I think the bloke who plays Dexter, his acting is superb when he comes running out to Mike, hysterical after seeing the janitor eaten.... absolutely authentic and believable.
Fact 1: the monster in the Crate was nicknamed Fluffy. Fact 2: Tom Savini did the makeup for the original movie. He also played the trashman complaining about the order form being cut out. Fact 3: the Television print usually leaves out "There Creaping Up On You".
"Something to Tide You Over" scared me as a kid the most. My mom as a huge Cheers fan and I loved The Naked Gun, and I went to the beach a lot with my mom growing up. Always kept an eye out for a mean spirited Frank Drebin taunting a drowning Sam Malone. My dream is also to go to a Stephen King book signing and just yell "METEOR SHIT!" when I'm next in line.
Another good Stephen King anthology film is Cat's Eye. It adapts some of his short stories. The Quitters Inc. story with James Woods is especially good.
"Well I'll be dipped in dog sh*t" is the punchline to a Fat Freddy's Cat cartoon from the 70s by Gilbert Shelton. Fairly well known in the underground hippie culture, basically it's what not to say upon finding a magic amulet that grants you one wish..
"The Crate" and "Something to Tide You Over" are my two favorites... (sort of a 1A and 1B situation). Funny fact: while filming, Ted Danson's kids were there. He was in the "zombie" make up and looking all scary and his kids went up and said "oh, hi daddy." and hugged him (recognizing him immediately) and weren't scared of the makeup :D
Seriously, when the girls came in and started singing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,my wife and I just lost it. You guys are absolutely wonderful, and obviously great parents. Love your content, please don't stop.
The Creepahow Chronology: -Creepshow (1982) -Creepahow 2 (1987) -Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990) (One of the segments was filmed and cut from Creepshow 2 also Tom Savini himself said this was the actual Creepshow 3 not that other movie that followed this one) -Creepshow III (2006) -Creepshow the TV series (2019-present)
"Is it like MAD Magazine?" Mrs. Movies made a deep cut reference as the Creepshow movies and comics are heavily inspired by the 1950s iteration of the Tales from the Crypt comics. About 20 years later the same dude who created Tales from the Crypt resurfaced and founded MAD Magazine. This means Madtv and Tales from the Crypt are siblings. Good one, Mrs. Movies!
Creepshow 2 only has three stories in it, but there was supposed to be two more, both adaptations from Stephen King. One was called "Cat From Hell", but was removed for being too gruesome, but was put into Tales From The Darkside The Movie (what fans call the REAL Creepshow 3). Another story, "Pinfall", was also scrapped from the project, but was given a comic adaptation as a bonus for the Creepshow 2 limited edition Blu-Ray by Arrow Video.
I just turned 15 when this came out and I already loved both King and Romero. This is the best horror anthology movie ever. The Crate is still my favorite.👍
I actuallly researched the "could you dig yourself out of sand" in part because of this movie! The popular conclusion is that it kills you by crushing suffocation loooong before you make progress getting out. Every time you inhale, the sand fills in the space until you have no room to inhale. I imagine wet sand would be worse because of the added weight. Thanks for the great reaction!!
The technical difficulties are adorable. Also, Dexter's Lab in the fourth story made me laugh, don't know how I missed it watching the movie so many times...
I love this movie and never tire of it. Anthologies weren't done very much back then. My favorite character is Henry. I love Hal Holbrook. He went to Denison University in Ohio and any time he was in town for alumni weekend or an event, he would stop in at the Buxton Inn where I was a busser. Super nice guy!
My favorite chapter is the buried alive story with Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson. The funny thing is a lot of people forget that Leslie Nielsen wasn't always just the comedic actor we would later on see him as he was a serious actor at 1 point I remember one episode of Kojack back in the day he played in a serious assassin
I saw this when I was 10 and thought it was so cool. The cockroach scene bursting out freaked me out... cool!!! And thanks Mrs Movies for almost crapping your pants for one of the best jump scare reactions ever in Father's Day, lol!!!
Creepshow is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for getting around to it. It is a nostalgic movie from my childhood. For what it is, it seems like a virtually unknown movie, when compared to the more well known classics. You hardly ever hear anyone talking about it, or reacting to it.
