rich parents). But on TV, Leslie was sometimes cast a villain (or The villain) in episodes. He did a couple of villain roles in COLUMBO episodes but his career was dwindling, then he appeared in AIRPLANE and producers realized they could use him as a straight-man in absurd comedies. What a great thing after that!
Neilsen appeared in Airplane! before he did Police Squad (in color). That's where he began his comedy career. The writer/directors cast a number of dramatic actors (Neilsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges) because they wanted them to deliver their lines like they would in dramatic roles.
Neilsen wasn't always cast as villains. He began as a leading man and romantic interest in films like Forbidden Planet and Tammy and the Bachelor. He also starred as Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion in Disney's The Swamp Fox. He did play a lot of villain of the week roles on shows like The Man from UNCLE, Wild Wild West, and Columbo. Neilsen continued to do mostly dramtic roles even after Airplane!. It wasn't until the success of The Naked Gun that he started to do comedy exclusively.
The Crate is my favourite story in this movie, Fluffy is in my opinion still one of the best practical effect monsters created. The cast is strong and Leslie Nielsen is a very good villain, this is still one of my favourite horror movies..
The crates my favorite to, love Fluffy.
The Crate scared the Hell out of me when I was a kid.
Fluffy is just too cute.
Fluffy was really the only part that scared me as a kid, but there were a few other kids I would have fed to it.
@@BeagleBellowwell obviously. I think that is the point lol. I mean, what kid wouldn't be scared of that one.
So glad you saw this one! This is George Romero's most stylized film and just a great time at the movies. Stephen King was the farmer who turned into grass, in his biggest role to date. I was lucky enough to study under Viveca Lindfors , "Aunt Bedelia" (who really should have given her dad that cake) and I always smile when I see her in this, she was a kind, wonderful and talented lady. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wasn't Viveca also in Stargate with Kurt Russell & James Spader?
@@MLJ7956 Good eye! :) Yes, she was! She also makes an appearance in "Exorcist III: Legion" which came out around that time. Not to mention, a long list of films during her distinguished career :)
Not only did King play Jordy Verill, his son Joe played the boy in the bookends.
Man I miss the 80s and 90s. Back then movies were magic and great fun to watch. The artform has been lost now.
I thoroughly enjoyed your fun, enthusiastic reaction. Glad someone finally reacted to Creepshow. I hope that you react to more Anthology horror films like "Cat's Eye" (1985) by Stephen King, "Creepshow 2" (1987) and "Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)
Stephen King’s performance in this movie is one of the greatest treats his fans ever got.
The kid in the wraparound story is his son, Joe King, who is also a horror writer but goes by the name Joe Hill.
Joe Hill grew up to write "Horns". Which got turned into a movie starring Daniel ("Harry Potter") Radcliff.
Ohhhh! I never knew Joe Hill was Stephen King's son!
Oh shit, I never knew that about the kid. Cool trivia!
@@midianmtd He did NOS4A2 as well, got adapted to an AMC show
I’ll disagree with your first point-I hated the bad acting so much I never returned to this one-but am willing to accept that I just saw it as bad and not wonderfully campy. I much prefer King behind the keyboard versus in front of the camera.
This film was inspired by classic EC Comics series such as The Vault of Horror, The Haunt of Fear, and Tales from the Crypt. A year after this film came out, George Romero would create the syndicated TV series Tales from the Darkside as a sort of follow-up to Creepshow. That series would get its own film, which is also an anthology horror movie with a wraparound segment. In fact, the TFTD film would feature a segment that had been intended for Creepshow II, and Tom Savini regards it as essentially another Creepshow sequel.
Ah, excellent. I hoped someone would explain this before I had to. :D
They tried to make Creepshow into a TV show but couldn't, so they made Tales from the Darkside the series...which was popular enough it convinced HBO to make the Tales from the Crypt TV show...and now there's a proper Creepshow TV show.
Nice cycle, huh?
Do you think Kat would like "Tales from the Crypt" from the 1970s?
