My mom always referenced this line, when she'd get out of a car, back when I was a kid. Crazy to think that she's the reason I'm a horror/thriller media fan---yet she no longer believes in watching this kinda stuff lol.
Leslie Nelson in the first movie and George Kennedy in the second movie... May they both rest in peace, since they are comedy legends that will not be forgotten.
George Romero was a awesome guy. He had a haunted attraction in Pittsburgh. It was called George Romero's Fright Nights. It consisted of 3 haunted walkthroughs, two were based off of Romero's Night of the Living Dead, one was the the cemetery and the other was the farmhouse. The 3rd was called The Hall of Nightmares, and had scenes from Creepshow, including Fluffy himself.
Can we just take a moment to give props to Old Chief Woodenhead? A pretty deep revenge tale with an enchanted tobacco store statue that actually made me shed a tear. I recall catching CREEPSHOW 2 on Cable TV as a kid in the 80's. That segment always gets me. Especially the scream from that young punk with the long hair...😂❤
Trust me. You DON’T want a Tales From the Crypt revival. *Bad Crypt keeper recast voice “HOWDY fem-boys and GHOULS. Tonight’s show is a spine chilling western themed tale of white guilt, micro-aggressions, and rampant transphobia. We call this horrifying little yarn “Trail of Queers!”
Fun fact. In the early 1900's or late 1800's there was a wealthy family, I believe in the upper Midwest, the elderly father, who was cared for by his daughter, would beat her with his cane, and when she got married, he had the husband killed, so she killed him with his own cane. He did not come back for cake though
Damn, a George Romero version of The Stand would have been amazing! Well, assuming he’d be allowed to make it as a trilogy instead of trying to cram everything into a single movie.
Worse or worst: buried up to the neck on a tidal beach- A) Facing the sea B) Facing away from the sea Facing it you would get to see it coming. Facing away you would only hear it...until it suddenly started sloshing around you. I think "B" is worst. Not seeing it coming would be unbearably tense.
These movies along with Return of the Living Dead kickstarted my love of horror.and they were a bit shocking to my 8 year old self.maybe I thought Return was real because of the intro 🤣🤘 thnx as always JoBlo!
The Raft plus Nightmare on Elm Street made me terrified of being sucked into my bed by a goo monster and then shot out in a fountain of blood. I still can’t watch The Raft cuz it terrifies me so much. 😅
Two great movies I can watch over and over again. Great work bringing together all the behind the scenes stuff. While the first movie is an undeniable classic, the second one has a fantastic charm and some great camp that make for a very fun ride. Hats off to all involved in bringing us these great movies. 😁😎🍿📺
I adore both these films, Just got in the Arrow remaster of Creepshow 2 a couple weeks ago. Overall I do love the 1st one the best, BUT, my favorite story of the 2 films is on Creepshow 2, that being The Raft, of all the stories on both films The Raft is my favorite, and I wish someday someone would make that story into a feature length film of it's own. I think it could be done in a horror masterpiece kind of way under the right director and cast.
Awesome deep dive y'all did here! Appreciate all the production facts shared, it really enhances that sense of nostalgia for me. Much thanks JoBlo Horror Originals team!!
I REMEMBER WATCHING CREEPSHOW AND CREEPSHOW 2 ON TNT'S MONSTERVISION WHEN I WAS YOUNGER TRUE STORY. AND NOW THAT I HAVE CREEPSHOW ON DVD THAT I BOUGHT AT FYE BACK IN 2006 AND WATCHING CREEPSHOW 2 ON TUBI IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
The Dawn of the Dead newspaper print ad at the 3:48 mark I immediately recognised as Australian noticeably Melbourne, Victoria. Of the Drive-ins listed only Coburg still exists and is run by Village although Hoyts still has many cinemas. I still remember seeing Batman ‘89 for the first time there.
I think Something to Tide you Over and Old Chief Woodn'head are my two favorite segments from across the two - the first because I love me some villainous Leslie Nielsen plus the music is haunting, and the second because that cigar store statue costume was fantastic and quite eerie - it would've been easy enough just to make the statue come alive into a normal guy, but leaving him as a walking statue makes it so much spookier, with the actor's stiff movements and dead eyes.
So many classics from that era that I still love to rewatch. Creepshow both 1 & 2 I try to get a watch around Halloween. King during his cocaine era was a lot of hit and misses but it was always entertaining for me.