I never expected to hear a verse of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while watching Creepshow but that was adorable. Glad TH-cam suggested the Channel, this was fun reaction, really enjoyed the back an forth Commentary between you both.
31:37 You're not alone. During test screenings of this movie it was noticed that the unexpected sound of the broom falling ended up producing the biggest jump scare from the audience.
What really bothers me about that story is a lot of these stories have a bad person getting punished yet the guy in that story was just some random guy out in the country who's only real crime is he's not bright. I know King looks down on a lot of people out in the country as being ignorant but damn man even in his own novels not everyone in the country is like that, lot of them look down on people like that in his own novels cause it makes the rest of them look bad.
The kid in the wraparound is Joel King, son of Steven King. Joel King also writes under the pen name Joel Hill. Some of his stories was adapted into the Shutter streaming series.
Other horror anthologies from that era are Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Cat's Eye, Twilight Zone: The Movie. There were others too. It was a generation that grew up on Twilight Zone repeats so they were ready for it.
I've seen Creepshow 2. Never saw this one. Been enjoying the cameos by your daughter's lately. They're adorable. Chitty Chitty bang bang is one of my favorite movies as a kid. And I'm gonna guess "the raft" is the one from 2 that scared You. Good job.
It has been one of my favorite movies since 1986. I saw it at the age of 5 and watch it regularly. In fact, my wife and I watch it maybe a dozen times every few months. Sometimes back to back, like letting it play non stop. Christmas 2004 I was alone with about a gallon of bourbon. It played about 15 times through the night and the next day. I drank so much that I became sober the more I drank. Then I looked at the TV and was like, "haven't I watched this already. Then I found out nearly two days had gone by. What a time.
You daughter has awesome taste in movies! "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I saw back when I was a kid, born in 1970 but it was on TV. Fell in love with it. "Bedknobs And Broomsticks" is another great movie and I would not be surprised if they love that as well.
British film studio Amicus (Hammer's 'rival') made seven great anthology (aka portmanteau) films between 1965 and 1974: Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, Torture Garden, The House That Dripped Blood, Tales From the Crypt, Asylum, The Vault of Horror and Form Beyond the Grave plus 1981's The Monster Club. Some based on EC Comics and mostly starring Peter Cushing.
It's so scary and fun. As someone that collects old horror comics, this is one of my favorite horror movies, and in my opinion, the best dedication to those old comics from 1950's...even more so than the Tales from the Crypt movies or TV show. I almost consider this a comic book movie.
Just found this reaction today, Creepshow has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE movie since it came out. And just FYI... Tales from the Crypt had a 70's anthology movie PRIOR to Tales from the Darkside show, this, and before the show of the 90's. Also The Thing & Creepshow both came out at the same time so there was no "tribute" to it in "The Crate".
George Romero made a film titled, "Knight Rider's." Which is a cross between motorcycles, Knights and Ren Fares. It has Ed Harris, Tom Savini starring in it. And a short cameo from Stephen King as a spectator. The mall which the original "Dawn of the Dead" was filmed it. Now hosts a small "museum" shop in it featuring all sorts of horror memoribilia. There are actual setups from the "Dawn of the Dead" movie. And there is a setup of the fella from Creepshow who just wanted his cake.
I was surprised to hear you mention the Swamp Thing. It was filmed at Cypress Gardens Park, in Berkeley County, SC. Parts of The Patriot, The Notebook, The Tempest(1998), An Occasional Hell(starring Tom Berringer), and others were filmed there. I once helped relocate an eleven foot alligator from there to a rescue site. I'm surprised that you didn't mention that Adrienne Barbeau(Billie) was in The Swamp Thing.
Wow, turning back the clock with a 40th anniversary reaction. An entertaining and quirky film. All my friends were flocking to the theater for that one. Thanks folks.
