Creepshow : The Parent Death Trap / To Grandmother's House We Go (2023)



Made for Shudder, airing October 13th in the US.
Season 4. Episode 3.
Story 1: Lyle is a teenager whose parents have always meddled in his business.
They believe they are helping Lyle and no matter what he says, he cannot convince them otherwise.
They have taken it upon themselves to ask their investment brokers daughter Violet to the prom for him, but he's very unhappy about that move.
Violet stands Lyle up and his parents are livid. But they know it's not them that she is avoiding...
When Lyle can no longer take the belittling of his parents, he knocks them off.
That same evening, the ghosts of his parents return to finish badgering him, and they do not stop.
Four years later, no one knows Lyle killed off his parents except his parents.
But they are there every day, at every waking moment, everywhere he goes, complaining and driving him mad.
When Lyle meets up with Violet by accident at the grocery store, the two make plans to go out, against his parents' wishes of course.
But Lyle and Violet have a great time getting to know each other and bond by sharing the sins of their parents.
Unfortunately, the police have now begun, after all this time, looking into his parents' disappearance.
Story 2:   David Higgins, a widowed older man with a young daughter, Ruby, and lots of money, married Marcia, a woman some years younger than him.
His mother and estate administrator warned him not to marry Marcia, but Marcia got what she wanted.
Just as quickly as they married, David passes away.
Marcia is a gold digger and only cares about finding a way to get more money.
When Marcia gets a call that David's mother is soon to pass away, she cannot control her excitement because that means she will finally get the money.
Marcia takes Ruby to see her grandmother and tells her she is sick.
Ruby is worried that she will no longer have any real family members left and hopes Marcia will really be her mother.
Marcia wants no part in that but feels bad and tries talking to Ruby about it.
Just then, something runs out in front of the car, causing Marcia to lose control and drive off the road.
After Marcia calms down she realizes the car is stuck. While standing outside the car, trying to call for help, Marcia is attacked by a wolf.
But she gets away.
Only the wolf doesn't give up that easily and snatches Ruby from the car.
Just as fast Marcia flags down a passerby.
It happens to be someone she knows. She tells him what happened, and he calls for help.
He is supposed to pull her car out of the ditch but, he doesn't make it.
The wolf reappears and then, Ruby. 
Now Ruby is in danger, but Marcia fights to save her.
