Which do you prefer: Creepshow 1 or 2?
Creepshow 1
2 is actually a lil better
1 hands down
Oh my God I was hoping you would review this. Nothing will ever beat the first creepshow to me, but old chief woodenhead is still kind of creepy to me. This is one of my all time favorite sequels second only to "Judment Day"
1, that cockroach part was awesome and pretty original.
The actor who played Ol' Wooden Head came to my school to give lessons on how to be a mime. He was a really cool guy and I got his autograph for my mother as a Mother's Day gift. He even drew a little axe for it.
Fucking sweet!
Cool
Awesome!
You lie
The budget on this film may have been piss poor but the effects for the Chief were top notch.
"Thanks for the ride, lady!" The most memorable quote of the entire movie.
Followed closely by, "I feel the need...the need for weed!"
And the 80s!!!
I saw this as a child in the 90s and to this day I still believe The Raft segment to be one of the most horrifying and chilling displays of death. It was so gruesome and I felt so sad for them..As for me, I still fear swimming in lakes.
Same here. Saw it when I was a little kid, and it was only watching this video that I found out what that was from.
Yes, it is because of this movie that I still will never enter a grotesque dirty lake.😅
Because of this segment I love boobies.
Me too! Saw this on a VHS tape recorded off HBO.
@@puppiesarepower3682that's old school Cool good show
The Monster from "the raft" is very similar to a folk tale from Chile, "el cuero" (the skin).
It is said that when chilean aborigens threw the skin of the animals they would eat to the lakes, the hatred and pain of the animal could remain on its skin, and when enough skin gathered at the bottom of the lake, the negative energy would make the skin fuse and become alive.
The skin would float on the lakes waiting for humans foolish enough to get neer the shore and feast on them, melting their bodies with it acid like property, but the acid wasn't really fast, that's why you would die by drowning first, since it would pull you to the bottom.
Valtiel Ikari drowning AND the agony of slowly having your flesh melted away angry animal skin. Great way to end your Chilean Wildlife Adventure.
@@AmaryInkawult hey it might still be burnable atleast.
Very interesting folklore, thanks for sharing.
Cool 😎
@@symbiotegod2069 actually, it's weak to pointy things, so a pocket knife is good enough, all thought that would make it pissed, so you have a limited window to get to dry land, and away from as far as you can from the shore ( it can't leave the water, just reach out to the shore like the monster un the segment), so just walk a few more feets than the guy un the movie and you're golden
I remember this movie mainly for The Raft. I still find that thing extremely grotesque.
That segment is still scary as hell! Very cool
The Raft was defi8nitely the most memorable, but the "Thanks for the ride, lady" became a local catchphrase in my school when this movie came out. Everyone was saying it. "Thanks for the ride, lady".
It was even more grotesque when it was "The Blob".
It's kinda a neat concept, though, albeit undermined by the fact that the thing's slow as all get-out and the shore is clearly not more than 20 m away in any given direction. A dog could out-swim that thing, especially when it's clearly busy taking its time to consume your dumbass friend. Or, hell, maybe when there's still a couple of you, jump off opposite sides of the raft and swim for shore in different directions, instead of taking a nap on the raft you know it can reach-up through?
The story suffers from an overload of victim idiocy.
@@michaelccozens I agree. I've said for years to all jump off and swim in opposite directions at least 2/3 would make it to shore to go grab help/escape for good.
@@michaelccozens to be fair, people in horror movies are fucking stupid
The moral of the 2nd story: Run first, gloat later!!! 😂
I'd say that would be more appropriate for the second story considering how it ends.
@@wellthismachinekills3809 Sorry. I meant the second.
Or run while gloating.
Creepshow
Creepshow 2
Tales from the Dark Side
Are the perfect trilogy
"STEPHEN KING, YOU LUNKHEAD!" I almost died of laughter at that one. And Phantom of the Paradise is always awesome.
the fact that he says that with a straight face is why it's so funny.
One lesson to learn from The Raft do not celebrate swimming from a living blob in a lake until you drive all the way home.
Lol my thoughts exactly. "I beat you!" And I'm like "Maybe say this when you're in the car. Maybe don't stop to catch your breath until then."
Or, "once out of the water, get the fuck away from the beach, too.
Imagine if it still had a twist where it attached to the car and crawled up to him killing him either way, that would be pretty awesome
imagine you are at home you look out the window you see the blob in a trench coat and fedora going "soon"
Or it'll drag you away, while melting your flesh, in the process.