"Something to Tide You Over" has always been my favorite segment. My father let me watch this movie when I was 5 years old, and that segment stuck with me all my life. Later, as an adult, I watched it again and understood why-the pure, menacing evil of Leslie Nielsen's character. I love it. And the acting in it is so much more real than in the other segments. I love the whole movie, but yeah, that's my favorite.
i have NEVER seen anyone react to my fave film of all time, thanks guys, i have my arm covered in a big creepshow tattoo and on a fanatics group on facebook lol, its the best movie from my childhood nothing beats it edit) just posted this to my facebook group so a lot of fans of creepshow will be watching xxx
I absolutely adore Nielsens character in “something to tide you over”. He was so calculated and creepy. Makes me wish he would’ve done more serious roles.
I love this movie! Great review! There's something special about early 80's movies and this one is fun camp! I also agree with the person who suggested "Cats Eye" as a good "double feature" with Creepshow. Keep up the great content!
"Listen! Do you smell something?!" Love it! "Nice car for a professor." Liam Neeson was a tremendous actor. He does shine here. On College professors owning expensive cars: Have you seen tuition costs in the past 40 years? lol God I hate cockroaches and bugs. That last one is a literal creep show...
Fun Fact at 24:31 the man with the red striped Tie is Chuck Aber who had a long standing role on "Mister Rogers Neighborhood " as Mr.Aber sometimes affectionately called "Neighbor Aber"
28:56 -- Straight out of H.P. Lovecraft's short story, "The Lurking Fear." All IT needs are two dissimilar eyes -- one blue, one brown. This is the best vignette out of this anthology. Hal Holbrook (RIP) Fritz Weaver (RIP)
Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook and Tom Atkins were all in The Fog and Barbeau and Atkins were in Escape From New York together and Gaylen Ross was in Dawn of the Dead.
that graveyard jumpscare used to get me when i watched this movie as a kid, i consider it one of the most terrifying jump scares in any movie ive ever seen
I looked this up and it turns out you're not actually allowed to kill bugs for filming. They have to use bugs that were already dead, which the wranglers apparently save for such purposes.
6:30 -- As an interesting side note.. Not only does the ashtray show up in all four segments, you can get a replica prop ashtray from a few places online...
22:58 lol I love when you can clearly tell something is already dead and someone still decides to [shoot] it...and then seeing it did nothing...wastes another bullet~
the episode about box is my favorite. One of my friends worked with Hal Holbrook on a horror movie. Barry created a monster for the movie. He also made the corpse thats hanging on the cross in the original unholy.
I'm was 11 when this came out. The crate gave me nightmares and scared the shit out of me. Now, I love it. Amazing how twisted a person can become as they grow up...hahahaha.
Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor from 1950s to 1980s before he turned to comedy with airplane! being his first bash at the genre, that's when he became really famous.
Thing about Leslie Nealson was he didn't start in comedy. One of the gimmicks of the movie _Airplane_ was it used known dramatic actors in comedic roles. And that's what got him started in comedy. Before that he was a dramatic actor. He could play twisted villains.
3:16 i remember as a kid we'd get hockey cards and use them in the spokes of our bikes to make clicking sounds,.. there are probably a few Gretzky RC cards dented or torn on the side of the road because of us 😢 anyways, another great reaction to a classic! 👍
Watched this thanks to my parents allowing a very young me to watch it in the mode nineties on VHS. And The Crate scared the crap out of me and still does to this day. Glad you guys watched this classic.
So awesome that you guys watched it. True story: Moved into a house that's been vacant for decades and had it fumigated. Big ass water bugs swarmed all over, freaking me out. Ever since, I've been unable to watch the last segment ever since because I lived it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
If you pay close attention, you'll see that the green marble ashtray that Bedelia Grantham used to kill her father in Father's Day shows up in every segment of Creepshow. It's on the desk of the professor in Jordy Verril's dream sequence, it's on Richard's night table when he goes to get his revolver, it's on the desk where Harry writes his letter to Wilma, and it's a soap dish in Upson Pratt's bathroom.
Great suggestion! While not an official sequel I think Trick 'r Treat would definitely fit the definition of spiritual sequel with the clear comic book inspired roots and the way each tale has a theme/moral to it.
You probably know this now, but the kid is Joel King, son of Steven King, who became a horror writer under the name Joel Hill. Some of Joel Hill's stories were adapted for the Creepshow television series, along with his father.
