Arrow Video Announces ‘Creepshow 2’ Blu-Ray: Reveal GORGEOUS Artwork

Published

on

Arrow Video has announced today that they will be releasing a 2K remastered edition of Creepshow 2, the 1987 anthology horror film written by George Romero (Night of the Living Dead) and based upon stories from Stephen King (It, Carrie). The home video edition will be packed with special features, including audio commentary from director Michael Gornick, a featurette of special make-up FX legend Rick Baker, and more. The full list of features can be seen below.

In “Old Chief Wood’nhead”, a group of young hoodlums face retribution from an unlikely source after looting a local hardware store. Meanwhile, “The Raft” sees a group of horny teens wishing they’d read the warning signs first before taking a dip in a remote lake. Finally, an uptight businesswoman finds herself with some unwanted company following a hit-and-run incident in “The Hitch-hiker”.

Whilst retaining the EC comic book flavour that made the original such a hit, Creepshow 2, this time directed by long-time Romero collaborator Michael Gornick, is a decidedly darker and grimmer affair than its predecessor and remains one of the greatest horror anthologies of all time.

Arrow Video will be releasing Creepshow 2 on December 13th for North American audiences.
