A cuckolded husband exacts watery revenge on his cheating wife and her lover in "Something to Tide You Over." A hairy beast in a box is used for nefarious purposes at a university in "The Crate."

| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Oh, lots of pros. E.G. Marshall, Hal Holbrook, Ed Harris, Leslie Nielsen, and many more.
Cons: The gore is infrequent and cartoonish, but gory nonetheless. For well-adjusted kids only. And "Lordy, don't it itch!" Read More at Epinions.com

"This is going to be extremely painful, Mr. Verrill!"
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: George Romero's directing, most of the creepy tales by King
Cons: Too creepy for young children; has adult themes and strong language
Bottom Line:
If you are a fan of the old EC Comics horror line, or of Stephen King's macabre tales, Creepshow is a minor but still enjoyable film.