@@michelegraham1181 Perhaps. And if she did, it might be a gateway into other Amicus anthology films, which would then open the door for Hammer horror...
incidentally, both tales from the crypt and the vault of horror got film adaptations as part of Amicus Pictures' "omnibus" cycle -- a film company that produced mostly horror anthologies in the 1970s.
The story about the meteor and the poor guy who turned into "moss man" was Stephen King. And the garbage man on the left was Tom Savini.
Leslie Nielsen had been a dramatic actor on television and in theatrical films going all the way back to the 1950s, often playing villains. But with the success of “Airplane!” in 1980, he was able to reinvent himself professionally and enjoy an entire second career as a comic actor through the 1980s, ‘90s, and 2000s.
The marble ashtray can be seen in all the sequences. This is also true for the new Creepshow TV series on Shudder. Yes, they made the comic to go along with the movie but it did come afterwards. The roaches are real, they were brought in from Brazil, something like 50,000 of them. They were the single most expensive thing on the movie. There is artwork of the wife making the last call to Pratt in his "safe" room. She is surrounded by witchcraft paraphernalia implying she cast a curse on him to cause this, but it was never shown in the movie. Tom Savinni is the skinny garbage man with the mustache seen at t he end. Creepshow 2 is ok but not as great. Tick'R'Treat (which I think you already watched) is the real Creepshow 2.
Well, except for "the Raft". That part alone makes C2 worth a viewing, imo. I do wish they'd make a Trick'R'Treat 2!
@@xombiekat13 I dunno, I kind of liked the segment about the Indian Chief Statue
@@xombiekat13”The Raft” is certainly the best of the three stories in “Creepshow 2,” but “Old Chief Wood’nhead” pushes some buttons. The animated interstitials are also fun. So not hard to cast part two as “inferior” to the original, but part two is still worthwhile. Hopefully Kat reacts to it at some point. For more 80’s practical effects goodness she needs to check out “The Howling” and “Fright Night.” For scares and screams she needs to check out “What Lies Beneath.” I can’t wait! 😈
Creepshow 2 is Vastly underrated.
@@dethwizard Creepshow 2 is totally underrated. I kinda wish that Jordy Verill or Creeping Up was in part 2 just to balance the two films better but I unabashedly love them both. No one acknowledges Creepshow 3 and frankly we shouldn't as no one from the first two were involved. It's also reportedly terrible, and not in a good way. Which is why as I understand it Tales from the Darkside The Movie is considered the true part 3 as it fits the format better and Stephen King wrote part of it. And of course the TV series is fantastic.
In many ways Kats’ journey was completed the moment she gleefully yelled “Tom Savini?!” - I think Kat LOVES horror movies!
Cat’s Eye for more of the same and for something a little different, but still short stories, the black and white UK movie Dead of Night
Quitters Inc!
So Kat, your channel impressed me. You're watching stuff other CZcamsrs aren't. So, you sold me. These are some films I think you should Consider: Pumpkinhead (1988), The Howling (1981), Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2, Cabin in the Woods (2011). Evil Dead is unique. Evil Dead II is kind of a soft reboot but... I saw you watched the original. You should continue and watch part II.
Yes, those were indeed real roaches. According to Romero, they payed something like $.50 per roach, and used about 250,000 of them. Fun fact, when Tom Savini, who hates bugs with a passion, worked on that segment; so when he noticed on on his hand, he TELEPORTED across the room, having freaked out momentarily and completely lost all recollection of traversing the distance.
Actually that's just a hypothetical; Romero stated that's the cost if you wanted to buy bugs off a catalogue for filming. But 50cents per NY roach would've been steep. So he went the more economical route and got two entomologists to go to Trinidad where roaches could be found in batcaves living in feces. Hence why a lot of this roaches (the larger ones with the weird patterns) don't look like an average roach, it's cause they're not from the US.
@@masterjoelnathan Yup. Also I think another source stated that for the MASSIVE swarm shots (like the huge pile flooding the sealed bedroom) they bolstered the numbers with plastic toy bugs and/or dried fruits.
