‘Creepshow’ TV Series Begins Production, Announces List Of Horror Stories Being Adapted
By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 11, 2019 3:30 pm EST
One of my most anticipated new shows of 2019 is Creepshow, a Shudder series based on the classic George Romero/Stephen King horror anthology film. We previously reported that the new show, which is being spearheaded by make-up artist and filmmaker Greg Nicotero, would feature an adaptation of Stephen King’s Survivor Type, a disgusting story in which a shipwrecked man starts eating his own body parts to survive. Now, as the show kicks off production, we have a full look at the list of the stories being used.
Here are the synopses I was able to find for some of the stories.
House of the Head
The Companion
The Man in the Suitcase
Bad Wolf Down
I was unable to find synopses for All Hallows Eve or Night of the Paw, so you’ll just have to use your imagination for those. It’s also worth noting the synopses above are for the original short stories, and things might change in the page-to-screen adaptations.
Directors for the Creepshow series include David Bruckner, Roxanne Benjamin (Southbound), Rob Schrab (Ghosted), and John Harrison (first assistant director on the original Creepshow movie).
“This fall we will be ‘opening the coffin’ and unleashing upon the world our demented and ghastly stories, crafted by the best in business,” said Nicotero. Can’t wait.
