I liked the first one as it had some scary bits and it was funny too, Leslie Nielsen gave a good performance, and the story about the crate had a first rate cast of Fritz Weaver, Hal Holbrook, and Adrienne Barbau and was very spooky..... . For Creepshow 2, i didn't like the first story about the cigar store indian coming to life after the old couple had been murdered in the store. I guess for me that kind of violence is too realistic. The Raft story was pretty good, and true to King's short story. The last story about the lady and the guy she hit was just okay.

Does anyone else like these movies. They're painfully bad (in a good way) - anyway, my friends and I, whenever we are bored, we watch Creepshow 2. I love 'em both but am partial to part 2....Thanks for the ride lady!

I've seen the first Creepshow about a zillion times, and I love it. My favorite story is the first one, Father's Day. For some reason I just like the upper class twits in it, and that drunk aunt or whatever played by Viveca Lindfors is priceless.
The second one I only remember seeing once, and it was okay. The Raft was the best bit -- the other two stories were kind of silly.

I've only seen the first one. I didn't even know they made a second one. I loved the story about Leslie Nielson drowning people, and the one about Stephen King getting turned into the grass man. But yeah, they're good in a bad way

I own the first one ($5.50 at Wal*Mart), but haven't watched it in awhile. I've seen both of them several times and get them confused. The one with the slime like monster in the water enrages me. She dies so he could cop a cheap feel! AH! I honestly can't watch the one with the bugs. I have severe issues with bugs, and can barely look at them on tv, especially in that context. But all in all, they are a delight. Lame, but a delight.

The first film is fun, and "The Raft" story from 2 is decent as well.

"What's the matter Mr. Pratt? Buuuuugs got your tounge?" LOL I always loved: "I can hold my breath for a long time!" (insane laughter)

I like them both. It has been a few years since I've seen the second one.

It's been a while since I've seen them, but both are a treat.

I liked the first one for its schlocky fun value, but didn't like the second one - something about it just didn't work. (Haven't seen either one, though, in many years.)

I liked the first one in a "Camp" sort of way. It was amusing. I do not think I have seen the second. I do like the short story The Raft So I think that I would remember seeing it made into a movie. Another one of King's that I like in the same sort of way is Cat's Eye. Any of those movies are fun to put in on a wet cold rainy winter day in the Pacific Northwest and just veg out.

I lived in Bangor Maine at the time they were making the second movie and remember all the locations(also Pet Cemetery also and went to the world premiere in Bangor). The story of the lady hitting the guy had her fallowing this road that is only 2 miles long at most and kept following the same signs. When ever I see Werewolf I think of that movie. I personally liked the first one, the second one was so-so I always thought it would make a pretty good MST3K episode though.

Supposedly they're remaking Creepshow ala Sin City (which is a great idea but we'll see...)
