Creepshow

Based On the book by Stephen King

Creepshow is a 1982 American horror comedy anthology film directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King in his screenwriting debut. It consists of five segments intercut with a sixth story acting mostly as an opening and epilogue; two of the segments, "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" and "The Crate", are based on stories by King, while the others are original material he wrote for the film. The film stars an ensemble cast including Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Fritz Weaver, Leslie Nielsen, Carrie Nye, E. G. Marshall, Viveca Lindfors, Ted Danson and Ed Harris, with King and his son Joe portraying the respective main characters of two segments. It was primarily shot on location in Pittsburgh and its suburbs, including Monroeville, where Romero leased an old boys' academy (Penn Hall) to build extensive sets for the film.