Hey that scene in the lake scared me for life practically. When I was a kid you couldn't get me to get into water I couldn't see the bottom of until I was 25
Where I used to live, there was a pond that looked an awful lot like the lake in this movie. Anytime I was down by that pond, I thought of this segment of *Creep Show 2.*
I've read the original short story in "Skeleton Crew" and...uh...let me just say that this movie was rather tame compared to that. King tends to love talking for several pages about people slowly being eaten alive in extreme detail, and they never die or even go unconscious until they're mostly digested.
Fuck every body of water, ESPECIALLY the ocean,
Thanks for the ride lady
Thanks for the ride lady
Thanks for the ride lady
Thanks for the ride lady
Thanks for the ride lady
...........Great story telling but.....HOLY OL' JEEBUS!!!
So the monster in The Raft segment is probably Hedorah's spawn...
I was about to exactly say that.
@Bradley Coates also know as Hedorah.
"Papa I found the monster, PaaaPaaa!!"
Except this time around those things that look like testicles are not the monster's eyes but some guy's nads, and he probably wore a speedo too.
Hedorah's first form before the tadpole one.
The reason for 3 stories instead of 5 was due to the lower budget; they originally did intend for 5, but because of less money, 2 got dropped. One, "The Cat From Hell," later got adapted for "Tales From the Darkside: The Movie."
All you need to know about the budget pinching is that New World is Roger Corman's 80s production company.
“Thanks for the ride” always creeps me out! 😖
You're just saying that because you hate being polite, Gabby. ;)
0:54 I honestly thought you were gonna say, “It could be worse. Could be Creepshow 3!”
I thought so, too. I guess we would’ve needed to see him riff that “sequel” before he could make that comparison.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid and the raft segment freaked me out soo much that I couldn't stand bare foot on a wooden deck without being creeped out.
This is one of my favorite films growing up.... Ol' Chief Wood'n'Head is great. The Raft also, not to mention the wrap around story
I gotta admit, I loved Creepshow 2 growing up. Especially the second story at the lake
5:27 Here’s the cool thing: the Native American actor in this scene is an actual Native American actor!
Frank Fernando “Grey Wolf” Salsedo was a member of the Wappo tribe from Sonoma Country, California (he was also the hereditary chief of the tribe) and appeared in a lot of films and tv shows. One of his most prolific roles however was as Sam Trueheart in Power Rangers Zeo.
Yeah that’s right, Power Rangers didn’t cast a white guy! So much for the show being racist...
Who claimed the show was racist? I never really watched the show as a kid, but the fact they always had a ethnically diverse cast was one of the few things I do remember about it.
Um, Adam was Asian. And one of the green rangers was black. So I’m pretty sure Milne says it’s racist.
I've never heard anyone think PR was racist.
@bezoticallyyours83 and Walter Jones has gone record that the Colors and the casting were not international in any way shape or form it was just an honest mistake
"Thanks for the ride lady"!
Great Movie Quote from Creepshow 2 "The Hitchhiker"
The Creep:"There's lesson for kiddies never pick up hitchhikers on hood of your car"
That segment still freaks me out to this day!
The Raft scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.
I personally love the soundtrack for this one also I thought the hitchhiker story was really clever considering she was hallucinating the whole time because her car was leaking carbon monoxide
*mind blown*
"Oh I get it, it's because I'm UNDEAD isn't it?!" yeah she was pretty undeadist.
To paraphrase a great traveling hobo, "Thanks for the ride, Brandon. Thanks."
*AH! A HITCHHIKER!!*
"Huh, looks like a black guy..."
@@unclelou4839Stephen king you lunkhead
My memory of watching The Raft when I was a kid is so vivid. It truly made my skin crawl. I was so glad to rediscover this film years later, I love it
When all this is done, you should review "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie", which Tom Savini called "The REAL 'Creepshow 3'."
actually to save himself some trouble review that instead
I made that same comment in the last Creepshow review
To further the claim, the "Cat From Hell" story from "Darkside" was originally supposed to be in "Creepshow 2," but it and another story called "Pinfall" (about an undead bowling team...yes, really) got dropped when they went from 5 to 3 stories because of budget issues.
I was thinking in Cellar Dweller tbh.
Conglaturation! He actually did it!
Creepshow 2 was the first one I saw so I have better memories of it
Umbra Nights same here! I grew up with the second one and then saw the first one and felt like the second one was a lot better
Also agree, the Indian one and the raft monster still remain strong in my mind
Umbra Nights it’s my favorite one
Same here. I have such a vivid memory of the raft
Same here.
