CREEPSHOW

Two horror masters – writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero – conjure up five shocking yarns, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic ’50s horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave. A meteor’s ooze makes everything … grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. While A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army.

Craig and Alan talk villains of 2023, anthologies, multiple recasts and the movie “Creepshow” on this week’s Matinee Villains!
