YEAH!!!!!!! Welcome back Iain!!!!!! We missed you so much. Thank you Jess for filling in. 🙂🙂🙂
@@THEBaldEagle1 LMAO Get yo ass outta here
Iain is back, and it is Creepshow. Thank you TH-cam Jesus!
I just want to thank Jess for filling in, really enjoyed him. With that said, it's great to see Gary and Iain back together to review this absolute classic.
I feel like for us OffTheShelf fans, seeing Iian on screen again is like seeing Captain America catch Thors hammer. Everybody is cheering for him right now, your fan base is 10/10
FOR FUCKING REAL,I KNOW THAT'S HOW I FELT...TOO FINALLY HE'S BACK!!!!
Yawn...
That monster in the crate segment scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Dude seriously, it came without warning and my dad fell asleep when we watched it... 😳
That ROACH segment scared the crap out of me as a kid.
Agree. That creature gave me nightmares for years,especially the teeth on it.
@@john_blues The roach segment scares the crap out of me as an adult!
You and me both, brother. I saw it first when I was 7. After watching that segment, I slept in the hallway by my grandmom's door for 4 months.
Where’s Jess?! Who’s the new guy?...
Jokes aside, I’m glad that Iain has made a return. Gary and Iain’s back and forth chemistry is unmatched. But hopefully we can also see Jess in future reviews as he has been great filling in for a while.
The man. The myth . The legend. Iain is back.
Hi Mako!!
@@belinda35_77 Hello Belinda it's always a treat when we find each other like this !
@@Mako2401
It is.
Everytime I come across your name, in my head, my brain goes "MAAKOOO" yesss!! Lol
YT is such a big place and I get a kick outta randomly running into you in these little corners of it!
Till the next time,
be well, friend :)
Ian returning for one of my favorite horror anthologies. A bright spot in a otherwise dark day.
Iain we missed you so much 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 A big thanks to Jess for his great commentary ❤
IAINS BACK
👍👍
Great to have the dynamic duo back together for another great review.
Though I for one would love to see a bit of three way action with our boy Jess in the future, who made that seat his own. Fantastic channel lads 😎
Stephen King and George A. Romero were good friends, and always wanted to work with each other on a film. This was their opportunity, and they took it.
The crew was also the crew for Sleepaway Camp (1983) according to Jonathan Tiersten.
Rice Krispies were used as maggots on the corpse's eyes in the first story, "Father's Day". In addition, real maggots were also utilized.
Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau appeared in The Fog (1980), however they didn't share any scenes together.
The music playing on Upson Pratt's jukebox at the beginning of "They're Creeping Up on You!" is the same instrumental that plays over the ending credits of The Evil Dead (1981).
The only George A. Romero film where he didn't write the screenplay.
Saw this in the theater when I was 14 and LOVED it! I really loved The Crate and the mystery behind the monster.
Oh yes! What a film for Iain to make his return! Awesome! 🌟 Please pass on my thanks to Jess, he's awesome and especially with such shoes to fill, can't wait to see him again! Hopefully the 3 of you sometime would be epic! Have a great Thursday Shelfers! 👊 👊 👊 👊 👊 👊
The crate: 'just tell it to call you Billie, you bitch!'......one of the BEST LINES EVER!!!
Classic line! Lol.
I had nightmares about the raft for years but never knew what it was from.
Lol that one was definitely one that “got under your skin” 😉 creeped me out too
Welcome back! You should do some reviews together all three! :)
Thanks Jess for filling in, hope to see you back someday 👍🏻
Ok, I’m new here, but not only do I love you guys’ commentary, that “Where’s Apone?” shirt RULES!!
You did this justice boys, Creepshow is one of the greatest horror anthology movies ever. Steer well clear of Creepshow 3 though...a viewing experience akin to getting a boil on your ass.
Oh man I made the mistake of watching creepshow 3! Had to turn it off it was so bad and I don’t usually do that.
Creepshow 3 is best forgotten
@@markpugh6808 the film that shall not be named.
The ashtray used to kill the Father in Father's Day makes an appearance in every segment if you look for it.
Really? I gotta remember that when I watch it again.
