Creepshow : Something Burrowed, Something Blue / Doodles (2023)



Made for Shudder, airing October 13th in the US.
Season 4. Episode 5.
Story 1: Frank is a very wealthy man. His days on earth will soon come to an end and he would like to give everything he owns to his daughter.
After receiving a letter from her father, inviting herself and her fiancee Ryan to brunch at his house, Allison could not be more disgusted.
Her father hasn't been in her life for the past 15 years and that's because after her mother's passing, he sent her away to boarding school.
Now she wants nothing to do with him or his money.
But Ryan talks her into going.
Just as expected, Allison has a bug up her ass as soon as they get there. But Ryan is most impressed with Frank's home and riches.
Frank wants to make amends, but no matter what he says, Allison isn't budging and instead of going any further with listening to him, she goes to the car.
Frank shows Ryan the secret to his fortune and tells him that if he can take care of this "secret", as Frank has all these years, all the money he can handle will be his and Allison's. 
Of course, tending to the "secret" of his success will be quite the task.
Story 2: Angela is working on getting a gig as a cartoon artist.
She has recently been let down while applying for a job at the very famous magazine, Timeless.
Unfortunately, while showing her work to Sonia, an up-and-coming competiting client, who is a favorite of Roger's, the magazine's owner, Sonia stole Angela's cartoon which got her the job.
Feeling sorry for herself and no future direction to think of to go in, Angela opens the latest issue of Timeless to find Sonia's bio article.
On that page, Angela doodles a rat next to Sonia, among other gruesome things.
The next morning, Angela gets a text that Roger is still looking for cartoon submissions.
Confused because she understood that Sonia got the job, Angela is told Sonia died last night.
Angela cannot believe it.
She jumps right in headfirst for another try at getting the gig with Timeless.
On this next try, Roger is impressed with Angela's work and hires her, but the job comes with a catch.
When Angela cannot do the requested dirty work to land the job, she is let go once again.
Just as before, Angela is angry, this time at Roger and doodles on the cover of Timeless, namely a cartoon of Roger.
Roger dies without warning and a few days later, when Angela decides to leave town, she learns she got the job with Timeless.
Apparently, anyone who makes Angela angry is in danger.
