Shudder’s New “Creepshow” Series Gets a Classic Comic Poster

Creepshow Father's Day

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.

Looking for New Episodes of “Chucky” on Peacock? Here’s What Changed

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this week’s episode of “Chucky” Season 3, which aired on USA and SYFY last night and was expected to be available on Peacock today. After all, we had previously been told that all new episodes of “Chucky” would be available for streaming the day after they aired, an exciting change from previous seasons of the hit horror series.

And while last week’s mid-season premiere of “Chucky” indeed did arrive on Peacock last Thursday, this week’s episode – titled “Panic Room” – is currently missing from the service.

So what’s going on here? The official @PeacockTVCare customer service account over on Twitter has been responding to fans who are wondering why they can’t stream this week’s episode of “Chucky” on Peacock, and their answer indicates a shift from the original plan.

They write, “New episodes of ‘Chucky’ Season 3 will be available on Peacock 7 days after they air on Syfy.”

That means that “Panic Room” won’t be available for streaming on Peacock until Wednesday, April 24, the same day the second-to-last episode of Season 3 arrives on USA and SYFY.

This a huge bummer for all the cord cutters out there, and anyone who’s unable to watch new episodes of “Chucky” as they air live on USA and/or SYFY. The show’s Peacock strategy has been wildly all over the place from the beginning, but it’s especially strange to have been promised next-day streaming only for the plan to suddenly change without any warning.

Just two more episodes remain in the back half of “Chucky” Season 3, which was split in half as a result of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The final two episodes, “There Will Be Blood” and “Final Destination,” will be airing on April 24 and May 1, which means you can expect “There Will Be Blood” on Peacock May 1 and “Final Destination” on Peacock May 8.

A shame, considering these final three episodes are BONKERS in the best of ways.
