DESCRIPTION

40th Anniversary!

Inspired by the E.C. comics of the 1950s, director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King bring five tales of terror to the screen!

Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA: Best Horror Film nominee!

4/4 Stars! “A gloriously faithful ode to the E.C. Comics of the 1950s, Creepshow ranks as one of the very best horror anthology films (none better instantly come to mind). The collaboration between director George Romero (one-upping his 1968 classic “Night of the Living Dead”) and screenwriter Stephen King (who also penned an actual comic book based on the film) is something special, indeed…This film, horror and comic book fans, is a very special treat, ideal for the Halloween season or any time at all.” (The Film File)

5 Stars! “Well before comic book movies became a pop culture craze that has dominated the box office, George Romero was capturing that feel on film in service to a glorious homage to horror’s comic book roots.” (Fanboy Nation)

“The melding of two creative geniuses does not always bear delicious fruit, but when those two masterminds are director George A. Romero and author Stephen King – and an unbridled passion for all things horror generates that meld – magic did indeed happen…This is a film I can watch over and over and never tire of seeing. Adapting comic books to the screen is one thing, but to give your viewers the sense they are living the comic, that’s a feat rarely achieved…Creepshow is one of the all-time greats of horror” (Dread Central)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