IAIN HAS RETURN!!! AWESOME!!! And he returns with reviewing Creepshow! How ironic! Because Creepshow is one of my all time favorite horror films! My favorite segment is "Something To Tide You Over!" Mainly because of Leslie Nielsen's performance! He's best known for comedy, but I never thought he could play a sly and an intimating murderer! He really surprised me! I personally enjoyed all the segments, besides the last one. Not because I'm afraid of bugs, but just how slow and boring it was. And compared to the other 4 stories, it just feels out of place. But that's just my opinion. Creepshow is a MUST WATCH if you're a horror fan! Thanks for reviewing this one guys! And welcome back again, Iain! We missed you! And tell Jess we really appreciated his presents while Iain was away! 👍
I am thrilled that Iain is back. Yeahhhhhhh baby! I missed you two together so much.
This is probably my favorite movie of all time. I saw it when it first came out on VHS in June of 1983, and not only do I own an original clamshell Warner VHS copy of the film, I own THE copy that I first watched on that day in 1983. Snagged it at the video store during a sale in 1986. I"ve probably watched this over 300 times. Never get bored of it.
Back when the VHS covers looked like books. Cool find!
The dynamic duo is back! Jess is awesome too though. 😁
I watch this every Halloween I even love it’s sequel creepshow 2 and tales from the darkside
Same here , Creepshow 2 Is just as good as 1 imo , and I even watch It slightly more.
They're both timeless with classic Intros. Creepshow 1 , 2 , and Night Of The Demons
I watch every Halloween without fail. We need Creepshow 4!
"Thanks for the ride lady!! "
C-L-A-S-S-I-C!!!! Great time & hella fun to watch. Must viewing for all horror genre fans. I love horror anthologies. Like most...my favorite is “The Crate”, but all I thought were interesting. Ed Harris bustin’ out the dance moves. Loved the lighting & framing, just like the comics that were also great. A annual Halloween view is spot on. Creepshow 2 is alright, however Creepshow 3 has issues. Love Stephen King, Tom Savini . RIP Hal Holbrook. Love the new “Creepshow”on Shudder! Long live Shudder!! Cheers!!!
I was a wee lad on trip out on a London bus tour to see the Oxford street lights. Now, as I recall, it was absolutely pissing it down, causing massive condenstion and window fogging. I can't recall the lights, but I do recall at one point giving the window a good rubbing and seeing the markee poster for creepshow (the same one in the thumb nail above), and it scared the gubbins off me!
Why am I only seeing this review in 2024? Love you guys.
Good to see you back brother! Couldnt sleep so once again this is perfect for my saturday night, take care lads. PS Kudos to Jess he was a good fill in.
YAY 👉🏻 I adored Creepshow as a kid! And I am so happy to see Iain again! The world is well again!!!
Edit: I would love to see all three of you together (with Jess)! You all are wonderful at what you do!
What a treat! This is still the most EC Comics-est movie to me, no offense to the actual Tales from the Crypt films. I fell in love after seeing it first in my early teens. It just nails that spooky/goofy vibe perfectly. And you know we also wanted our cake and we got it too, cause you're back Iain! We missed ya, pardner. Always looking forward to Thursday mornings cause of you guys. Keep it up, stay safe and keep on being glorious. Big love from across the pond!
My favorite moment in the film is Leslie Nielsen saying, "Blub, blub, blub......".
NO WAY!!!! another movie I was sure I had seen (but I think I was thinking "tales from the Crypt!") - does that mean Atkins starred in this and ALSO Halloween 3 all in the same period! Now THAT is legendary! Thank you guys!!!!
Iain I totally agree with you. Tom Atkins was in both movies, Creepshow and Season of the Witch, I love that guy!
Great to see Iain coming back to join Gary for their Review of the classic CREEPSHOW (1982)
PS: Those drowned zombies are better looking cosplay of the Nameless One! Props to whoever made that!
The boys are back together hallelujah 👊👊👊
Happy to have Ian back. Welcome back!
Great to have Iain back, I’d still love to see all 3 of you moving forward as I like Jess as well.
Keep up the good work guys look forward to the next instalment 👍🏻
My parents showed me this as a child in around 2009. Glad this horror transcends generations.
Oh man ur comment makes me so old! 🤣
Your parents are cool.
Body bags is my favourite.
Tobe Hooper’s Eye segment is awesome
Jess was awesome 👏 and a great substitute anytime but wasn't the same without Iain welcome back and this is one of my favorite movies as a kid and still love to watch it every once and a while great vid guys!
Loooong overdue THANK YOU GUYS 😊
Covid got you pushing to many pencils Ian.
