i liked Creepshow a lot it reminded me of the ghost train rides you get at fun fairs for some reason, & the tag line "the most fun you'll have being scared sums it up perfectly. but its a pity lightening didnt strike twice for this film with 2 weak tea sequels that just seemed flat to me theres something about the short story format that suits the horror genre so much when it works
Yeah Creepshow 2 is not my favorite, but I did read that Tales from the Darkside was originally supposed to be Creepshow 3 and the show as well. And through the EC genesis we got the great Tales From the Crypt show on HBO which I feel next to Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Twilight Zone are the big 3 for anthology television.
have you seen any of the Amicus Studios British films such as- Vault of horror, Asylum, from beyond the grave, & the house that dripped blood all with the same thread leading into short horror storys which are original & generally very good.
Yes I have seen them, Tales from the Crypt being my favorite. If you get a chance checkout screenshots to the alternate "missing ending" to Vault of Horror. It would have made for a better conclusion in my opinion.
Sorry i didnt explain it very well, i meant that they filmed them returning to their graves as rotting corpses, but only still images remain of this scene, which would have looked great as it did with Grimsdyke in Tales from the crypt, its still a great unexpected ending to an original film but could have been even better. These Amicus films were also based on American ec horror comic story's and were American produced though shot here in England
thanks for your reply, but i suspect the ending where they walk to their graves does'nt exist as a moving image as far as i know. To me this is butchery, there are so many other examples of this,missing footage from- A clockwork orange, robocop 2 and The whicker man where only some still images exist. i thought of some other horror films with short storys such as- 1945s The dead of night, Dr terror's house of horrors and The torture garden, are you familiar with these?
Yeah, I read that it was just an image that was used promotionally, but really don't understand why they would go through the effort of creating it just for promo stuff. But yes I have seen Dead of Night, though I've never seen The Torture Garden. I'm going to have to add that to my watchlist. Thanks for the recommendation.
