Everyone’s favorite horror anthology is set to return in 2019 with Shudder’s new incarnation of
Creepshow, which will see makeup master Greg Nicotero (
The
Walking Dead) directing the premiere. Ahead of this weekend’s New York
Comic-Con, Shudder premiered the first poster that hearkens back to
the original 1982 film directed by George A. Romero. The poster is designed by artist Tim Bradstreet and Nicotero, who will
also executive-produce and supervise the show’s creative elements. His
KNB EFX Group will handle the show’s creature and makeup effects. Each episode will tell original stories and be helmed by a different filmmaker. A homage to the horror comics of the 1950s, the original
Creepshow featured segments written by Stephen King and was directed by a fellow horror legend, George A. Romero. Some huge names will be part of Creepshow, including both Stephen King and son Joe Hill, as well as
Bubba Ho-Tep writer Joe R. Lansdale.
Creepshow will premiere on
Shudder later this year and will feature episodes written by some of the biggest names in horror:
- “By the Silvery Waters of Lake Champlain” by Joe Hill (NOS4A2)
- “House of the Head” by Josh Malerman (Bird Box)
- “The Companion” by Joe Lansdale (The Bottoms)
- “The Man in the Suitcase” by Christopher Buehlman (The Lesser Dead)
- “All Hallows Eve” by Bruce Jones (The Hitchhiker)
- “Night of the Paw” by John Esposito (The Walking Dead: Webisodes)
- “Bad Wolf Down” by Rob Schrab (Monster House)
Creepshow is produced by Monster Agency
Productions, Taurus Entertainment, and Striker Entertainment. Stan Spry,
Jeff Holland, and Eric Woods are serving as executive producing along
with Greg Nicotero, Brian Witten, Robert Dudelson, James Dudel, and
Jordan Kizwani. Russell Binder and Marc Mostman are co-executive
producing for Striker Entertainment.
