From The Vaults: "Creepshow"

Just in time for the Halloween season, the 1982 George Romero and Stephen King collaboration "Creepshow" has been pulled from the backlog vaults and given the high definition treatment.

"Creepshow" combined several genre's to offer something for everyone, from comedy to sci-fi, it's all here told in five vignettes with a wraparound story all based on the infamous E.C. comics of the 1950's. Included are "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill", "Something To Tide You Over", "The Crate," and finally the skin crawling "They're Creeping Up On You". Upon viewing, it's interesting to see a much younger Ed Harris, in the early portion of his career, before hitting stardom. Also, we have the lesser known scream queen of her time Adrienne Barbeau, second only to Jamie Lee Curtis.

Pulling in over 20 million domestic at the box-office, "Creepshow" continues to entertain horror enthusiasts around the globe. This is definitely a purchase I'm going to make to gear up for my Halloween viewing season.
