“A devilish delight” – Fantastica Daily

Prepare to be scared by the fantastically freaky fright fest that is Creepshow.

Created by two of horror’s most prolific maestros director George A Romero (Night Of The Living Dead) andwriter Stephen King (The Shining) this is a blood-curdling anthology of twisted tales inspired by the E.C.comics of the 1950s and 1960s.

To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, the hair-raising gore-flick makes its DVD debut courtesy of UniversalPictures. Presented in a stunning slipcase this two-disc special edition is packed full of brand new specialfeatures and will be available to buy on 22 October 2007.

A concerned father throws away his child’s comic book and the ghoulish stories come to life with tales ofzombie fathers, green space fungus, caged ancient creatures, the living dead and the skin-crawling man versusbug story featuring millions of cockroaches.

Watch out for some great star turns from the likes of Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun) Ted Danson (Cheers) andEd Harris (The Abyss).