@@barretxiii27 yup! Savini did confirm it was a lot of dried fruits nuts painted brown & layered with roaches 😅
That was my favorite segment of Creepshow. In the TV version, they use to edited out the last story. It use to end with the crate
Stephen King said that the bug wrangler was so freaked out by the experience that if you were to slap him on the back he would have "went to heaven".
MATCH LORE! matches use two chemicals to ignite, most matches these days are what they used to call "safety matches" that have one chemical on the match-head and the other on the side of the box. "strike anywhere matches" had both chemicals on the match-head and can be lit on any surface rough enough. they are much more rare now, but you can often recognize them having two different colors on the tip. MATCH LORE!
Stan (the abusive dad) is played by Tom Atkins, also known for THE FOG (Carpenter-directed) and HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (Carpenter-produced.) Both are must-watches for this channel, I'd say.
He played an abusive dad in the Creepshow TV show too!
And remember his best, Night Of The Creeps, (All right, thrill me, and the have some good news and some bad news quote).
Adrian Barbeau and Hal Holbrook are in The Fog too!
@@scottjo63Night of the Creeps will always be my fave.
@@scottjo63 A favorite for sure! Tom Atkins is awesome.
Creepshow is an absolute classic, that perfectly encapsulates the time it was made in. A 1980s horror anthology film that has memorable - performances, practical effects, pops with colour, and frames scenes in a comic book style that pays homage to old real world horror comics that inspired the film. The second sequel and Tv series are great too.👍
If you are familiar with 50s horror comics this is emulating, you really get to see just how much love and care they put into replicating those, it's a treat.
We are SO glad you are in the club now Kat!
❤
When she said it was a “cool club”! … I can die now, I am at peace lol… So nice to have someone come into the horror genre with so much acceptance, and watching her slowly fall in love with the neat aspects of the genre just like we all did at one point or another is something I didn’t know I needed.
@@EarnestEgregoreit also gave me some chills
Her recognizing (and being excited for) Tom Savini's name definitely puts her in the club.
I don't think I'll ever be as happy or proud for you when you were geeking out during the credits at the incredible talent behind the scenes. You've arrived Kat! : D
I absolutely love how its Stephen King who plays Jordy Verrill in the meteor segment. This movie is so over-the-top campy, yet still surprisingly well written with fleshed out characters and actors who give it their all, I can't help but love this movie.
I see him as the inspiration for Vincent D'onofrio's character in Men in Black as the farmer/bug.
More like "fleshed off" characters Amiright Kat? Huh? Huh? 😐
@@christopherconard2831 Oh, for sure! It was what I first thought of when I saw MiB in the theater.
The tagline read: "The most fun you'll ever have being scared!"
Ahh, another one of the great childhood memories. I loved this film growing up, The Crate scared the crap out of my 12 year old self. Its still a masterclass in how to do suspense in such a short period of time. The whole of Henry's plan and when he is trying to chain up the crate is genuinely brilliant filmmaking.
The way they built up the suspense as well when they're slowly wedging the crate open. Really had Kat on edge.
@@Jay_delachance Definitely, it just keeps peaking then building, peaking then building. Fritz Weaver is great too as Dexter Stanley, I love how he goes from an interested professor to a blubbering wreck. Man, I love this film.
Damn, I was hoping to see more Creepshow reactions during the Halloween season, bless you Kat!
Creepshow 2 had 3 very memorable stories. One that really creeped me out as a kid... "Thanks for the ride, lady"
I love the paying for each orgasm part lol
CS3 aren't Stephen King stories.
Thank you for reacting to this, no one ever does. It's one of my all-time faves.
The couple playing Henry and Wilma (Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau) both star in The Fog by John Carpenter, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.
I think you'll love this movie.
You can see the sequel if you must, but understand this series spirals out exponentially.
