Creepshow III

tasting notes

Creepshow II featured such talents behind it as Stephen King and George Romero. Naturally, Creepshow III (a good 20 years in the making) would be a straight to video sequel featuring the talents behind Day of the Dead 2: Contagium, another straight to video sequel many decades in the making that has been described as “a disgrace to Romero’s name and the series.” Creepshow II featured such memorable segments as “The Raft“, King’s short story about a group of college kids who go swimming in a lake only to get surrounded and eventually devoured by an abstract deadly monster substance. Creepshow III features such amazing segments as:

the girl whose dad has a remote that gives her boils and then a crazy neighbor turns her into a rabbit
the radio who tells a guy not to use too much mayonnaise and to diversify his funds
the modern day “Jack the Ripper” who appearantly took a few cues from Black Roses (ie picture above)
and a number of other unmemorable poopers

In the words of another IMDB user, “So horrible, it made me angry.”
