While George Romero is remembered as the father of modern movie zombies, the director enjoyed scaring audiences in other ways. In the early ’80s, Romero teamed up with Stephen King to create Creepshow, a tribute to the kinda tales you’d read in Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror comic books. Five different tales shocked audiences with a cast that included Hal Holbrook (The Fog), Adrienne Barbeau (Swamp Thing), Leslie Nielsen (Police Squad), Ted Danson (Cheers) and E. G. Marshall (Superman II). The movie proved to be a success in 1982. Now Scream Factory is upgrading the movie to 4K UHD so you can spot more scares. Fans can also get a version of the 4K UHD that comes with enamel pins, posters, lobby cards and more. Here is the press release from Scream Factory with all the details and links:
