Comic Book Violence

Folks, gather around the fire (or whatever it is that you prefer) and let your ol' Uncle George A. Romero tell you some stories.  Well, let Romero and Stephen King tell you some stories, since Romero made the Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson comic Creepshow into a real life movie.

Here's the five stories that are in the first installation:

Father's Day: A rather fucked up story about a man who wants his Father's Day cake, even if it means rising up from the dead and getting revenge on his family.

The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill: Stephen King touches a meteor and turns into a plant.

Something to Tide You Over: Lt. Frank Drebin buries Becker and the woman from Dawn of the Dead up to their necks in sand, only to have their corpses get revenge on him.

The Crate: A pissed off Chewbacca eats anyone that gets near his home, and a rather annoying Adrienne Barbeau.

They're Creeping Up On You: Think Joe's Apartment, only with more vindictive cockroaches.

If any of the above is absurd to you, then you are right.  Romero plays up this factor, combining both the actual and comic book effects to a tee.  Yes, it is horror, but it will also make you laugh.
