The best comic book adaptation ever.
Matthew ChristmanDec 10, 2025Creepshow is still to this day a brilliant anthology of horrific tales of the unexpected. This homage to horror comics really feels like a whole. (More than the sum of its parts?) It helps that all segments are directed, written, shot and special effected by the same…
Yves BouwenApr 13, 2022George Romero's 1950's comic strip comes to life, with a five part anthology of macabre and high camp tales of terror. Creepshow was obviously going for a moving comic book feel and achieves it with the anthology structure, some smart editing and a lot of completely over…

Creepshow, It’s been a while! “Dept. of Meteors” lmao, dead.
Ian WestOct 6, 2022my mum is mad at me for showing this to my 11 year old brother but i think it’s both good and vital for the soul to have a little october fright when you’re young
👽 Zara 👽Oct 20, 2020Anthology horror hasn't been done any better than this. King and Romero are the perfect match for all of us horror nerds.

I really wish George A. Romero and Stephen King would have worked together more often because this movie is magic from start to finish. My favorite story stars Stephen King as a hillbilly with a meteor! LOL Great effects by Tom Savini, great score and cinematography as well.
Arsal likedCreepshowA fun, creepy, comic-inspired ride. Romero and King deliver a love letter to pulpy horror. Not every story lands, but the aesthetic, tone, and campy glee make it a classic. A Halloween staple if you're into retro horror.
Damien likedCreepshowNice little old school anthology. Didn’t like the first couple that much. Liked the second half of them. Leslie Nielsen being a villain was cool. So used to him in comedy. If you didn’t know that kid is Stephen kings son who grew up to make locke and key among other things.
- Morgan lovedCreepshow
campy and hilarious i really liked the editing and the special effects, it was all very charming i also liked all the monsters and undead designs, it was fun how different they were the bug one made me sooo itchy i think my favorites were father’s day and the crate
John Foster likedCreepshowRewatched 23 Aug 2025 John Foster’s review published on Letterboxd: A decent, fun homage to the EC horror comics of the 1950's. Not as clever and scary as the source material. It's fun watching Leslie Nielsen be evil.
MovieDaddy is "meh" onCreepshowThe best part of this movie is the poster. Effects don’t hold up past the year they were made, and the stories are lacking any decent tension. I love horror anthologies, but this left a lot to be desired.
- Scranton Strangler lovedCreepshow
Love this anthology movie and all the practical effects. i watched this all the time growing up and each story is so great.
Carson Willoughby is "meh" onCreepshowThought it would be better honestly, still enjoy certain moments but it’s alright in general nothing groundbreaking
Ggrizz likedCreepshowDefinitely gets better the further you go along. I enjoyed Stephen kings character and Leslie Nelson was awesome.

Metacritic
What they've done here is to recapture not only the look and the storylines of old horror comics, but also the peculiar feeling of poetic justice that permeated their pages. In an EC horror story, unspeakable things happened to people - but, for the most part, they deserved them.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Genuinely creepy, satirical and occasionally daft horror tales with a distinctly moral bent.

Creepshow is probably not everything the fans of each horrormeister hoped it would be (it is not, for example, in the same league as Cavalcanti's great anthology film, Dead of Night), but it's probably enough.[10 Nov 1982]