This used to come on several times a year on my local uhf channel. However until I got the VHS many years later I had no idea "They're Creeping Up on You" existed because it was always edited out for tv.
It's funny that Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau went from both being in "The Fog" but with no scenes together, to then in this film where almost all of her scenes are with him! They were a delight in this!
Ya know, I always thought Ted Denson's head underwater was shot upside down and Ted was just hunched over a tank and could simply lift his head up if he ran outta breath.
Thanks for making such great and entertaining videos, gotta love Creepshow, except that 3rd movie. Speaking of Creepshow 3, are you guys ever gonna look at the making of that movie? I'm wondering how that one was made, I hope you do. Anyways keep on making great videos.
I would absolutely pay a top premium price to see that lost hour of Creepshow. Like finding a lost treasure. Love you guys, I never miss a single upload!👍
King may play it too broad in The Lonesome Death but otherwise that story is my favorite of the first movie. The idea of something foreign growing in you killing you is terrifying and of course parallels the awful reality of cancer and other conditions. Then the end shot of the alien weeds spreading towards town as it's about to rain is nigh on apocalyptic.
I'm forever stuck with the memory of being out in Arizona so my buddy could meet some chick he tricked over some phone chat. She and her parents actually let us strangers crash and they were GREAT hosts. I sat around everyday just smoking pot and drinking beers while watching Cartoon Network. One day her mom was showing us around and next thing I know I'm at the FN lake fron 'The Raft'!? Like WHAT?!? Are you serious?!?..but the sad part is no camera and no one but me ever saw the movie. Like maaaaaan!
"I want my cake, Bedelia!" "This is going to be extremely painful, Mr. Verrill!" " I can hold my breath a long time!" " I drove out there with the remains of three human beings... well, two human beings and Wilma." "Bastards!"
After finding it in a box of my dads old DVD’s, Creepshow instantly became my favorite horror movie. For my birthday later I got a T-Shirt and the reprinted Comic and I can’t be any happier
One scare gag used twice. Leslie Neilson locks the door and shudders. The waterlogged zombies are on the other side. How to escape?can they get through? Hope not! He turns. There they are. Right behind him. The whole audience screams! Same happens in IT when the girl pops her dad's head with the toilet top. You think she's safe. She's gasping. She turns. Pennywise is floating right above her for minutes now. Whole audience screamed so loudly, I jumped!
I love creepshow and creepshow 2. I think creepshow is one of the best horror anthology movie's. I like every segment in creepshow and creepshow 2. I think the crate is my favorite segment in the first creepshow and the raft is my favorite segment in creepshow 2. I really like all the segment's in both film's though. I also really like the creepshow TV series.
I am still waiting for a good screen version of The Stand. The 94 miniseries is good for what it had to deal with but the newer one low key hurt my soul. I really hope it will get a good treatment someday.
I love 2. I just wish they Included one more story. 3 stories just felt a bit short, although I guess the animated wrap-around was a little more fleshed out in 2 to make up for it.
I'm surprised the fact that the actor playing Sam Whitemoon in the "Old Chief Wood'nhead" segment wasn't actually Native American. It was Holt McCallany in his first major film role. In redface.
Everyone of the stories in BOTH movies was actually from the original CREEPSHOW comic that I was reading when I was 6 in 1964… King just adapted them for the screenplay…. I remember I thought it was awesome they adapted all those great stories…
"Thanks for the ride, lady. Thanks."
I still say that every time a friend, male or female, gives me a ride.😂
That was the best story
Bahahaha!! I love it! Best line from Creepshow 2! My friends and I used to say that all the time when we were kids. Good times.
My mom always referenced this line, when she'd get out of a car, back when I was a kid.
Crazy to think that she's the reason I'm a horror/thriller media fan---yet she no longer believes in watching this kinda stuff lol.
I remember watching it for the first time on tv as a kid and i was laughing so hard my stomach hurt. 😂😂😂😂
I would totally be down for a 3 hour cut of creepshow.
That would be an absolute amazing gift!!!
And where the hell are these original prints archived?!
Here's our money; take it...
Agreed!!! 👍💯
I love both Creepshow and Creepshow 2. They both have creepy stories with dark humor. Plus, both of them have Naked Gun actors.
To be honest the most horrifying part are. those. damn. COCKROACHES. 🪳 🪳 🪳
Truth. The best of times!
Leslie Nelson in the first movie and George Kennedy in the second movie... May they both rest in peace, since they are comedy legends that will not be forgotten.