Actually, there are three Creepshow movies. My former roommate had all three, I believe in a box set (I might be wrong about the box set; he may have just had them individually). And as for the tv show, I don’t remember a tv show, but a close neighbor would be Tales From The Crypt, which ran for about 4 or 5 seasons on HBO. Just an fyi 😊😊😊
The Crate is still one of the scariest vignettes I’ve ever seen. Still gives me the creeps.
Don't be scared.
Just tell it to call you Billie.
Me too. Scared the crap out of me
had nightmares when I was a kid because of it. Still scary even 20 years later.
I think the bloke who plays Dexter, his acting is superb when he comes running out to Mike, hysterical after seeing the janitor eaten.... absolutely authentic and believable.
I grew up watching all this stuff bc of my dad and once I told him years later that my fear was the Moss growing on me, he laughed his head off lmao
The children intermission is slowly becoming my favorite part of this channel.
I came here to say the same
Totally, the girls are adorable!
Fall asleep to the child catcher in Chitty Chitty bang bang! Yeah right
Fact 1: the monster in the Crate was nicknamed Fluffy.
Fact 2: Tom Savini did the makeup for the original movie. He also played the trashman complaining about the order form being cut out.
Fact 3: the Television print usually leaves out "There Creaping Up On You".
Fun fact: The kid who plays Billy is none other than the real life son of Stephen King.
Beat me to it!
Joe Hill! Who is now a horror master in his own right.
Wow
And works on the tv series adaptation of Creepshow.
Poor kid.
"Something to Tide You Over" scared me as a kid the most. My mom as a huge Cheers fan and I loved The Naked Gun, and I went to the beach a lot with my mom growing up. Always kept an eye out for a mean spirited Frank Drebin taunting a drowning Sam Malone. My dream is also to go to a Stephen King book signing and just yell "METEOR SHIT!" when I'm next in line.
Another good Stephen King anthology film is Cat's Eye. It adapts some of his short stories. The Quitters Inc. story with James Woods is especially good.
Cecil at “GoodBadFlicks” did a retrospective on that film. Reminded me of how great the story of “general” the cat was.
@@Psilocybin77 I seriously hated the mother in that story. General was amazing.
I just rewatched that last week.
Man, Quitters Inc above that awful pigeon bit? I never knew there were people who didn't think that story was best!
@@jcaseyjones2829 For me, The Ledge was a close second.
"Well I'll be dipped in dog sh*t" is the punchline to a Fat Freddy's Cat cartoon from the 70s by Gilbert Shelton. Fairly well known in the underground hippie culture, basically it's what not to say upon finding a magic amulet that grants you one wish..

I am glad some parents remember to share Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with their children -- it's a classic!
The child catcher is pretty scary though.
I met Adrienne Barbeau a few years ago, got her autograph. Great lady!
OK, your daughters interrupting you for your channel is the CUTEST thing EVER!!! 😍
Leslie Nielsen plays menacing here so effortlessly. One of my favorite roles of his.

You take a Stephen King story with George Romero directing and Tom Savini doing the SFX, thats a hat trick right there.
@@Acme1970 you’re damn right!👍
@@jimtatro6550 Let's not forget Tales from the Hood!
I actuallly researched the "could you dig yourself out of sand" in part because of this movie!

I imagine wet sand would be worse because of the added weight.
Thanks for the great reaction!!
Thanks for the research! Avoiding sand at all costs now.
Oh cool. Adding sand to my list of things to be terrified of.
@@Blackhawks19_xx pirates would do it the their captives
The technical difficulties are adorable.
Also, Dexter's Lab in the fourth story made me laugh, don't know how I missed it watching the movie so many times...
It's so weird she said "three dead bodies" were in the crate when that was exactly what ended up in the Crate with Fluffy at the end.
Ed Harris disco dancing. That right there stomps all the scares in that film.
I love this movie and never tire of it. Anthologies weren't done very much back then. My favorite character is Henry. I love Hal Holbrook. He went to Denison University in Ohio and any time he was in town for alumni weekend or an event, he would stop in at the Buxton Inn where I was a busser. Super nice guy!
This is one of the greatest Horror Anthologies ever made. Definitely will “CREEP” you out. Enjoy.