❤ Best to you-
EDIT: Chick, you are THE QUEEN of this cool club. Your subs all love watching you slowly get desensitized to all this gore and truly revel in trivia found in creature features and rarely elsewhere in film.
Unlike a hundred other reactors on CZcams, you specialize in horror, and instead of going all goth you admit early on that you HATE horror movies, which allows you to corner the market because we love watching you warm up to the genre.
Especially when you review movies like this that we KNOW you'll love. ❤
Conversely, when she watches Predator, which isn’t really horror, it does a ton more views than most of her videos.
@@maxducoudray As far as subscribers go on channels like these, quality DOES count. :)
Best to you-
The sequel is boring in comparison.
I like the sequel. But, she should definitely avoid the horrid third movie.
@@jdnaz1288 There's a third one? I had no knowledge of this.
CREEPSHOW was and still is a household Halloween favorite ever since I was kid in the 90’s. Its great to see a lady with such wit and charisma react to this beloved classic . Thank you !
It was back in the 80s too.
@@ZavaXavierAnd?🙄
I was so happy to see you watch this! Yes, we are a very cool club. I watched a documentary or a segment on the making of this movie, and I remember George A. Romero stating that many of the cockroaches were actually raisins because they couldn't control/afford that many cockroaches. He said that they had a roach wrangler on set that swears that the guy would talk to the roaches, tell them what to do, and that they would follow his instructions to the letter. I think they also mentioned that roaches still showed up on the soundstage for months after that segment was filmed. You caught a lot of details that I've never noticed before, and I have seen this many times. If you liked this, you should watch Cat's Eye. It's only three stories, and there aren't many practical effects, but it's a fun watch.
Well done on spotting the infamous ashtray! Romero wanted it to deliberately appear in each episode, but I think it was trimmed out of one during the edit.
I literally squealed when I saw this in my subs! Love your channel and this film 😂 Grew up with this anthology, even had the comic. And yes, it’s amazing lol
You’re always so fun to revisit these movies with ❤ Happy Thanksgiving sweety!
Hi Kat! I love your enthusiasm about the credits! And I’m super excited for you that you recognize horror icons like Tom Savini!
I could be wrong, but I think this might be the most fun you've had with a reaction. You were just grinning the entire time. You love to see it. :)
The cockroaches were all real if you saw them moving around. The movie had bug wranglers who went to South America and got the biggest, nastiest ones they could dig out of caves full of bat guano. To do Upson Pratt vomiting roaches, Tom Savini and his crew did a full cast mold of E.G. Marshall, then rigged it with a huge push tube up into the mouth and another up out of the chest, so the roaches could be pushed out. Some of the cave roaches were bigger than a computer mouse. For huge mounds of roaches, like in Pratt's bed, they made a pile of brown nuts, chestnuts, and other brown shapes, then covered that with a layer of real roaches.
I had the pleasure of getting the DVD box for Creepshow signed by the director George A. Romero (who also did Night of the Living Dead)!
Soon I’m going to mail the box to Stephen King and have him sign it!!!!
I absolutely love the segment with King as Merrill. Even the film and staging makes it look like a 50s/60s flick. It’s just realized so well.
24:14 -- When the movie came out, there was a hard cover edition of the comic directly from the film.. Later editions of the book, had changed artwork that didn't resemble the characters or panels..
The thing about Creepshow was that it was inspired by the line up of horror comics by EC Comics during the 1950s; Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear. The film did release a graphic novel of the film, with artwork by Bernie Wrightson, who was also a fan of the EC horror comics.
Following Creepshow came two TV spinoffs in the 80s (Tales from the Darkside, Monsters), the modest sequel five years later (Creepshow 2), a film adaptation of Darkside (which fans call Creepshow 3 as well), the shitty straight to video sequel in '06, and the streaming series on Shudder/AMC+. The streaming series would release their own line of comics under the same name as the franchise with original stories.
FYI: Stephen King is in almost every screen adaptation of his stories. M Night Shamalan does the same with the movies he makes. Alfred Hitchcock, too. Every time a watch a new movie from one of these 3, I like to play 'I Spy'.
