Arrow Video has announced that George A. Romero and Stephen King’s 1982 horror anthology Creepshow 2 is set for a limited edition 4K Ultra HD release this September complete with a brand new restoration; check out the cover artwork and details…
Titans of terror George A. Romero and Stephen King deliver yet another selection of blood-curdling tales in Creepshow 2, the follow-up to the 1982 horror classic.
In “Old Chief Wood’nhead”, a group of young hoodlums face retribution from an unlikely source after looting a local hardware store. Meanwhile, “The Raft” sees a group of horny teens wishing they’d read the warning signs first before taking a dip in a remote lake. Finally, an uptight businesswoman finds herself with some unwanted company following a hit-and-run incident in “The Hitch-hiker”.
Retaining the same EC Comics flavour that made the original such a hit, Creepshow 2 – this time directed by long-time Romero collaborator Michael Gornick – is a standout horror anthology from the minds of two of the genre’s master craftsmen.
