A classic on Blu-Ray
Added 11/15/2009
All I can say is that Creepshow is a classic and got it's due on Blu-Ray.
The picture was great for a 25 plus year old film, and I hope that Blu-Ray keeps releasing them.

Great Movie But No Blu-ray Extras
Added 11/7/2009
I've always been a fan of the original Creepshow movie. Classic scares with a wicked sense of humor and some great star power. The sfx are lodged in the '80s but were no means cheesy for the time period. The movie looks great in hi-def but I would liked to have seen a few more extras beyond the theatrical trailer. If you are a fan of the film or enjoy a fun scare then this film is for you.

My favorite horror movie, but could've been a better blu ray
Added 10/11/2009
I love Creepshow, it's my favorite horror movie, but I was disappointed there weren't more extras in the blu ray, since there weren't any real extras on the DVD from 10 years ago. You'd think with blu ray's capacity they'd include much more extras than the DVD, but it didn't happen, so that's the only reason I didn't give this five stars. The movie itself is awesome, even better in high def than on the old DVD.

A Blu-Ray injustice to Creepshow fans!
Added 10/11/2009
First of all, let me explain that the TWO-STAR rating I've given this, the Blu-Ray DVD version of Creepshow, is only for the DVD itself. The movie, which is one of my all-time favorite horror flicks is definately a FIVE-STAR piece of movie-making!
This Blu-Ray disc, as others have found, is a great disappointment. The video transfer is fair at best. I did an A/B comparision between this disc and the regular DVD on two Blu-Ray players with an HD 32" television and I see very little difference.
But what's worse, the only extra is the trailer. Now here's the real injustice to Creepshow fans: There is an excellent 2 Disc DVD Special Edition available from the United Kingdom. The first Disc contains the full-length film. But unlike the American DVD release, there's an audio commentary throughout the feature with George Romero and master make-up artist Tom Savini. And in addition to the 2.0 stereo sound, there's also a 5.1 surround soundtrack! The second disc is filled with a multitude of extras! First, there's a 90 minute feature "Just Desserts--The Making of Creepshow." It's loaded with interviews with George Romero, Tom Savini, and many other cast and crew members. Also included are deleted scenes, alternate takes and bloopers. Next, there's behind-the-scenes footage personally filmed by Tom Savini. Finally, there's a stills gallery and of course the trailer.
The entire package comes in a clear standard keep case which is contained in an outer cardboard slipcase! Now, if you didn't already realize, here's the bad news: Since this is a European release, it is in the PAL television format, Region 2. It is also very unlikely that any of these extras will ever be available here in the U.S. because Universal Home Video owns the rights to everything in the U.K. not Warner Brothers; actually the 90 minute featurette appears to have been assembled by Universal and is introduced as Universal Presents... I doubt Warner Brothers will ever strike up a deal with Universal to bring these features to us fans in America; they missed their chance for this Blu-Ray release.
If you have a region code free DVD player and a PAL to NTSC television converter, go to Amazon.uk and order this package. It's well worth it!!

Remind me to get the insect repellent!
Added 10/10/2009
Well, considering it's the month of Halloween, I figure I better catch up on my horror reviews. "Creepshow" is an anthology movie from the genius minds of both Stephen King and George Romero, containing several horror-comedy episodes, all at around 20 minutes or so. To this day, such an idea hasn't been done that often, and considering how novel it was at the time it was made, Romero and King pull this off very well. All the stories are entertaining and chilling, and the last one, if you have insectophobia, will be quite a shocker! For a fun and chilling way to spend your Friday night, enter the Creepshow! Thanks for the time, and peace.
