What a gruesome little collection of stories!

Cannot wait until tomorrow night to watch the movie!

First off, Father's Day. It's a thrilling tale that encompasses murder, intrigue, family hatred, the return of the dead, heads twisted clean off, and gravestones crushing money grubbers. It truly has it all! I'd rate it 4 out of 5.

The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill is a rather unique story. It's kind of sad and kind of funny. Poor Jordy finds a meteor, hoping it will solve all his financial woes. But the meteor turns out to be an aggressive plant spreading thing that immediately starts to terra-form the Earth. What made it even more scary was that a meteor or something flew over my state the very night this story was read. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

The Crate is simply terrifying. A monster that seems eternal has lived in a crate under the stairs for over 100 years with no visible means of food or water. When the crate is opened, the munching party begins. So many people end up dead, and one henpecked husband is finally free from the wrathful acid tongue of his evil wife. But the monster is still hungry. I rate it 4 out of 5.

Something to Tide You Over is my favorite story in this book. Cheaters get caught in the worst way, and a jilted husband takes a special watery revenge. But it backfires on him, and the question is, how long can you hold your breath? I give it a perfect 5 out of 5.

They're Creeping up on You is the only story here that I really didn't like. I have no great aversion to bugs, but I just didn't like the story. An old, rich asshole who crushes people on his way to controlling everything is overrun by cockroaches. It's just blah. I rate it 2 out of 5.

Overall, this is a 4 out of 5 collection. I wish King had done more of these comic style books. It's a nice sideline while reading his bigger books.

An adaptation of the goofy anthology horror film Creepshow in graphic novel form has been released.

Reading this graphic novel is much like delving into Tales from the Crypt, with its very brief and straightforward horror and often fantasy tales. However, I didn't really get a whole lot out of it. Some of the ideas included within it are very much a product of its time and simply don't translate well to the modern day.

The third tale is perhaps the best among the lot. It manages to stand out with its unique plot and engaging elements. On the other hand, the fourth tale presents a premise that I still come across similar tellings of in today's horror literature and media.

Overall, this graphic novel is a decent and short read. But unfortunately, it doesn't really age well. The horror elements that might have been effective back then now seem a bit dated and lack the impact they once had. It's an interesting piece of work, but it doesn't quite hold up to the standards of modern horror.

It's a simulation of the comics magazine Tales Of The Crypt.

It is well-known that King announced that he was influenced by this magazine during his childhood. This influence played a significant role in prompting him to write horror.

Certainly, when compared to modern works, the original comics may seem uncompetitive. However, they hold a special place in the history of horror literature and have inspired countless authors and artists.

The unique style and themes of Tales Of The Crypt have left a lasting impact on the genre. It introduced readers to a world of macabre and惊悚 stories that were both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Although the magazine may no longer be as popular as it once was, its influence can still be seen in the works of many contemporary horror writers, including King himself.

Overall, the simulation of Tales Of The Crypt serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of the horror genre.

Stephen King is a renowned master in the horror genre, and his work is often considered a classic.

One of his remarkable achievements is the creation of a great anthology of horror stories.

In this anthology, King skillfully revisits the pulp theme within the horror genre, presenting it in a masterful way.

He delves into extremely powerful themes such as femme fatales, cosmic horror, bloodthirsty beasts, infidelity, and above all, cockroaches.

The stories in this anthology are not only terrifying but also thought-provoking, exploring the darker aspects of human nature and the unknown.

King's vivid descriptions and engaging narratives draw readers into a world of horror and mystery, leaving them on the edge of their seats.

Whether you are a die-hard horror fan or simply looking for a thrilling read, this anthology is sure to satisfy your appetite for the macabre.

A great tribute to the horror comics of the 50's!

Five short stories told by our charismatic crypt keeper had plenty of shocks and scares to keep you satisfied. The artwork, which is done in the style of the 50's, is truly well-executed. It manages to capture the essence and atmosphere of that era, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the reading experience.

The characters, with the exception of our narrator, are rather flat. However, considering this is a quick anthology, it's an expected drawback. The focus here is more on the stories themselves and the scares they deliver.

If you're a fan of a quick spooky read and have a soft spot for the horror comics of the 50's, by all means, read this now that it's been reprinted. It offers a nostalgic trip back in time and a chance to enjoy some classic horror tales.

Para mí este cómic es pura nostalgia.

Cuando éramos niñas, mi hermana y yo veíamos esta película en bucle hasta que nos cargamos el VHS. Era como un ritual que nos emocionaba muchísimo.

Creepshow consta de cinco historias que escribió Stephen King en 1982 con el objetivo de que George A. Romero las adaptara al cine. Estas historias son un homenaje a los cómics de terror de los años 50 que fueron censurados y que King leía cuando era niño. Estas historias tenían un encanto especial, llenas de elementos aterradores y sorprendentes.

Poco después, Bernie Wrightson adaptó fielmente la película al formato cómic. Y ahora, después de tanto tiempo, por fin he podido hacerme con esta maravilla. Es como volver a los tiempos de la infancia y recapturar ese miedo y esa emoción que sentíamos al ver la película. Es un tesoro que vale la pena conservar y disfrutar una y otra vez.

If you've seen the rather cheesy and not-so-good movie from which this comic was derived, then you're already familiar with all the stories.

(I'm not completely trashing the film, mind you. After all, I do own it and Creepshow 2!) Even though the stories were old news, I still had an enjoyable time reading the comic version.