4:54 "Look, honey, we've been over this. We either stay here or move back to Rape Island, okay?"
I choked on my drink, Brandon. Thanks a lot. Haha!
I loved this as a kid
kid? boy you must have been one truly fucked up sicko, nah its okay i was the same way
Ditto
The lake blob part still terrifies me to this day as it did back when I was a kid. Damn you, Brandon for bringing this back to me!
I actually liked the second one more than the first.
"Thanks for the ride lady."
Oh man so THAT'S where that was from! When I was a kid I must have seen this on tv because The Raft scared me for life. Context: I grew up in Miami and spent all of my swimming time either in the ocean or pools. The idea of a lake was already pretty foreign to me and this story really stuck with me. I have mostly forgotten about it but sometimes I would remember some parts of the visuals but could never remember from where. .
Ur so cute omg
"Yeah, that's why I don't believe in air! Or gravity." I spit my drink out over that one.
The raft is a good sequel to Godzilla Vs the Smog Monster
So, the oil slick is actually Deathla?
One of the dudes in "The Raft" segment looks like Logan Paul slightly.
So that's why I enjoyed when he died
Heaven/hell: 0
Resurrection: 1
Oh I wish those were the Paul Brothers. Harsh, I know, but those guys are pretty bad.
Oh my God so I'm not the only person that thinks they look like the Paul brothers
The guy who played him had to go to the hospital because he got hypothermia from being in that cold water.At least he gets to move in on the girlfriend of the dead alpha male douche guy that buys it.
Yknow, while clearly it’ll never outdo the OG “I’m the love child of ROMERO AND KING” first film,
My heart goes out to any that go the extra distance to animate with COMPETENCY. Like MMMWAH! That’s some BEAUTIFUL smooth buttery animation!
I’ll definitely look to add to my COLLECTION~
My older sister scared me with this movie when I was younger, the lake goo gave me many a nightmare.
That raft scene scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Fatso is played by Hal Holbrook's son David. He was also in the odd Girl's Nite Out with his dad. I enjoy the first one more but this is some great 80s horror cheese.
Robin Does Things! And Hal was in the 1st creepshow too.
George Romero said in a panel at North Carolina School of the Arts in 2000 that Creepshow 2 was supposed to have a segment involving a bowling alley.
Yeah it involved a Zombie bowling team taking revenge on their rivals
It also had another one called Cat From Hell
@@alucarda4357 That one got used in Tales from the Darkside.
What was that supposed to be about a man eating bowling alley
The monster in the raft is the blobs cousin that lives in the water
Yeah. He's the black-blob of the family. They don't talk about him much, or invite him to family reunions.
It reminds me of the monster from Joseph Payne Brennan's short story Slime, which was about a black blob of goo in a swamp terrorizing a town.
The Raft was the best part of this movie. Makes u think twice before u dip into lake.
If only they would used weed killer around the..... NO SWIMMING SIGN
@Kyros Droztamyr the same rivers and lakes ur grandfather swim in u cant swim in anymore. its a dystopia
I’m glad I’m not the only one who prefers that segment of the film 😎.
Tyrant Gregcag it’s the best one by far
anti-planet Definitely! I just wish the whole movie had the quality of the first movie (my favorite horror flick).
The horror doc you are a part of is amazing looking and sounding; especially all the new retrowave music in it.
Love the music in Creepshow 2
I actually REALLY like this movie and think it's every bit as good as the first with MOST of these stories being stand outs for me and really sticking in my head for a long time. I don't get people's complaints about this movie aside from just people nitpicking or complaining just to complain because it's a sequel.
EDIT: Though I WILL admit the movie DOES look cheaper and the lesser budget is very apparent. But I think it's the only real problem, I think.
"After this, the Creep then found Jesus, and decided to only hand out Chick Tracts."
Now that would make a great horror movie.
Speaking of Chick Tracts, I think Brandon should review Dark Dungeons: The Movie.
Sure... when you outswim an oil monster, stay near the shore and taunt it.
The story The Raft freaked me out as a kid. Then later I read the short story in Stephen King’s anthology Skeleton Crew. The ending of the story was a bit different. It didn’t depict all the people dying but it left it up to the reader to infer. The Skeleton Crew anthology incidentally has the novella “The Mist”
My oldest sister thought "The Hitchhiker" segment was the scariest thing she had ever seen at the time, especially the tagline.
