Creepshow - Season 1
On January 16, 2019, it was announced that one of the segments of the pilot episode would be based on Stephen King's short story, "Survivor Type" from his 1985 collection Skeleton Crew; however, that story was ultimately not used for the first season and was instead part of the animated Halloween special that aired in 2020.[9]
In September 2020, Anna Camp, Adam Pally, Josh McDermitt, Keith David, and Ashley Laurence were cast for the second season.[12] Later in October 2020, Marilyn Manson, Ali Larter, Iman Benson, Ryan Kwanten, Barbara Crampton, C. Thomas Howell, Denise Crosby, Breckin Meyer, Ted Raimi, Kevin Dillon and Eric Edelstein were cast.[13] On February 1, 2021, It was announced that Manson's episode would not air due to multiple abuse allegations[14][15] and that an episode starring Molly Ringwald would air instead.[16]
As AMC has announced plans to air the show in its entirety, allowing Creepshow to reach a wider audience than its original home on the Shudder streaming service, let's take a look at which stories hit the target, and which ones stumbled like zombies. The first season of Creepshow contained twelve segments, two per episode, making six episodes in total.
It's a shame that Creepshow closed the season with this anticlimactic dud about a sweet girl named Rose trying to prove the existence of "Champy," the lake monster her father was ridiculed for obsessing over. The story attempts to function as a family drama when Rose's abusive step-father torments her for her beliefs, but the somber tone comes across as melodramatic in a series that is otherwise ridden with self-aware camp. There's also a predictable and brief payoff that's mired by budgetary restrictions. The episode is adapted from a short story written by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, and directed by Tom Savini, whose make-up effects were a vital part of the original Creepshow, so it's a shock that their influence couldn't make Champy rise to the surface in all her glory.
Until September 26, 2019. One of the more recent additions to the horror streaming service Shudder, the first season of Creepshow is comprised of six 45-minute episodes, with each episode telling 2 different tales of terror.
Recently renewed for a second season, Creepshow is worth the watch. The Shudder community agrees, with all but two reviewers giving the series 5 stars. At a total runtime of 4.4 hours, there are some skippable installments (see short reviews of each story below), which make the other episodes seem that much better in comparison.
Creepshow is going to make its linear debut on the network which brings us The Walking Dead before the new season arrives on Shudder. Executive producer Greg Nicotero's anthology series, which reimagines the classic Stephen King-George A. Romero horror movie of the same name, will be getting a run on AMC ahead of its Season 2 premiere on Shudder later this year, TV Guide can confirm.
Shudder, a horror-centric streaming service, is owned by AMC Networks. The Creepshow move to AMC is the latest example of properties being strategically positioned within the network's portfolio. Previously, Killing Eve debuted on BBC America but also later began airing on AMC, while Shudder became the streaming home for horror series NOS4A2 after it finished its first season on AMC.
The first three seasons of Creepshow are now streaming on Shudder along with a pair of specials (one animated and one holiday-themed) and the two movies. A fourth season was green-lit earlier this year and wrapped production over the summer.
The six episodes in the set, comprising the inaugural season, offers viewers 12 stories (roughly 20 minutes long each) introduced by a ghoulish-robed mascot nicknamed the Creep. Each attempt to deliver a dose of frights with a thought-provoking and often macabre or humorous twist.
The panel revealed that season three will contain six episodes. Jonathan Schaech, Reid Scott, and Hannah Fierman will also guest star in Season 3. Creepshow Season 2 will make its linear premiere on AMC on Monday, September 6, 2021. 041b061a72