;)
Great seeing ya'll back even though we like Jess also. Good work guys.
I think "From a Whisper to a Scream" is an underrated horror anthology. There is crazy taboo-level stuff in its four segments, and the wraparound story involves Vincent Price, in his last horror film role, telling a reporter that the Southern town they're in is the epicenter of evil.
The director Jeff Burr directed a slew of horror movie sequels like "Pumpkinhead II," "Stepfather II," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III," and two "Puppet Master" sequels.
Personally the last story was actually the most terrifying for me (I genuinely cried at one point 🙂) and it made me realize that when we see things like monsters and people killing each other it is scary but we don't really feel the danger because we've generally never been in those situations we don't know what it's like. But we've all been in contact with cockroaches and bugs and food gone bad and filled with some parasites or whatever so we KNOW what it's like and to see it on screen makes us remember that so it's really really terrifying...
Good to see Iain back.
Lain!! I miss those late night graveyard shifts watching you play read dead with a cup of joe.
It's a shame King played it so silly in The Lonesome Death as the story itself is quite horrific. The idea of this thing consuming your body like a cancer and that type of body horror is always terrifiying and the implication at the end that it's spreading to a potential apocalypse! There's also something tragic about dying alone like that. But it's all undermined by the goofy tone.
So I just gotta say, I love you guys. If you're ever in Philadelphia in the states, I owe you gents a few drinks.
Not gonna lie, at first I wasn't that happy about Jess filling in - it didn't feel the same. I must say though, he has won me over so I'd be happy to see him as a "special guest" in the future. Maybe even a weekly episode focused on some niche or thematic collection of movies with him.
That being said, there's something about the dynamic between Gary and Ian that makes this channel top tier.
I love Creepshow 1 and 2 really classic stuff both movies were shot so well and it looks like a comic book! My favorite is the Hitchiker story “Thanks For The Ride Lady!” I hope you guys get a chance to do Body Bags and Tales From The Hood! ❤️
Hell yes! Glad you're back Iain. Was wondering where you were mate! Good to see you and back to reviewing movies.
Concerning the cockroaches in “They’re Creeping up on You”, they weren’t purchased individually. The Museum of Natural History sent two entomologists (Ray Mendez and David Brody) into Trinidad caves to collect the 18,000 OG roaches by plunging holes into waist deep rivers of bat dung from which the roaches emerged. The roaches were bred by the same two entomologists on set in a trailer they called the “Roach Motel.” As you can imagine, most of the cast and crew were freaked out sharing the set with the roaches, especially during shooting when they would get loose on set. Several of the roaches escaped the entomologists while onset, during shooting. The ones whom weren’t lucky enough to escape were exterminated. I got this info from watching the behind the scenes film “Just Desserts”- The Making of Creepshow.”
I wouldn't be hip on the idea of sharing a movie set with roaches either!
Ian, my man!!!. Jess is cool but I've watch you guys for years and I love yall banter. And Ian has my kinda humor. He came back on right film too. Awesome
The horror anthology is really the best kind of movie in my opinion. A couple years ago, I got the reprint of the comic for my personal library. When I was a kid back in the early 1980s, my mother refused to buy it for me. Years later, I made up for lost time.
I actually read the comic book adaptation of Creepshow before seeing the movie. I found it in the local library when I was around 8 years old I think. The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill gave me apocalyptic nightmares about the meteor shit for weeks on end.
I stared at my moms creepshow comic for HOURS! I was obsessed over the illustrations.
Yea I have that! The "Jordy Verrill" one loses all its "comedy" and is just sad, making it far more horrific.
That's AMICUS studios that did the quiet cult classics of the early 70s, such as - VAULT OF HORROR & HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD, of which there wouldnt be a CREEP SHOW with out.
my favourite stories are SOMETHING TO TIDE YOU OVER & THE CRATE
If any horror fan hasn't watched Creepshow by now - one of the best anthology horror films ever - then throw in the towel ....
In the intro when iain said "i want my cake", i wish Gary would have replied with "and eat it" 😅😅😅😅🎉❤
I’m born in 81 and I remember just staring at my moms creepshow comic book for HOURS! I just LOVE the illustrations in the comic! If anyone hasn’t seen the comic check it out! ✌️
Where’s Jess 🤔
The boys are back
I’ve loved this film since I was a kid . I’ve got to give it to the crate though . Fluffy’s still my favourite horror monster .
