Reviews

Empire - Ian Nathan
Genuinely creepy, satirical and occasionally daft horror tales with a distinctly moral bent.

Variety - Unnamed
George Romero, collaborating with writer Stephen King, again proves his adeptness at combining thrills with tongue-in-cheek humor.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
What they've done here is to recapture not only the look and the storylines of old horror comics, but also the peculiar feeling of poetic justice that permeated their pages. In an EC horror story, unspeakable things happened to people - but, for the most part, they deserved them.

Miami Herald - Bill Cosford
The film has fun. In a way, Creepshow is a horror for grownups. It is grownups, after all, who understand that horror stories must be fun; if they're not, then they're just horrifying, and who wants that? [15 Nov 1982, p.D3]

Washington Post - Rita Kempley
Most of the time Creepshow works.