That young punk ended up starring in Fight Club ("His name was Robert Paulson") and Mindhunter...
@@b.l.fisher8230oh wow, I never knew that was him in fight club until I read your comment.
@@sho-nuffmadrigal6857 Oh yeah, David Fincher is a fan...
The first Creepshow hit the mark, with sensational score, great pace, savini effects…perfect horror anthology.
2 is better
I keep telling folks that if creepshow can comeback as a tv series than why not a tales from the darkside revival and tales from the crypt revival?
I don't know about Darkside, but Tales from the Crypt has rights issues.
Trust me. You DON’T want a Tales From the Crypt revival.
*Bad Crypt keeper recast voice
“HOWDY fem-boys and GHOULS. Tonight’s show is a spine chilling western themed tale of white guilt, micro-aggressions, and rampant transphobia. We call this horrifying little yarn “Trail of Queers!”
@@kgpspyguyexactly lol I did read that in the crypt keeper’s voice , though. ❤😂
@@kgpspyguy Haha.
Darkside is still on TV. Every Saturday morning on a channel called Comet. Good stuff on that channel brings back memories ❤

George was like a surrogate father to me i grew up with his films and me and some pals collected as much info on him as possible. RIP George.
I forgot he dieded
Damn, a George Romero version of The Stand would have been amazing! Well, assuming he’d be allowed to make it as a trilogy instead of trying to cram everything into a single movie.
I watched both of these as a kid, and let me tell you, those monster effects, especially the ending to The Raft, haunted me. Great stuff.
I CAN HOLD MY BREATH FOR A LONG TIME !!!!!
This quote comes up in various contexts in our household, always denoting a foregone conclusion.
❤❤❤❤
Worse or worst: buried up to the neck on a tidal beach-
A) Facing the sea
B) Facing away from the sea
Facing it you would get to see it coming. Facing away you would only hear it...until it suddenly started sloshing around you.
I think "B" is worst. Not seeing it coming would be unbearably tense.
The first two creepshow movies are bloody great. 😀👍
And the 3rd is bloody AWFUL.
@@Rando1975 I agree and I never saw the third film.
Creepshow. My favorite horror movie of all time. The title card has to be the best.
I've always enjoyed both, with the original being the superior. A great double-feature!🍿
When I saw this movie as a kid my dad told me that Fluffy was a Tasmanian Devil, lol.
If Fluffy was made into a plush toy, even small scale, I'd buy it; here's my money - take it...
@@thedys70❤
I remember watching these with my dad around Halloween on HBO as a kid. I love both of these movies. “the Crate” is always my favorite.
Both old school classics! 👍
I would absolutely love to see the 3hr cut of Creepshow.
This was awesome! I have an unabashed love for Creepshow, and it’s always nice to see it celebrated. Keep up the great work!
These movies along with Return of the Living Dead kickstarted my love of horror.and they were a bit shocking to my 8 year old self.maybe I thought Return was real because of the intro 🤣🤘 thnx as always JoBlo!
Both are awesome. Always watch them every year during October.
The Raft plus Nightmare on Elm Street made me terrified of being sucked into my bed by a goo monster and then shot out in a fountain of blood. I still can’t watch The Raft cuz it terrifies me so much. 😅

Our pleasure, dude
I had no idea the little boy in the first Creepshow was Stephen King's son!, that is a big WOW, he grew up looking like his twin.
That's right, little Kevin King
And also a terrific writer as well I just love his books but I always think of that little kid with the voodoo doll😂

The voiceover guy's vocal fry is like nails on a chalkboard
"Thanks for the ride, Lady"
We could have had Romero helmed versions of both The Stand and Pet Sematary? I want to go live in that time line.
Creepshow 2 is one of my all time favorite movies! Love the animation cut scenes. "It eats meat"
Ya know, I always thought Ted Denson's head underwater was shot upside down and Ted was just hunched over a tank and could simply lift his head up if he ran outta breath.
that seems a lot safer!

" I drove out there with the remains of three human beings... well, two human beings and Wilma."
"Bastards!"
The Raft is one of the best short stories by King imo. What a fuckin ending 💀
Fluffy still scares the shit out of me.
Fluffy deserves his own movie; Tom can direct
@@thedys70 No CGI, just practical effects. It'd be glorious!
@@HonduDan and prequelesque too, set in the many decades prior when he was captured in Africa, prior to his consignment
“It’s faaather’s day! And I got my cake.”
