He sets up a TV for Harry to see that he has done the same thing to his unfaithful wife. This is his revenge, the tide will come in & if Harry can hold his breath long enough for the water to loosen the sand he will survive. He takes Harry out to his quiet beach house & at gunpoint buries him up to his neck in the sand. It’s always incredible for me to see the late-great Leslie Neilson in any role that isn’t comedic & here he plays Richard, a rich psycho who finds out his wife is being unfaithful with Harry.
A final radio broadcast adds some weight to the story too, leaving you feeling quite despondent. Stephen King hams it up brilliantly as Jordy & the pace in which the alien growth spreads is terrifying. I really like this story, short that it is. As the night goes on a green plant like fungus begins to spread across his body.Įventually Jordy & the surrounding farm are covered in the green vegetation & it just keeps spreading. Dousing the hot meteorite in water, it cracks open & spills a bright green liquid that spills on him. Jordy is dim-witted yokel played by Stephen King he discovers a meteorite & believes that he can sell it for a lot of money.
This short story will be more effective if the idea of a fungus growing on your body creeps you out. The make-up used to make Nathan look like a rotting corpse is excellent & the hissing voice that demands his cake is very creepy. You’ll look forward to their comeuppance. It’s easy to relate to Bedelia as we see how she suffered through flashbacks, the rest of the family though are horrible creatures. He is a decayed mess but sets about getting his revenge on his remaining family.Įntertaining and with a nice twist of horror. She drops her whiskey bottle on the grave which reanimates Nathan’s corpse. His demands for cake on Father’s Day became the final straw for Bedelia who murdered him.Ī drunken Bedelia visits her father’s grave before going to the party & reminisces about how she killed him. The man was murdered many years before by his long-suffering daughter who had to care for him. Nathan Grantham’s descendants (A bunch of schemers & money grabbers) have gathered for an annual dinner party. Billy curses his fathers name before hearing a noise & seeing the Creep from his comic book appear at his window beckoning him. Billy’s father is very tough on him & sends him to his room. Split into 5 stories using animation in between & bookended by a story about young Billy whose father doesn’t want him reading a comic called Creepshow.
Good horror anthologies are tough to come by but Creepshow is off to a winner straight away thanks to an incredibly talented cast, Stephen King as the writer & George A.
