Creepshow (1982)

Released November 12th in the US.

Filmed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

This movie consists of five tales...

Story 1, Father's Day: It is Father's Day. Every year, for the past seven years the daughters and grandchildren of Nathan Grantham return to their family home for a dinner together in his honor.

While waiting for Grantham's daughter Bedelia to come inside the house for dinner after visiting her father's grave, the rest of the family get into talking about Grantham's death at Bedelia's hands.

But none of them get to have dinner on this particular Fathers Day.

Story 2, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill: Jordy is a backwoods farmer without much going for him.

When he sees what appears to be a meteor land on his property he gets to thinking it could make him rich.

But those dreams don't have a chance in hell, as the meteor takes hold of poor Jordy and doesn't let go.

Story 3, Something to Tide You Over: Wealthy Richard is angry as hell at his ex Becky and her new boyfriend Harry.

Apparently, Harry stole Becky away from him, and it's time to get his revenge on the both of them.

When Richard sees his torturous plans through to the end he believes he can rest easy.

But his peace is very short-lived.

Story 4, The Crate: Henry is a quiet man who is married to obnoxious drunk Billie.

He is often in scenarios where he humorously imagines her death.

When Harry's friend Dexter calls in a panic needing his help, Harry complies.

While cleaning up a horrible mess at the local University Henry perfectly plans Billie's demise.

Story 5, They're Creeping Up On You: Upson Pratt is a greedy, self-centered, controlling man living in a bug-controlled penthouse, although his home is anything but bug proof.

Upson hates bugs with a passion and is currently living with and surrounded by roaches.

While losing his marbles minute by minute over his bug issue when the power goes out, Upson busts everyone's ass he talks to that is usually calling to help him.

But there is no helping Upson. The bugs have it in for him.
