Creepshow’s first pair of ghoulish tales so solidly nail what made the original so beloved (an unabashed sense of look-what-we-can-get-away-with fun) that it’s easy to get swept up in its own appreciation for the dark material. It might not all be perfect in the coming episodes, but it’ll certainly be a good gamble. Read full review

Shudder’s Creepshow bottles the original’s pulpy spirit, using the atmosphere and variety provided by shorter segments for an irresistibly macabre package. Read full review

With only one episode available, it’s tough to get a gauge of consistency, but the tone and aesthetic Nicotero is striving for, at least, fill my horror-loving heart with joy. Read full review

Casual horror fans may not really get the appeal of Creepshow, but it's not made for them anyway. Horror aficionados, on the other hand, will find a lot to like. Read full review

Only one episode was sent for review and it’s a mediocre affair, but anthology series are inherently going to fluctuate in quality and this horror fan will be checking out episodes to come for sure. Read full review

I remember renting the VHS tapes of the original Creepshow and watching them with my family and friends. Well, this show felt like meeting an old pal, that time hasn't aged at all, but in the contrary, was made even better. I enjoyed every horror story and every moment of it.

YMMV but I, for one, thought it was a hell of a lot of fun, just like the original movie was way back in '82. Perfect October viewing. Looking forward to improvements in season 2.

It’s good it is not outstanding, but the original series wasn’t amazing. The main thing I miss is the crypt keeper intros.

Oh, This Is Bad - I Mean REALLY BAD .. This new CREEPSHOW series should be avoided. The originality is non-existent. The production value is years below a standard community access cable production.