Lucio Fulchi did the same in his movies too.
FYI: Jordy Verrill is played Stephen King himself, and the "creepy kid" in the wraparound story is his son, Joe.
Who also became a writer.
@@michelegraham1181 And who looks almost exactly like his old man. It's uncanny.
You must be JoeKing.
His son would later work on the tv series Creepshow
Creepshow 2 is just as good. Can't wait for you to react to it. This has been one of my favorite reactions you've done.
28:31 - Speaking of "under the stairs", Kat, there is another fantastic horror film that you will truly enjoy called, "The People Under The Stairs", directed by Wes Craven, and starring Ving Rhames (of the Mission Impossible movies), Everett McGill (of Quest for Fire, and Twin Peaks), Brandon Quintin Adams (of The MIghty Ducks, and Moonwalker), and Sean Whalen (of Twister).
YESSSSS!!!!@
Agreed. Good flick 🤖👍
If you notice this shot (16:00) at the end of the story that Stephen King starred in, the road sign that says "Castle Rock 5"? That was a nod to King's favorite creepy town in Maine. He had written many short stories based in that town. Ironically, years later, Hulu developed a horror series called "Castle Rock", which was based on many of King's short stories and novels that were set in favorite town in Maine. Just some trivia I thought I'd share with you Kat! By the way, I love your reaction to this movie! This was always one of my favorite horror movies growing up in the 80s. :)
That isn't ironic at all. King created Castle Rock; it isn't a real town. And even if it was a real town, it still would not be "ironic" that they created a show set in the town.
@@FardawgYour comment doesn't make any sense.
They are called strike anywhere matches. Wooden, with a strike anywhere tip. You can buy a cardboard box of them, and carry a few around in your pocket just in case you need to be cool on the go. Lighting one on your jacket's zipper, or off the inside of your front teeth was a fun trick. Also, grass-guy was Stephen King.
Strike Anywhere matches are a thing! You can even strike a match on another match! Ha!
I had a friend really into doing the zipper/teeth/whatever trick. Just know, the more modern matches we have now were originally advertised as "safety matches" for a reason.
I remember watching an old Porky cartoon where he strikes one of those matches on his butt.
Seeing people dance in the living room is a real horror show especially with no rhythm 😂😂.
Something To Tide You Over is one of my all-time favorites. I knew Leslie Nielsen only for his comedic roles in Airplane and The Naked Gun series. So seeing him hamming it up as a murderer in this was amazing.
Great reaction, Kat. Steven King played the guy who found the meteorite and became the Green man.
This one is perfect for Kat…fun and not too scary! Love it!
A Halloween tradition!
Wut. The yeti segment is pretty flippin terrifying, legit.
It's nice you feel a part of the "club." I've been in a lot of fandoms, but the horror fans are genuinely the nicest and most fun of any fanbase. Once you start going to cons and meeting people, you do become little families. I still talk to people I met at cons 10 years ago.
Stephen King plays Jordy Verrill, the guy that turns into a plant. I find his dumb-as-bricks hillbilly portrayal to be HILARIOUS! ‘Gee I’ll just touch the meteor and then put my fingers in my mouth.’ “Meteor shit.” The end of that segment is jarringly bleak though.
"This is going to be extreeemely painful."💉
Thank you for doing this reaction, my friend. This is the horror movie that got me into horror.
Love your videos SO much!! You're such a fun person to hang out with 😁
Favorite line of the whole movie, “Just tell it to call ya Billie!”😂 Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, and Leslie Nielsen were great in this, and of course Stephen King.
I always loved the tagline for this film. "It's the most fun you'll have being scared!" It definitely sets the tone.
Thank you for watching Creepshow Kat. I knew you’d love it! Your reactions were priceless…and adorable 😍No, Creepshow 2 is not as good but it is still damn fun watching and worth checking out. All I can say about the sequel is “Thanks for the ride Lady!” Also “Tales from the Darkside the Movie” is a good watch too and is really considered Creepshow 3 as it was from the makers of the original movie.