I actually love some of the sequences from the sequel, too. Like the lake monster and the, "Thanks for the ride, lady!" If you've ever seen.
My favorite chapter is the buried alive story with Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson. The funny thing is a lot of people forget that Leslie Nielsen wasn't always just the comedic actor we would later on see him as he was a serious actor at 1 point I remember one episode of Kojack back in the day he played in a serious assassin
Leslie was a serious actor until middle age. He always wanted to but the cards weren't in his favor when he was younger
He's also plays the Captain Kirk style character from the classic science fiction film "Forbidden Planet" (1956).
I saw this when I was 10 and thought it was so cool. The cockroach scene bursting out freaked me out... cool!!! And thanks Mrs Movies for almost crapping your pants for one of the best jump scare reactions ever in Father's Day, lol!!!
Creepshow is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for getting around to it.
It is a nostalgic movie from my childhood.
For what it is, it seems like a virtually unknown movie, when compared to the more well known classics.
You hardly ever hear anyone talking about it, or reacting to it.
I never expected to hear a verse of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while watching Creepshow but that was adorable.
Glad TH-cam suggested the Channel, this was fun reaction, really enjoyed the back an forth Commentary between you both.
Thank you! Glad you found us!
the actress who played "you can call me billie" was in swamp thing which came out in 1982 , written and directed by wes craven
31:37
You're not alone. During test screenings of this movie it was noticed that the unexpected sound of the broom falling ended up producing the biggest jump scare from the audience.
This one creeped me out more than the slashers back then. The one with the guy turning into a plant especially, along with the roaches.
What really bothers me about that story is a lot of these stories have a bad person getting punished yet the guy in that story was just some random guy out in the country who's only real crime is he's not bright. I know King looks down on a lot of people out in the country as being ignorant but damn man even in his own novels not everyone in the country is like that, lot of them look down on people like that in his own novels cause it makes the rest of them look bad.
As you may know, the actor who turned into a plant is none other than Stephen King. And he's pretty darn funny.
I despise roaches because of this movie and the first men in black.
The kids walked in right when Leslie Neilson was showering....oh the shock! Haha
The kid in the wraparound is Joel King, son of Steven King. Joel King also writes under the pen name Joel Hill. Some of his stories was adapted into the Shutter streaming series.
Pretty sure it's Joe, Joe King. I could be wrong...
Other horror anthologies from that era are Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Cat's Eye, Twilight Zone: The Movie. There were others too. It was a generation that grew up on Twilight Zone repeats so they were ready for it.
Another fun fact I've heard that Adrienne Barbeau is also the computer chess voice in beginning of the movie The Thing also released in 1982
I've seen Creepshow 2. Never saw this one. Been enjoying the cameos by your daughter's lately. They're adorable. Chitty Chitty bang bang is one of my favorite movies as a kid. And I'm gonna guess "the raft" is the one from 2 that scared You. Good job.
"The Crate" was my favorite. "I drove out there with the remains of three human beings... well, two human beings and Wilma."
Classic, interesting note; Leslie Nielsen's "wife" was played by Gaylen Ross of dawn of the dead fame.
Something to Tide You Over is my favorite chapter. Leslie Neilson's part was my favorite actor.
It has been one of my favorite movies since 1986. I saw it at the age of 5 and watch it regularly. In fact, my wife and I watch it maybe a dozen times every few months. Sometimes back to back, like letting it play non stop. Christmas 2004 I was alone with about a gallon of bourbon. It played about 15 times through the night and the next day. I drank so much that I became sober the more I drank. Then I looked at the TV and was like, "haven't I watched this already. Then I found out nearly two days had gone by. What a time.
One of my all time favorite movies.
@25:40 - Tabitha is played by George Romero’s wife, Christine. King would later use her name for his well known novel about a possessed Plymouth Fury.
I recall as a kid being really spooked out by the crate monster and the bug guy.
Aww!! Should've saved this one for the spoopy season of Halloween. '80's horror movies are great in October.
You daughter has awesome taste in movies! "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I saw back when I was a kid, born in 1970 but it was on TV. Fell in love with it. "Bedknobs And Broomsticks" is another great movie and I would not be surprised if they love that as well.
