Creepshow 2
Creepshow 2: dumb, dumb, not scary. The only segment I was really interested in was The Raft, since it's based on a King story from Skeleton Crew. Though it retained the sense of dread from the book, the kids were so obnoxious that it was hard to feel sympathy when they got eaten by a giant oil slick. Especially the last guy, who touched his girlfriend's boob, then threw her to the monster and swam for his life. In fact, pretty much every character in this movie is completely unlikeable. I feel like these anthology movies never work.

hey there, cool blog!
... have you seen the Grindhouse movies? I just watched them on the weekend ... very interesting way they were filmed ... kind of mindless and weird, but entertaining.

Cool idea for a blog. =)
I know what you mean about The Raft. I was almost glad that last guy got eaten. I say almost because I don't think I'd wish that on anyone LOL.
See me blog :D http://www.pamietnikprogramisty.blogspot.com
It's in Polish but comment, please!! ;P
Omigod, I remember that particular story vividly! I must have watched this stuff when I was 10... and I remember that distinct moment when the guy groped his girl after an evening of death, hunger, and exhaustion. I thought it was so cheesy... I haven't watched the Creepshow's since then, and feel like if I watched it now, I'd be as disappointed in them as you. :)
Congrats on being selected for "B.O.N." Cool blog. :)
I remember the oil slick/blob thingie in the Raft -- creepy
I love 'Creepshow 2' back in the 80's. Back then...when I was younger, that movie truly was scary, but I saw it about a year ago and it did not scare me at all. It's still a cool movie nonetheless.

ahh ya, Creepshow and Creepshow 2 are not supposed to be scary, they were intended as a satire of horror films, much the same as House (which you should check out if you have not seen it) or An American Werewolf in London, which was a horror/comedy.
Cool blog by the way. I must wonder though, do you watch anything other then horror films???
Awesome blog.
I've seen Creepshow 2 countless times as a kid, as well as Creepshow.
Corny and cheesy.
Have you ever seen "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"?
It's one of those movies that you watch and think, "My god...what kind of drugs were they on when they filmed this..."
"Thanks for the ride lady!!"
Ha.
Well it's not really aimed at you is it? I still say these anthology movies rock much better than the cr*p that comes out today like the Scream films. PS: The Hitchhiker was the best story!