Allison Pregler (Obscurus Lupa Presents) did a great two-part episode on Creepshow 3.
Man, when I was young, the last story in this scared the absolute shit out of me.
And I was really hoping for the 'crowd boo' effect after the joke involving Stephen King.
Creepshow 2 is so underrated. The Raft segment scared the fuck out of me. That was MY jaws lol
Thanks for the ride lady!
Well, Hedorah had to pay the bills somehow.
Creepshow 1 is the superior movie for sure. However, as a horror anthology movie goes Creepshow 2 is not terrible. The wrap around segment is pretty unique being animated, and The Raft in particular stands out as a great highlight. So yeah, lesser than it's predecessor but able to stand toe to toe with most of it's above average anthology brethren.
Had a really crappy week, this made my night, thanks for all the great reviews!
All these years, I've had this vague memory from my childhood of a movie or TV show involving these people stuck on a wooden platform in the middle of a lake, with some sort of amoeba monster trying to eat them, and I could never figure out if it was a real thing or just a dream, but it was a segment in this movie! This is it! Holy shit, it's real! I am vindicated, and it feels so good!
Love the Phantom of the Paradise sound clip!
I love this one! The last story scared the hell out of me! They sure saved the best for last. Lol
The story 'The Raft' screwed me up for a long time after seeing it as a kid. For years I always had a fear of swimming in dams, lakes, rivers, the ocean, or anywhere I could not see the bottom.
The Raft gave me NIGHTMARES as a kid. I saw this movie when I was WAY too young for it!
Hey Brandon, have you ever considered reviewing "Fantastic planet".....it's a trippy European animated movie.
Yeah! That movie makes Yellow Submarine look normal! But it did have a cool psychedelic soundtrack!
Yes! I've been asking him to do that one for awhile! I'd love to see him do that!
That sounds awesome!
Fantastic Planet is actually french.
Fantastic Planet is actually a really good movie. It's trippy, but there's not a whole lot in it that is riffable, in my opinion.
Definitely seems like a step back compared to the first. Looking forward to the review of Part 3!
Childhood fave for me loved this movie! Totally cheesy in some ways but memorable. The Raft gave me nightmares as a kid.
Aw crap! It’s Dark Water!
Ah the nostalgia
I don't go swimming without one of my treasures of rule.
Tula was one of my first cartoon crushes.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 Is it bad I thought of the crappy, borderline offensive My Little Pony parody of that series called "Ponies of Dark Water" instead of the actual series?
Not lying, the plot of that series was the ponies getting cancer from foreign water that turned them evil. To this day it's one of the most 'what were they thinking' storylinenes in that entire franchise.
Some reason you're comment reminds me black ice skit from key and Peele 😆😅 that was so messed up
I'm kind of disappointed you didn't make a "Girls Nite Out" reference, seeing as Hal Holbrook was in the previous movie. "But DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD..."
I've had the misfortune to sit through Creepshow 3. You have my sympathy
The only part of that movie I remember is the segment with the vampire.
I read that oil slick amoeba story in a sci-fi book once as a kid and had nightmares for weeks, I remember. It was horrifying. The deaths were more graphic when you see them described...
I do wonder why it never occurs to them to try and set the oil slick on fire, they have lighters...
The Raft freaked me out so much when I was a kid.
Growing up I loved Creepshow 2, way more than the first, but I was a kid.
Nowadays, the first is MUCH better, in pretty much all aspects.
GREAT work as always Brandon!
Two years late and watching the ad for the horror documentary still send chills of excitement. Whom ever edit that fantastic job. Also this episode of Brandon fits most appreciated for ads.
I didn't even know there was a Creepshow 3, I'm looking forward to the next review.
1:56 Hey another excuse to play the Steven King drinking game
But, I don't wanna die from alcohol poisoning.
Wah-Hah!
I actually find myself watching this more than the first one.
The one guy that got sprawled out on the hood of that Camaro. I remember him playing in such movies as Casualties of War and The Beast.
The way that post office guy looks I half expected him to say 'heres your package billy now do you want to see mine?'
and I like how the killer from the first segment doesn't seem to realize that hollywood is in a state thats mostly a desert. No dust there indeed
Now I kinda want to see you review Talez in tha Hood
Too bad chief woodenhead couldn’t bring back the nice old couple.
That’s okay. At least he helped avenge their deaths.
