Creepshow Guide Shudder 2019

Shudder’s Creepshow is an anthology horror series, an update of the 1980s movies from the disturbed minds of Stephen King and George A Romero

Each episode has two 22 minute stories of paranormal, horror or just right weird.

Craig Engler, GM of Shudder had this to say about the series. “For us, Halloween starts now, and this year we’re going all out with our most ambitious project yet, an original Creepshow series from Greg Nicotero featuring stories by Stephen King, Joe Hill, Joe Lansdale and Josh Malerman.”

Creepshow Episodes

Episode 1: “Grey Matter” / “House Of The Dead”

So episode 1 of the new series of Creepshow on Shudder blasted onto my TV (care of a Shudder subscription through Amazon). I wasn’t too sure what to expect as I was a fan of the original Movies from the 1980s in which the individual stories were given a little more scope. In this duo of tales Grey Matter, written by Stephen King himself, was a creepy tale of a gentleman who is infected by a strange substance. The story was not very compelling though, but the visuals and cast were top notch. The second story was a lot more involving as a girl watched the occupants of her dolls house respond to a rather creepy severed head that just appears one day.
