The original 1982 Creepshow was directed by George A. Romero from a screenplay by Stephen King that paid tribute to the EC horror comics (ala “Tales From the Crypt”) of the 1950’s.
The film featured stars such as Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson and Ed Harris, and grossed $21 million at the box office.
The segment is entitled “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain” and is based on a story from Stephen King’s son Joe Hill.
The upcoming reboot of the acclaimed horror anthology series Creepshow is coming together in a big way as it expands its ensemble roster with the additions of Lucifer and Battlestar Galactica alum Tricia Helfer, Scream‘s David Arquette and Stan Against Evil‘s Dana Gould, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