The Raft alone is a reason to watch Creepshow 2.
So glad you watched this horror classic and loved it. There's a "Creepshow 2" as well.
Oh, and Stephen King was the guy with the meteor that turned into a plant. He's got a small part in part 2 as well.
Part 2 only has 3 stories instead of 5 like this one, but they're really good.
And Tom Savini is in part 2 as well.
The Raft 🥺
Creepshow 2 is the one! Scared the crap outta me as a kid. The Hitchhiker still haunts me every now and then 😭🫣😂😂
The Raft 🥺
Stephen King saying “Meteor shit!” has lived rent free in my head since I first saw this in ‘82 HAHAHA
The one that always stuck with me is:
"This is going to be extreeemely painful."
The little boy in the beginning was played by Stephen King's son, Joe. He went on to write his own series of horror books and short stories under the pen name "Joe Hill". His full name is Joseph Hillstrom King, but he shortened it to avoid nepotism, and wanted to earn notoriety in his own right.
I highly recommend _Heart-Shaped Box_ , _NOS4A2_ , _20th Century Ghosts_ , and the _Locke and Key_ series.
You must be JoeKing 😬
Totally rad reaction Kat!!!!
Creepshow is such a great movie!!!!
I loved your Naked Gun reference, very cool beans!!!!
I've lost track of how many times I have watched this movie and it never gets old!!!!
I hope you'll react to "Session 9", it's very atmospheric!!!
Again, great reaction as always!!!!
Many blessings to you and yours!!!!
I recall not being allowed to watch this as a kid, but finding an actual graphic novel movie tie-in at the bookstore and reading that anyway...and being scared out of my mind. Probably scarier and more traumatizing than the actual movie that way! Thanks Mom and Dad! 😂👍
That's funny. This was the first "R" rated film I was allowed to watch! My mom had seen it and was telling me all about it and said I should watch it. I'm like, "OKAY!" I was allowed to watch an "R" rated movie at twelve years old? Hell yeah! She recorded it for me on tape and I loved it! However, the tape ran out just at the end of "The Crate." So I grew up never having seen the whole complete movie. I was in my twenties before I finally saw the final segment!
When sand becomes wet it also becomes very heavy so there was no way Ted Danson's character would be doomed for certain.
This was great fun, Kat. I saw "Creepshow" with my brother on opening day back in '82 and we had a blast. I also got to meet George Romero and John Harrison, the film's composer, at a release party for the film's soundtrack and they signed my copy of the album. George Romero was a very humble, funny guy, who just sort of stumbled into film with "Night of the Living Dead" and "Creepshow" is a perfect meeting of Romero and King.
The guy with the matches is Ed Harris in his first film role. He also starred in Romero's "Knightriders."
Ted Danson did this film not long after he had done the police film "The Onion Field" with James Woods. This was *years* before "Cheers" and he was almost an unknown here.
Leslie Nielson was still mostly known for dramatic roles when he did this. His roles in "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" were still years in the future.
In Adrienne Barbeau's scene in "The Crate," where Henry shoots her in the head, the explosive squib blowing the blood out of her head actually scared her. Her reaction as she is "shot" is genuine.
Yes, the bugs in "They're Creeping Up On You" were all real. There were two bug wranglers on the film and the penthouse set was specially built to keep them in(they still got out). E.G. Marshall actually handled being covered in bugs for most of the shoot, except for one instance when a large(4"+) cockroach crawled down the back of his shirt. The shot of the bugs bursting out of his body was a mannequin with the bug wranglers literally pushing the bugs up through the chest cavity and out of its mouth and chest. Yeesh!
@antduude “Airplane” was two years before “Creepshow.” “Naked Gun” was six years after “Creepshow.”
“Airplane” came out in 1980, Leslie did “Creepshow” in 1982
@antduude Was Ed Harris in Knightriders as well? I thought that was Peter Weller aka Robocop?
Kat, "Creepshow" is a classic.
If you feel like checking out other Horror anthologies, there is "Tales From The Darkside: The Movie", "Tales From The Crypt" (the 1970s film, not the tv show), and "Tales From The Hood". There are others, but those are some of the most well-known.
Always loved Stephen King. Many years ago I joined his fan club and as a new member they sent me the Creepshow comic book. So yes, it does exist. Pretty much what you see in the movie.
Great reaction
At 35:00 the music playing on the jukebox can also be heard at the end of Evil Dead (1981). Assume either a knowing nod to Sam Raimi's film, or just coincidence!
Great video featuring a great film!
Creepshow is an homage to horror comics of the 1950s published by EC Comics, such as Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear. Following the publication of the book, ‘Seduction of the Innocent' by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham in 1954, where he accused comic books of promoting juvenile delinquency in minors, many comic book companies were hit with censorship rules by conservative politicians in the U.S. government, and EC Comics ended up going out of business as a result.
The only comic left was MAD
😂😂😂 Kat referring to Jordy Verril: "Poor guy.. He's gonna be The Grinch in no time!" 😂😂😂 I cannot believe I had never once thought of that myself in all these years I've repeatedly watched this! ❤😂
"This is going to be extreeemely painful."💉
The green marble ashtray that Bedelia Grantham killed her father with in Father's Day appears in each of the other segments. It sits on the professor's desk in Jordy Verill's dream sequence, it appears on Richard's night table in Something To Tide You Over, it's a paperweight on Henry's desk in The Crate, and it appears as a soap dish in Upson Pratt's bathroom in They're Creeping Up On You.
Someone should record the 'wheres my cake? I want it!' line and play it at the drive through at dairy queen when ordering one of those ice cream cakes
Not gonna lie. I felt like a proud father when you started recognizing the names in the credits!😂😂😂
And even more so when you got upset when the Jim Beam got spilled.😂😂😂
33:20 -- Everyone's favorite line... "Just tell it to call you Billy....."
There was a Creepshow comic made as a tie-in with the movie. As far as the stories go, all but two of them were created for the movie. "The Crate" and "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" were previously released as short stories sold to magazines by Stephen King early in his career, entitled "Crate" and "Weeds" at publication.
Another really good anthology movie that came out later in the 80s and is based on a TV show is “Tales From the Darkside”. You’ll find a young Christian Slater and Steve Buscemi in that movie.
This reaction was priceless ❤
So glad you loved Creepshow. It is the best horror anthology to this day. Just so much fun. I strongly recommend Creepshow 2, by the way.
The Raft 🥺
Cockroaches are detritavores, meaning they break down decaying organic matter. With the amount of cockroaches in that room, he'll be soil before dawn.
Most of those roaches were regular American ones, winged and small, but the bigger ones were hissers, a Madagascan flightless breed.
40:36 - That's Tom Savini, by the way. The garbage man with the walkman on, and with the moustache.
What's everyone's ranking of the stories? Mine would probably be: 3, 4, 5, 1, 2. Although I might switch Creeping with Father's Day.
3- Something to Tide You Over
4- The Crate
5- They're Creeping Up on You!
1- Father's Day
2- The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill
I'm guessing Kat would have Tide first because of Leslie Nielsen and Creeping last, because of the poor roaches being abused. 😁
The Crate is definitely my favourite, but I love the dread of Something to tide you over. Its probably the one with the best dialogue.
@@Stone8roke Yes and you gotta love Leslie Nielsen as a villain. What a diabolical way to off someone, and taping it too to relive the enjoyment. Makes me wish he would have done a lot more non comedic roles.
Crate (I have a life-sized replica in my game room)
Jordy (I love his ridiculously simplistic view of the world. And1 I want to work in the Dept. of Meteors, buying meteors from people.)
Father's Day/Tide you over ( these tie for me)
Creep up on you you
5 is the very best one.
@@Jay_delachance It one of his best roles, he looks like he's having the time of his life as well.
