In honor of Halloween, Shudder released two new episodes of Creepshow today for streaming. Due to the pandemic and filming restrictions, both of them are animated. Since the series comes from a comic book, the animation mimics that feel. A feeling that makes the stories even scarier because it leaves a lot up to the imagination. Getting lost in your thoughts can make even the creepiest of stories creepier.
In Survivor Type, Kiefer Sutherland goes from Designated Survivor to the lone survivor on an island. He was on a cruise ship that sunk in the middle of nowhere. No one knows that anyone made it out alive, so he is doing his best to survive. Even though there is no food on the island and parts of his body are decaying from infections. Since he is a doctor, he is doing the unthinkable to make sure he sees another day. However, how far will someone go to stay alive? That is what we will find out as Sutherland narrates what his character writes in his journal about his fight to live on in an impossible situation.
Joey King is the sole voice in Twittering from the Circus of the Dead. Unlike Sutherland, she tells her terrifying tale via Twitter. King is a teenager on a failed road trip with her parents and her brother. They planned on going skiing, but there was too much snow. Therefore, her father comes up with an alternative plan. He decided to take them to something called the Circus of Death. What is that? King will describe the unimaginable horror to us in a series of tweets that will send shivers down your spine.
Yesterday, Shudder announced that Marilyn Manson (Sons of Anarchy), Ali Larter (The Rookie), Iman Benson (BlackAF), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), C. Thomas Howell (Criminal Minds), Denise Crosby (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Breckin Meyer (Robot Chicken), Ted Raimi (The Evil Dead), Kevin Dillon (Entourage) and Eric Edelstein (We Bare Bears) will guest star on the second of the season of the show. Personally, I wish for the third one; they do every episode like these two. Seriously, you have to watch them. Once you do will be saying exactly what I am. It so much more horrifying when you don’t see everything that is happening. Because of that, you create from their thoughts what else is going on around them. I am still afraid to go to sleep after watching this Halloween special. It is that terrifying.
