Full Specs For ‘Creepshow’ Collector’s Edition Announced

We love a good horror anthology, don’t we? When it comes to horror anthologies, Creepshow is one of the all time greats. Can you think of a better way to enjoy this cinematic masterpiece than with a Shout! Factory Collector’s Edition Blu-ray? We can’t either! We’ve got some good news. Shout! Factory is on the case, and they’ve put together one of the biggest Collector’s Edition special features lists I’ve ever seen.

Read on for all the details!

Creepshow Synopsis

Masters of the macabre – writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero – conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic ’50s horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father’s Day cake. A meteor’s ooze makes everything…grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army.

Add the spirited performances of an excellent cast (Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini, and you have a non-stop, thrilling ride that “plays like an anthology of human phobias” (Roger Ebert)!

Check out this new, killer artwork!