And just to make sure everybody is aware of the 2007 Creepshow documentary - Just Desserts? Very much worth a look, at 90 minutes.

How could i miss this upload.
One of my cousins and I used to crank call each other with lines from both movies. Other movies too, but Creepshow lines were the main quotes.
Used to love when these came on HBO as a boy
Awesome 😎 saw this for my 11th bday party!! Great memories!! Thanks brother!!🙏
"I BEAT YOU! I BEAT Y........"
.............No Swimming.
Dont forget the killer soundtrack 😂
The raft is my favorite creepshow story
Thanks for sharing this awesome retrospect on these classic movies!!! 🤩🎥🍿 A huge fan here for sure! 😻👽🦝
Creep show is great my favorite story is The Crate George Romero and Stephen King a great collaboration
The Crate was my favorite!
I love creepshow and creepshow 2. I think creepshow is one of the best horror anthology movie's. I like every segment in creepshow and creepshow 2. I think the crate is my favorite segment in the first creepshow and the raft is my favorite segment in creepshow 2. I really like all the segment's in both film's though. I also really like the creepshow TV series.
i remember watching the movie as a kid, it was black and white and played with a vhs tape. the tape was from a rent movie house
Hal Holbrook and adrienne barbeau were also in the film the fog
I'm surprised King didn't like Viveca Lindfors' depiction of Aunt Bedelia. I've always loved her performance and thought it was very memorable.
King is the last person to criticize someone's acting. His performance in Creepshow is amateur hour 😁
Fun fact...in weeds , the priest that jordy is watching on tv was my local priest in wheeling west virginia. Father Gornick
Creepshow > any other anthology horror film
METEOR SHIT!!!
we got some mileage outta that quote back in the day!
Find something funky in the back garden or local park? METEOR SHIT!!!
Saw both films in the theater. The first one is one of my top 5 favorite horror films. Two is also very good.
Brilliant stuff
My alll time fav classic Creepshow 💎💎💎💎🥰 ... If You Can Hold Your Breath!!!!!😝
The Mustache, cometh 😮.
The crate scared me as a kid and the raft scared me as a teen!
Loved this movie and...those comic books, were some of my favorites..❤❤❤❤❤
Two of my fav lines
I can hold my breath.....for a loooooong time!
Where's my cake Bedelia
Or and the crate is just creepy
I am still waiting for a good screen version of The Stand. The 94 miniseries is good for what it had to deal with but the newer one low key hurt my soul. I really hope it will get a good treatment someday.
I'd love to see the original ideas in full, regardless of the length!
Love the channel, especially this cover. But please please please, it's RomERo not RomIRo.
Leslie Neilson played that part perfectly
I like both movies, though I prefer 2 (It's creepier to me). What a pair of anthologies! They're definitely worth a watch or two.
I love 2. I just wish they Included one more story. 3 stories just felt a bit short, although I guess the animated wrap-around was a little more fleshed out in 2 to make up for it.
@@MonkeeKnucklez2 I agree. They had room for one more story, but yeah, the budget I guess killed that notion.
the rafted was filmed two blocks from my grandparents home where they lived since 1976.
I'm surprised the fact that the actor playing Sam Whitemoon in the "Old Chief Wood'nhead" segment wasn't actually Native American. It was Holt McCallany in his first major film role. In redface.
I like the water sludge with gratuitous boob shots and the crate monster in the box under the stairs
$3200 penthouse? Good luck finding a 1 bedroom for that now
and without roaches!
Considering the insane amount of practical fx and makeup, 5mo isn't surprising. It takes time to get those things just right.
23:27 what exactly makes this character an anti hero?
Everyone of the stories in BOTH movies was actually from the original CREEPSHOW comic that I was reading when I was 6 in 1964… King just adapted them for the screenplay…. I remember I thought it was awesome they adapted all those great stories…
Excuse me… the comic was Tales from the Crypt”…lol
Simply an unspeakable, undescribable masterpiece of thrills, chills and spills. ❤😛 Smoke weed everyday 😛
Those were the days!! Why TF can't they do it this way again? I'm kinda glad to hear that the cockroaches won one last round on set. 😂😅
Creepshow 2 is my favorite
The show on shudder is worth the subscription alone, I was really impressed with it.
Damn you, man! Creepshow 3 was a masterpiece, I tell you!!!
Absolutely loved creepshow
Unpopular opinion, Creepshow 2 is better than Creepshow 1.
