Inspired by the controversial EC Comics of the 1950s–which also provided the title and inspiration for the popular Tales from the Crypt TV series–director George Romero and screenwriter Stephen King serve up five delightfully frightful stories. Utilizing comic-book panels, animated segues, and exaggerated lighting and camera angles, Romero and cinematographer Michael Gornick come very close to replicating a horror comic in film format. The results mix fine acting with the morbid sense of humor and irony that made the EC books so popular in their heyday. Actors such as Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, EG Marshall, and even King appear in the stories, which include tales of a sinister father’s day celebration, a mysterious meteor, seaweed-draped zombies, a monster in a crate, and a cockroach-phobic millionaire. Fiendishly fun fare from one of horror’s most famous directors.
That animation of the meteor crashing into the earth is pretty cool…
Dump a bottle of bleach in a bathtub full of water and go snorkeling.
Damn hillbillys!

I laugh everytime Stephen King says “Meteor shit”. 🙂
And that one is far better than the real “Creepshow 3” turned out.

Well thats not exactly a fudgie the whale but I guess if it suits him then I wouldnt stand in his way? lol
what a dumb thing to say – you think acting in some small role would give him publicity compared to all this books and movies? make some sense kid
Wow, almost looks like a Tiberium field from Command and Conquer. And they came to Earth in the same way!
Lol xD Stephen King…you’re such a great actor (please stick to writing your awesome horror books though)

dude…if it weren’t for the fact that Stephen King has proven his brilliance with writing for almost 45 years I’d believe that he was just some yokel picked up off the street to play this part.
(p.s. he looks like a pedophile at 2:37 O_O)
Stephen King is a GOD!
thats a redneck hillbilly for you has to poke everything they come across of course if he was a pothead he’d be smoking all that green stuff some of it kinda looks like weed anyway.

I like when he looks down at hiself and says ,no not there!
The worst thing one could’ve done to that meteor: pour water on it so that plants will grow out of it.