My favorite line from this movie is when Leslie Nielsen says "Found a friend, Harry!" Golden delivery.
British film studio Amicus (Hammer's 'rival') made seven great anthology (aka portmanteau) films between 1965 and 1974: Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, Torture Garden, The House That Dripped Blood, Tales From the Crypt, Asylum, The Vault of Horror and Form Beyond the Grave plus 1981's The Monster Club. Some based on EC Comics and mostly starring Peter Cushing.

I was born dec 1980. I grew up watching these. My 7 y old niece watched a few episodes & quotes it. "I want my cake" & "hey lady, thanks 4 the ride".

Thing about Leslie Nealson was he didn't start in comedy. One of the gimmicks of the movie _Airplane_ was it used known dramatic actors in comedic roles. And that's what got him started in comedy. Before that he was a dramatic actor. He could play twisted villains.

Its funny you mentioned Swamp Thing before the Crate chapter because Adrienne Barbeau was also in Swamp Thing
I LOVE this movie!!!! Was the very first movie I ever watched on VHS!!! It was at my grandma's house and my uncle had me watch it!
3:16 i remember as a kid we'd get hockey cards and use them in the spokes of our bikes to make clicking sounds,.. there are probably a few Gretzky RC cards dented or torn on the side of the road because of us 😢 anyways, another great reaction to a classic! 👍
Watched this thanks to my parents allowing a very young me to watch it in the mode nineties on VHS. And The Crate scared the crap out of me and still does to this day. Glad you guys watched this classic.
I love the "Super...." in the "Technical Difficulties" graphic. lol
The interruptions are an interesting part of the show, haha, my own daughters do the same when I'm working.
31:55 That thing is a ceiling duster. You use those to get cobwebs on vaulted ceilings :D
So awesome that you guys watched it. True story: Moved into a house that's been vacant for decades and had it fumigated. Big ass water bugs swarmed all over, freaking me out. Ever since, I've been unable to watch the last segment ever since because I lived it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
21:13 Hey, the gangs back!
Aw! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! That's one of my Favorites! You should do an episode of that with the Gang! 😁
Awesome reaction. The Crate and actor:Billy's husband
If you pay close attention, you'll see that the green marble ashtray that Bedelia Grantham used to kill her father in Father's Day shows up in every segment of Creepshow. It's on the desk of the professor in Jordy Verril's dream sequence, it's on Richard's night table when he goes to get his revolver, it's on the desk where Harry writes his letter to Wilma, and it's a soap dish in Upson Pratt's bathroom.
you two are now firmly in my horror hearts .. respect..and watch more classics
I haven't seen this in years. Had no idea these people would become stars back then.
If you guys like horror anthologies, I hope you watch Trick 'r Treat around Halloween
Great suggestion! While not an official sequel I think Trick 'r Treat would definitely fit the definition of spiritual sequel with the clear comic book inspired roots and the way each tale has a theme/moral to it.
Y'alls technical difficulties are the best!! Thanks for all the awesome reactions
The kid is Stephen King's son, Joe. He's now a bestselling horror novelist.
Leslie Nielsen playing a villain was perfect casting. When a comedian can pull of a complete psychopath, it really is something special to see.
My favorite was definitely the creature under the stairs and then after that the buried alive.
You probably know this now, but the kid is Joel King, son of Steven King, who became a horror writer under the name Joel Hill.
Some of Joel Hill's stories were adapted for the Creepshow television series, along with his father.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang rules! Your kids have good taste - lol!
The monster in the crate scared the absolute crap out of me as a kid. I loved the one with the cockroaches though lol
6:33 Whoo! Yeah, that was a Big One! Lol! 😆😆😆😆😆
Actually, there are three Creepshow movies. My former roommate had all three, I believe in a box set (I might be wrong about the box set; he may have just had them individually). And as for the tv show, I don’t remember a tv show, but a close neighbor would be Tales From The Crypt, which ran for about 4 or 5 seasons on HBO. Just an fyi 😊😊😊
24:22 I bet you dont remember this guy! He was the dean from "The Re-Animator".
The weird broom is for cleaning ceiling fan blades.
