KING, STEPHEN Stephen King's Creepshow
Plume Books, 1982. 2nd Printing. Large Softcover. Ill.: Wrightson, Bernie; Kamen, Jack. Very Good. A few light cover creases, light shelf wear. Binding tight, pages clean & bright. Color illustrations throughout. "Stephen King's "Creepshow" is a 1982 anthology horror movie directed by George A. Romero (of "Night of the Living Dead" & "Dawn of the Dead" fame), and written by Stephen King ("The Shining", "Misery", "The Stand"). It consists of five short "Jolting Tales of Horror": "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate" and "They're Creeping Up On You!". Two of these stories, "The Crate" and "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" (originally titled "Weeds") were adapted from previously published Stephen King short horror tales, while the other stories were written especially for the film. These stories are tied together by animated segments and the plight of a young boy (played by Stephen King's own son, Joe King) who is a dedicated fan of a fictitious comic book titled "Creepshow", which his stern and even borderline abusive father disapproves of. The film is a homage to the EC Comics of the 1950s such as "Tales from the Crypt", "The Vault of Horror" & "The Haunt of Fear", and is widely considered the best horror anthology movie of all time according to the vast majority of horror fans." -- Wikipedia.