Don't go into this book thinking it's a graphic novel. That couldn't be further from the truth. Creepshow is presented entirely in the tongue-in-cheek style of the old horror comics. The host is a wisecracking undead version of Stan Lee himself, and while the stories are still somewhat scary for the most part, they're fairly weak.

This doesn't mean that Creepshow isn't a fun and quick read. I read it in one evening, and like most of the comic books I have lying around from my childhood, I'm sure I'll pick it up and read it again at some point in the future. That's the charm of comics; there's no need for deep thought. It's something you can pick up, lose yourself in for an hour or two, and then be done with it. Sometimes we need that kind of release.

I guess on that note, I'll stop before I have more words in this review than there are in the book itself!

The Creepshow was truly one of my all-time favorite “movies” during my childhood. It holds a special place in my heart. This is the very first time I have delved into the graphic novel version. I am truly amazed at how remarkably well they managed to align the actors with the characters in the illustrations. It makes me wonder if perhaps Bernie Wrightson had a specific actor in mind while he was engaged in the act of drawing.

If you happen to be unfamiliar with Creepshow, it is essentially a compilation of short horror stories penned by the renowned Stephen King.

Horror, or things that have the potential to be scary, is an entirely subjective concept. One person might experience intense fear at the thought of people returning from the dead, while others could be petrified by the mere sight of roaches. In this collection, we are treated to a little bit of everything, encompassing a wide range of fears and scares.

I wholeheartedly recommend both the graphic novel and the movie adaptations. They each offer a unique and thrilling experience that is sure to satisfy any horror enthusiast.

What a brilliant little read!

Every short story in this little graphic novel was really good fun. The illustrations were fantastic, adding a whole new dimension to the stories. I really have nothing bad to say about this.

However, it doesn't quite get 5 stars because it didn't blow me away. It was good, but not amazing. And as always, I wish it was longer. I could have easily spent more time with these characters and in this world.

I read this in one quick sitting on Halloween, and it was the perfect choice for the spooky season. The stories had a touch of mystery and a hint of the supernatural, which really added to the atmosphere. I would highly recommend this graphic novel to anyone looking for a fun and easy read.

This was an absolute blast.

The stories, as one would expect from King, are truly great.

However, when presented in graphic form, especially with art that is deliberately stylized to resemble the classic old school scary comics of the 1950s, it takes on a whole new level of excellence.

In today's comics, there is such a wide variety of art styles. Some are just too minimal, lacking in detail and substance. Others are too experimental, pushing the boundaries in ways that can be off-putting. And then there are those that are too unrealistic, making it difficult to suspend disbelief.

But this particular graphic novel was just right. The people looked like real people, the objects looked like what they were supposed to be, and the colors were spot-on. The entire thing had a terrific aesthetic that really added to the overall experience.

It was a great read, truly. It was both scary and funny, with just the right amount of campiness. It read quickly, keeping me engaged from start to finish and providing great entertainment.

It's a lovely blend of three things that both my fiancé and I adore, albeit to different degrees: scary stories, art, and graphic novels. I'm so glad we found it among our library's random comic digital acquisitions. Highly recommended.

I am charmed to see the illustrated comics at the end and in Bulgarian.

Short, charming, scary "stories in pictures" have become a classic even when I was walking right under the table and still so delightful to this day.

Yay!

These comics have a unique allure that has endured over the years. They manage to convey a wide range of emotions and stories through just a few simple images. The charm lies in their ability to capture the essence of a moment or a concept in a way that words sometimes struggle to do. Whether it's a spooky tale that sends shivers down your spine or a heartwarming story that brings a smile to your face, these comics have it all.

As I look at them now, I am reminded of the countless hours I spent poring over their pages as a child. They were a source of entertainment and inspiration, and they continue to be so for me today. I am truly grateful to have discovered these wonderful works of art.

Stephen King, George Romero, and Bernie Wrightson of Swamp Thing fame come together for the comic adaptation of the cult horror anthology movie. This adaptation contains all five stories: Father’s Day, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill, Something to Tide You Over, The Crate, and They’re Creeping Up On You.

Two of the stories are based on earlier short stories by King that remain uncollected to this day, while the other three were written specifically for the movie. The illustrations are truly remarkable, especially when it comes to the monsters and creatures, which Wrightson is known for.

With the exception of poor Jordy and the janitor in The Crate (the two stories based on King's earlier shorts), everyone seems to get what they deserve. Karma appears to be the common thread here. If I had to pick, my least favorite is The Crate, and my favorite is Something to Tide You Over, with They’re Creeping Up On You as a close second.

It has been years since I last saw the movie, and it was quite nostalgic to revisit it through the comic. The stories are very faithful to the source material, as I remember. The framing device is provided by a ghoulish narrator full of really bad puns, which was my least favorite part. It's just not my kind of humor, but I guess it's part of the campy charm of this early 80's franchise. The movie is one of those cheesy it’s-so-bad-it’s-actually-kinda-fun types. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't include my favorite line, \\"METEOR SHIT!\\". It's a very tongue-in-cheek tribute to EC horror comics from the 50's like Tales from the Crypt. It's a fun way to spend an evening, but nothing特别. There's something lacking for me, and this is really only for die-hard fans of King, Romero, or Wrightson. As far as adaptations go, it's perfectly serviceable, but I'd recommend the movie instead, which is already a tribute to those comics from a bygone era.
