Notes

Story Synopsis:
The ultimate in drive-in movie fare, 1982’s Creepshow is the combined (oozing) brainchild of horrormeisters George A. Romero and Stephen King. Using a fair amount of mirth...mixed in with the gore, the two present us with an anthology of five stories that pay homage to the EC horror comics of the 1950s. To introduce the stories, the movie begins with a young boy whose father has discovered his Creepshow comic and thrown it in the trash. Within those pages lies: “Father’s Day,” “The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill,” “Something To Tide You Over,” “The Crate,” and “They’re Creeping Up On You.” Yeech! (Laurie Sevano)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.80:1 DVD exhibits soft images with generally nice detail. Colors are well balanced, though at times appearing a bit undersaturated. The animated sequences are sharp and nicely saturated. The picture can have a smeared quality that is unimpressive. Minor pixelization is noticed, but edge enhancement is infrequent. The source element is revealing of minor grain, artifacts and dirt throughout. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 2.0 matrix surround soundtrack is inherently limited in terms of fidelity and dimensional attributes. There is an adequately palpable sonic image across the screen, but surround ambience, ranging between gentle to aggressive, isn’t as seamless nor as naturally integrated as usually expected. The sense of spatial coherence is somewhat compromised as well. Dynamic and spectral range, particularly in the low-end are quite limited as well. The dialogue feature notable clarity and fairly natural tonality, given the dated recording. (Perry Sun)