I see the shirt game is on point for both of you this week! Nice! 😆
The scariest segment in Creepshow was the one about the cockroaches! I'm deathly afraid of cockroaches so that's why I freak out seeing millions of them attack the old man even though he was a jerk!
Jess was great! and welcome back Iain I missed u so much I grew up on this show
Well look who's back...THE DOLL BEHIND IAIN!!!! I mean Iain of course, welcome back old friend 👍
Great to see you both!!!
One thing that really adds to the film is the musical score and sound effects, and now having mentioned it, I think you are required to review number three.
Yay! So glad to see you guys back together! Would love to still have Jess on sometimes though as well. He did a great job in Iain's absence. =)
The Stephen King short always depressed me as a kid, and it was my least favorite story in the movie.
22:12 “she blows him” then Gary’s expression 👌 priceless
Interesting that George A Romero did an anthology movie with Leslie Nielsen of all IAIN'S BACK!!!
honey, this ATM machine just called me an asshole !!!
I think the zombie effects in Father's Day look distinctly like the drawings in comic books. So I think it was purposeful, the design.👍🖤
Oh man! That thing under the stairs... nuh uh, no way! Scared the crap out of me when I was 8...
I wasn't aware of Creepshow till I saw Creepshow 2 in 2001.The Raft is still my favorite Creepshow story from the movies. In the 90s I loved Tales From The Crypt and EC comics including the Amicus adaptations which are really under rated. Not sure how Creepshow went under my radar.
Great to see swedish actress Viveca Lindfors! Also great in Stargate and Exorcist 3. :)
Ah, lads... You gotta do part 2! ......."Thanks for the ride, lady!"
Oh I remember going to see this in the cinema when it first came out. lol And 'The Crate', I also remember trying to make my own Puppet 'Fluffy' based on the images I saw in Savini's make up SFX book he brought out around about the that time. My fav segment was the Stephen King one. So iconic and so, so Creepshow. Great stuff!
Welcome back, Iain. Glad to see the body snatchers didn't get you after all.
I will admit that Fathers Day is probably my least favorite segment because there is no way I am going to root for an evil old bastard coming back to life and killing people. If that happened, I would get Ash from Evil Dead to make sure that old bastard stays in the ground.
he's beauty, he's grace, it's really good to see your face. love you iain.
Glad Ian is back, was wondering where he's been the last several reviews?
Great to see Ian back! Hope we can see a review by the three together sometime!
Been waiting for this one! Good job boys
Good to see ya back iain. Hope ya keep jess in the discussions :) You 2 are great together discussing the slower movies :)
You guys are very good! I always look forward to your posts. Wish I could work with you.
Welcome back Iain 😃😃 shout-out to Jess
Welcome back Iain.
Wow Ed Harris is pretty young in this role. I liked him in Enemy at the Gates ww2 movie as a German sniper.
Love your channel gentlemen there’s other reviews on u tube but yours is the best I never comment but just whated u guys to know that keep up your work 👍
Leslie Nielsen as Jigsaw 😂 Lol
Just found your channel last week and I’m loving it so much! Can you please review Miami Connection thank you🤗
Creepshow!! Yes, finally. Either of you seen the TV series?
Welcome back Iain
creepshow is the 1st of i THINK 3 ed harris appearances in stephen king movie/tv mini-series the others being 'needful things' and 'the stand'...there might be others that i don't know of
This clasic antologies are fun movies, short histories that go right to the point, and dont have a big budget for effects and relay more in the direction and performances of the actors.
Im glad this review revive memories of seeing this as a child and get cautivated by those crazy tales
‘Creepshow’ is in my top 10 best Horror flicks ever. Don’t take the garish make-up fx too seriously though, they were trying to go for that vintage Horror comic book look, after all.
“Tale from the Darkside” was another awesome TV Horror anthology that was sort of born out of this project, btw. In fact, the theatrical movie was initially supposed to be “Creepshow 3”, which is far better than the actual “Creepshow 3”, of course.
Would you ever doing a video on the Twilight Zone movie, despite it being marred by the tragic death of Morrow and two children? The opening sequence is amazing; I think it's actually scarier than Creepshow.
I was scared by roaches a very little child, and have had an intense phobia of them all my life... so unfortunately, I had to NOPE the FUCK out of this when it comes to the final segment. Otherwise, great work as usual!
