The fourth installment of the classic "Creepshow" series involves our old friend Billy, as he is now a proud employee of Creepshow Comics. Being a writer and artist for the company has taken its toll on Billy, and because of poor quality lately Billy's boss is threatening him with his job. He gives Billy one night to conjure up five shocking yarns for the next issue of Creepshow, or he will be fired. With his job on the line, Billy works late into the night cooking up tales involving a deranged author whose fiction fades into reality, a family whose house literally goes BUMP in the night, high school geeks who take revenge at Prom, a house where history has a way of repeating itself, and an evening with a grandfather and his granddaughter that resolves some issues from beyond the grave...
This is not a remake, but since part 3 was in the way, they ditched 4 and just named it Creepshow.
What does everyone think of this?

This has been in talks seemingly forever. I remember back when this was supposedly being released last year. We see how that panned out...

And I think it's really stupid they didn't name it Creepshow 4. It's caused a ton of confusion.

I never liked the original all that much, the stories were duds. I liked the sequel alot more, the only story I loved was the cockroach one, the others eh.
Pretty lousy.

I love the original. Manages to recreate the old 50's comic books sense of gruesomeness and style.

I actually think it fails on that level very much, if you know the comics it is really off in creating it. Tales From The Crypt creates the stories, but none of the stories in the original were anything like the comics. The sequel is a lot closer, with The Hitchhiker being the closet of the feeling of all the films.
But not the original. The Crate is dull as all hell. Not even gonna comment on the shameful Stephen King one.

You just had to pick the weakest of the 5 stories didn't you? Well, doesn't matter, the other 3 are simply delightful.

The first with the cake and the dead man is bad as well, not quite as bad, but stanky as well. The water one with Ted Danson is as bad as The Crate.
Hardly even horror till the last minute. Screw that.

I'm with maskedman, the original's a classic and, beyond the one involving Stephen King, all the stories worked for me.
Also like maskedman, I heard this remake was being aimed at a 2008 release, so I'll believe this one is coming when I hear about a trailer or poster being released.

Actually no, there was more recent news on this, then the 2008 news, if you follow it.

Well, it was probably before I started following that stuff really more in-depthly.
