Creepshow

This comic is great but unfortunately the binding came loose right away and came apart so I have to order another one

This is a comic book version of the screenplay based on Stephen King stories. The drawing and story included in the book hold true to the movie and the plots of the different stories included. King's love of the macabre and unusual twists comes through even in the abbreviated version of these stories.If you like the movie, then this book is a must have for any King fan.

The creepshow comic book came in the mail today. I didn't quite know if it was really it because I only ordered it last Saturday.I wasn't disappointed at all. You can see how they try to make the characters in the movie look the same as in the comic book. The art work was good. The first one was Father's Day which was exactly like the movie in every way. The second story was the Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill which could have been a little bit better. The other stories were good especially Something to Tide You Over which I thought was a bit funny.GET IT!!!!!!It's a great paperback...

If you like horror comics and anything by Stephen King, then you will LOVE "Creepshow". This book ties in with the movie and it's some of Kings best work. Wrote in the best "Tales From the Crypt" style, its a rollercoaster ride of terror and laughs. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is one of my faves, both in the book and the movie.(Steve King is a GREAT actor, isn't he?)The illusrations are by the brilliant comic artist, Bernie Wrightson and when paired with King's flair for the macabre, well; you can't go wrong. So buy it, buy it, buy it! You won't regret it. (FYI: Stephen King's son, Owen was the boy who got even with his dad for throwing away his comic book, in the movie. heehee, everyone needs a good voodoo doll!)

I read this book when I was in second grade. I watched the movie when I was 4. I don't remember much of the movie. I only remember from the movie the wrap-around stories, 'Father's Day', 'The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verril' (Weeds), and 'The Crate'. But, those memories were great! I just wish I could find a copy of the book somewhere. This is going to be my last resort, because my mom doesn't like me ordering books online (she's the one with the credit card!!). I hope all of the people who read this review find a copy of the book 'Creepshow', because it is one of Stephen King's rarest books ever sold. I can't even find it at used bookstores! Here is some short details of the short stories in this book: Father's Day: 4 years after the death of an old man waiting for his Father's Day cake from his daughter (I want my caaaaaake!), he returns from the grave for his cake. And he gets it! The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verril: A New Hampshire farmer finds a meteor in his backyard that has an alien vegetative being that grows on any thing it touches. Here is the alien's thoughts form the original story, Weeds: Jordy-food A fine planet. A wet planet. A ripe planet. Cleaves Mills-food The weeds began to grow toward town. The Crate: A college professor finds a hungry being in a crate, and takes it home to his cheating wife... Something to Tide You Over: A TV star drowns his wife who cheated on him and her new boyfriend (played by Ted Danson in the movie) and tapes their deaths. The next day, they are gone. Instead, THEY find HIM! They're Creeping Up on You: A clean freak's apartment is infested by cockroaches; mayhem ensues... Thank you for listening to my review!!!
