Halloween Special: Creepshow, or the (Stephen) King of Comedy

  • Summary

  • It's a very special Halloween episode as the gang covers the classic EC-comics inspired 1982 George Romero/Stephen King anthology film Creepshow. Our conversation includes: The strengths of the anthology format, the history of moral panics, how much creatively minded boomers hated their dads, EC comics and the comics code, scary Leslie Neilson, and King's memorable turn as doomed simpleton farmer Jordy Verrill.
