- Synopsis
- This sequel to the popular EC Comics parody once again brings an anthology of Stephen King's tales to the screen. In "Old Chief Wood'nhead," a dime store Indian comes to life and exacts bloody retribution on those who murdered its owner; "The Raft" details four teenagers descent into terror as they are stranded in the middle of a lake patrolled by a carnivorous gelatin monster; "The Hitchhiker" tells the tale of a woman's fateful date with destiny after she runs down a nightime hitcher. As in the first film, all three tales are interconnected by "the Creep," an undead host with a penchant for maniacal cackling.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The strong writing offsets the film's weaknesses. 'Creepshow 2' may not have the major-league excitement of 'The Exorcist' or 'Aliens', but in its own right, it succeeds"
-
"The episodes are marginally interesting, but each is a little too long. And each could be fully explained in a one-sentence synopsis."
