Creepshow Returns to Dole Out More Cleverly Gruesome Life Lessons

Creepshow is back for its fourth season, and the horror anthology series doesn’t diverge much from its established formula: two stories per episode, both putting characters through gory ordeals that climax in (usually) well-earned punishment. You know a twist is coming, but Creepshow’s draw is that you can never quite map out the road to get there—and there’s guaranteed visceral thrills along the way.

With horror veteran Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) again steering the ship, Creepshow season four brings 12 tales to life (and death) across its six installments, some sprinkled with references to George A. Romero and Stephen King, who collaborated on the Creepshow 1982 horror anthology film. With a few exceptions, the cast is less high-profile than other seasons, which isn’t a knock; by now, Creepshow has its own devotees who’re tuning in for the stories as well as the grisly special effects. And anyway, the performances are strong across the board, even if you might not recognize the actors.
