 Creepshow,
the 1980s horror anthology film series, is coming back from The Walking Dead’s
Greg Nicotero and AMC’s Shudder service. Variety is reporting that Shudder,
AMC’s horror-themed subscription video-on-demand service, has greenlit a
Creepshow television series to be run by Nicotero, special effects supervisor,
director and executive producer of The Walking Dead. Nicotero said the following
about the new job, “Creepshow is a project very close to my heart! It is one of
those titles that embraces the true spirit of horror…thrills and chills
celebrated in one of its truest art forms, the comic book come to life! I’m
honored to continue the tradition in the ‘spirit’ in which it was created.” The
George Romero film written by Stephen King was a homage to EC and DC horror
comics of the 1950s. Romero wrote a sequel that his cinematographer directed and
Creepshow 3 went straight to video. The series will feature entirely new
material, with a different director for each episode. Nicotero will direct the
first episode, and his special effects company will handle make-up and creature
effects for the show. |
