Everyone’s favorite horror anthology is set to return in 2019 with Shudder’s new incarnation of Creepshow, which will see makeup master Greg Nicotero (“The Walking Dead”) directing the premiere. Ahead of this weekend’s New York Comic-Con, Shudder premiered the first poster that hearkens back to the original 1982 film directed by George A. Romero.
The poster is designed by artist Tim Bradstreet and Nicotero, who will also executive-produce and supervise the show’s creative elements. His KNB EFX Group will handle the show’s creature and makeup effects.
“Creepshow is a project very close to my heart!” said Nicotero when originally announced. “It is one of those titles that embraces the true spirit of horror… thrills and chills celebrated in one of its truest art forms, the comic book come to life! I’m honored to continue the tradition in the ‘spirit’ which it was created.”
Each episode will tell original stories and be helmed by a different filmmaker.
A homage to the horror comics of the 1950s, the original Creepshow featured segments written by Stephen King and was directed by a fellow horror legend, George A. Romero.
