"Creepshow" Stephen King's portrayal of humanity, George A. Romero's outstanding direction, and that swarm of insects.

“Creepshow” synopsis

On a stormy night, there was a boy whose father threw away his favorite horror comic. As he curses and locks himself in his room, a strong wind knocks at the window, and a creepy figure with torn flesh appears from behind it. He is a ``creep'' who acts as a ``host'' for abandoned comics. As the boy looks up at the creep with an ecstatic expression, the discarded comic is flipped over by the wind, opening to the page of the story that is about to be told, ``Father's Day.''

Even when you say "Japanese comics" in one word, many people do not realize the wide range of genres, from children's comics such as "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" to adults such as "Yamikin Ushijima-kun." I'm sure it is.

On the other hand, when we say ``American comics,'' we automatically think of so-called ``American comics,'' such as Superman and Spider-Man. However, just like ``Japanese comics,'' ``American comics'' come in a wide variety of genres.

"Creepshow" trailer

Among such a long list of horror omnibus films, ``Creepshow'' stands out as being particularly obscene, yet with a strangely high quality of poetry.

Joe King plays the boy who appears in the film's opening scene mentioned above. He is the biological son of Stephen King, who was in charge of the screenplay, and is currently famous as ``Joe Hill'', a horror writer like his father. Stephen King himself played the title role of Jodie Berrill in the second episode of the main story, ``The Lonely Death of Jodie Berrill.'' King, who had previously been cast in the role, wanted to spend time with his son during filming, so Jodie It seems that he was assigned the role. During the break, Joe had special make-up applied to his cuts and scabs, and the two of them went into a McDonald's drive-thru, where they were reported to the police.They seemed to be having a good time.

Also, while Stephen King was filming, Joe was left in the care of Tom Savini, who was in charge of special makeup, and he spent all day watching Savini create Dawn of the Dead and monsters. He says that his current activities were strongly influenced by the ``gifted education'' he received at that time.
