Shudder brought the chills to San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend with their first look at their series Creepshow, based on the iconic 1982 film written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero.
The new series stars David Arquette, Adrienne Barbeau, Tobin Bell, Big Boi, Jeffrey Combs, Kid Cudi, Bruce Davison, Giancarlo Esposito, Dana Gould, Tricia Helfer, and DJ Qualls. Following the same anthology format as the film, it was announced which two stories will be featured in the premiere episode: the Stephen King story “Gray Matter,” adapted by Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi and directed by series showrunner Greg Nicotero, which stars Barbeau, Esposito and Tobin Bell; and “House of the Head,” written by Josh Malerman and directed by John Harrison.
Other segments for the first season include “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain” by Joe Hill, “The Companion” by Joe R. Lansdale, Kasey Lansdale and Keith Lansdale, “The Finger” by David J. Schow, “Lydia Layne’s Better Half” by John Harrison and Greg Nicotero, “Night of the Paw” by John Esposito, “Bad Wolf Down” by Rob Schrab, “All Hallows Eve” by Bruce Jones, “The Man in the Suitcase” by Christopher Buehlman, “Times is Tough in Musky Holler” by John Skipp and Dori Miller, and “Skincrawlers” Paul Dini and Stephen Langford.