Thanks so much for doing this trilogy Brandon. Love your reviews and when you mentioned doing these films I couldn't wait. This was a great video to help start my day. Keep all the great entertainment coming!
I grew up with this vhs. I found it in the woods when I was 10. It helped through many “hard” times
You found it in the woods?
@@stinkyenet1059 Yeah! It was in an old plastic crate full of other movie's
I think I actually prefer Creepshow 2
There's a direct to DVD Man-Thing movie.
thanks for the song from "Phantom of Paradise"!!!!!
The creep at the beginning of the movie (before it becomes animated) makes me think of a creepier version of the Ticket-Keeper from The Devil's Carnival.
Well i growup watching the sequel and in my opinion scare the hell out of me especially that water blob
FINALLY! Been waiting all week for this. Also, ive seen on youtube that there is actually a fourth Creepshow
is there a 4th one ? could you please send me the link
If i can figure out how to do it. I didn't watch it so idk what it is. How do i send links and I'll gladly send it
Actually type in creepshow 4 and it will add movie to the list of suggestions at the bottom and tap that and it will be the first one
Raymond Hall No its fake
The fourth Creepshow is the series on Shudder, and it's WAY better than Creepshow 3.
You really do deserve more subscribers. Great review; can't wait for the next one!
The actor who played the hitchhiker in Creepshow two was Tom Wright Who would go on to play another zombie in “Tales From The Hood” killing a gang of rogue cops in the first or second story.
I know what you’re talking about. The city councilman is killed by the cops and he comes back to take revenge.
The animated segments in this movie look like the work of Ralph Bakshi.
"Thanks for the ride, lady."
Cool fact the story The Raft in Creepshow 2 is actually a horror story by Stephen King. And the story The Crate from the first Creepshow was a short story from a Stephen King's anthology book Fantasy Annual 3. So I think that when George A Romero and Stephen king made these movies. And I know that they didn't make the second one kinda. I think that Stephen King wanted to add some of his less famous or less remembered stories and wanted to put them in the movie. And i'm glad he did.
I laughed so hard at the PB joke because I live where the Gulf Oil Spill happened. I love your show!
What about the movie The Stuff? why have we not seen that.
Has he really not done The Stuff?
@@GhengisJohn asking what it is or did I miss the name?
www.imdb.com/title/tt0090094/
No no, I know what the movie is, I've seen it and I always liked it, the goop moving in the fridge really bugged me as a kid, lol. I just find it mind boggling that he wouldn't have done it yet, especially given how much he liked the main protagonist's actor in Q the winged serpent.
@@GhengisJohn ah
Just wanted to point out that there was an excerpt from Colliers Magazine at the end wherein they denounce the testimony of Dr Wortham.
I’m glad they put that in. No serial killer in the history of the 20th century blamed comic books for why they killed. We had Ted Bundy say he was exposed to “Hustler” as a reason on why he killed 36 women. But even stroke mags Don’t turn people into psychopaths just like comic books and graphic novels don’t necessarily turn people into psychopaths.
@@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9 And neither does video games, but the argument still continues.
I remember this I was like 6 when I seen it the first time was my favorite it got me in to horror....thanks for the ride lady
The role that Lois Chiles plays as the driver was originally cast with Barbara Eden (I Dream Of Jeanne) her mother passed away right before filming began, and she had to drop out, leaving Chiles only days to prepare for filming. Also, the girl in "The Raft" with the long hair is Paige Hannah, the younger sister of Daryl Hannah (Splash).
Stephen king getting hit by a car is why I never walk with traffic coming up behind me.
I know. My father was always adamant we walk on the "right" side of the road which is where cars come behind you in my country. His reasoning as truck driver was that car has better time to react or something. I always suspected it. I rather trust my own instincts than some random drivers.
When did Stephen King get hit by a car?
@@colirino About 20 years ago now - there was a distracted driver in a minivan who ran him over. At the time, it really sounded as if he might not make it. It took him months and months to recover. It affected his later work - I think "Dreamcatcher" was written while he was high on (prescription) pain medicine, and then Duma Key starts out with a devastating accident and the protagonist's long recovery.
@@parisgreen4600 wow that is really interesting. Thanks for sharing I had no idea. And that makes sense about dreamcatcher that movie is very lucid
Creepshow 2 was a legitimate horror movie Head and Shoulders above the campy hokeyness of Creepshow 1
Phantom of the Paradise reference... YES! Please review that video sometime in the future.😁
One of your best, Brandon. Thanks for the laughs, sir. 🙂
