Review of Creepshow

Creepshow (1982)
9/10
Excellent horror movie, but what does the Creep say?

Warning: Spoilers
This isn't really a review so much as it is talking about what the Creep says before each story. When we see the title of each segment, we see a written paragraph from the Creep, but then we pass it by before we can read it. Watching this on tape, I paused at each title sequence and wrote down what is said.

Heh, heh! Greetings kiddies, and welcome to the first issue of Creepshow, the magazine that dares to answer the question "Who goes there?"

(FATHER'S DAY)

Heh, Heh! Hello again kiddies...My last story was so grim it even frightened me! So I decided to head for the hills...you know the other side of the mountain where the grass is always greener...heh heh... which brings to mind another tale.

(Here there is a picture of the Creep watering a plant.)

THE LONESOME DEATH OF JORDY VERILL

Heh, heh! Hello again kiddies! My last story was so grueling I thought I'd take a vacation...A little trip to the seashore. Of course, this reminds me of another awful ancepote. But the tide's coming in, so I'd better get started. I call this one...

SOMETHING TO TIDE YOU OVER

Heh, heh! Welcome, kiddies...I don't know about you but I'm feeling a bit edgy! Maybe I'm still feeling the effects of our last story, or maybe it's just because I haven't been out in a long time. That's it! I've got that boxed in feeling, Heh heh! Which reminds me of another tale in my lurid lexicon. A little fem fable called...

THE CRATE

(At the end of The Crate, there is another quick blurb from the Creep)

Heh, heh! You can't drown your fears that easily, Henry! On to our next tale...

Heh, heh! Well, kiddies...it seems you caught me moonlighting! Let me tell you, this job is enough to drive you bugs! The li'l suckers hide everywhere! Take it from me, kiddies, you've gotta stay alert, because...

(Here we see the Creep with a safari hat standing by a spider web; odd, since the last story has nothing to do with spiders.)

THEY'RE CREEPING UP ON YOU!