Hi Kat! This is the first time anybody has told me that I am in a "cool club." That's actually hilarious! I love this cheesy movie, with it's many horror references!
It's like you have some sort of cosmic remote control hammer installed on my funny bone and your videos trigger the switch and i laugh, a lot. So much entertainment and charm in one person!
I grew up on the humid Texas coast and had zero guilt about killing all the roaches down here. Lol
You don’t see any boobies on a raft in the first creep show. That’s the real horror of this movie.
Making a creepy comment about a nonconsensual scene to a person on their CZcams channel.... THAT'S the real horror of this video... 🙄🙄🙄
Ed Harris with hair... THAT'S the real horror of the movie!
You always deliver. Your joy was felt. The sequel is as good as this one IMO. I'll just keep throwing out suggestions. One you might enjoy is "The Lair Of The White Worm" it almost isn't horror, but it is, well done movie. Thanks again and look forward to more!
It's a strange film but I always hated the ending.
It was a bit bizarre, kinda wish they would do a sequel, or a remake.
I absolutely love this movie. ❤In fact, I love all wacky 80s, horror movies.
The same ashtray!! I never noticed that! I have watched this movie 100 times for decades and never noticed that. Awesome!
W H A T L I E S B E N E A T H
😊
When I have a bad day, I can watch your videos and leave with my mancave with a happy face!
Haven't watched Creepshow in a long time, but seeing Tom Adkins got me thinking that she'd love Night Of The Creeps. Totally her vibe.
The young boy slapped by his dad at the beginning of the movie is Stephen King's son, Joseph Hillstrom King (pen name Joe Hill). I thought he looked like him so I checked it out. Also, Stephen King appears in all of his movies. Great reaction!
He wrote Black Phone which was great, except when the bad guy's brother tried to save Fin and met a very bad end.
My childhood returns. Our family schtick is, ''Is that 'camp' or 'kitsch', Harry?"..."It's stupid." When it came out they sold an actual Creepshow comic for purchase at Barnes & Noble and I'm the proud owner of one.
Yes. Real roaches. A lot of them. They pumped them through a giant syringe through a dummy of E.G. Marshall. These were all King ideas or stories. Weeds and The Crate were previously published. The comic book was published around the time the film was released. This was an homage to the horror comics if the 1950s including Tales from the Crypt (later to be a TV series on HBO). There were also two British films made in the 1970s called Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror.
"Creepshow" was inspired by the EC Comics (Tales From The Crypt, Vault Of Horror, Weird Science, etc) of the 1950s. There is a whole wild story about the comics industry being hauled in front of Congress because of the content of EC and their competitors. It led to the creation of the "Comics Code".
The monster in the crate is named "Fluffy" in the script. If he managed to survive inside that box for decades without food, then I figure he's gotta be some kind of supernatural ageless monster.
The woman who was eaten by the monster in THE CRATE was Adrienne Barbeau
who was married to John Carpenter .. who made Halloween, The Fog and The Thing.
40:48 --- The man himself.. Tom Savini as the garbage guy with the moustache..
The Creepy black ashtray from the first segment is a main stay in the creepshow stories .. it's in every story of the movies and t.v.show on Shudder.... It's in every episode somewhere and it's always there to spot and even make a game or drinking game with friends.
This film is an homage to EC Comics. In the 50's EC produced well-regarded horror and Sci Fi anthology comics like Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Weird Science. They had top notch artists and writers and influenced a number of writers and filmmakers including Stephen King.
This anthology style of film where there are several stories in one film goes back to silent film. There were several excellent examples in the 70s produced by Amicus Films. They include Tales from the Crypt and Asylum (two of my favorites). Others include Vault of Horror, Tales that Witness Madness, and The House that Dripped Blood. Many adapt stories from the aforementioned EC Comics. In the 80s, HBO produced a TV series called Tales from the Crypt that also adapted stories from EC Comics.
Another good anthology film that adapts stories by Stephen King is Cat's Eye.
