A short time ago, Shudder’s parent company (AMC Networks) made the following announcement regarding the Shudder Original Series Creepshow to press at their TCA event: The show (based on the movie franchise of the same name) has officially started production with The Walking Dead’s Greg Nicotero directing! The announcement includes a statement from Nicotero himself:
“Having the opportunity to embrace the spirit of Creepshow and expand on what George [Romero] and Stephen [King] created is, without a doubt, a lifelong dream come true. Having grown up in Pittsburgh, Creepshow lives in a special place for me. I had the good fortune to visit the set as a teenager. I was able to look behind the curtain of filmmaking, and it changed me forever. I’m honored to continue telling the stories in the ‘comic book come to life’ world that fans fell in love with. This fall we will be ‘opening the coffin’ and unleashing upon the world our demented and ghastly stories, crafted by the best in business.”
The series will include a yet-to-be-revealed segment by King; there will be six-episodes total and the following segments have already been revealed:
● “By the Silvery
Waters of Lake Champlain” by Joe Hill (NOS4A2)
● “House of the Head” by Josh Malerman (Bird Box)
● “The Companion” by Joe Lansdale (The Bottoms)
● “The Man in the Suitcase” by Christopher Buehlman (The Lesser Dead)
● “All Hallows Eve” by Bruce Jones (The Hitchhiker)
● “Night of the Paw” by John Esposito (The Walking Dead: Webisodes)
● “Bad Wolf Down” by Rob Schrab (Monster House)
Additional stories and directors, as well as key casting, will be announced later this year. We’ll keep you posted!
