Scary Fun First Trailer for the CREEPSHOW Horror Anthology Series!

I love watch horror movies and shows that are both scary and fun, and it looks like Greg Nicotero’s upcoming anthology series Creepshow is going to give us a show where the audience is going to have a blast being scared!

This series is a revival of the 1980s horror anthology films from George Romero and Stephen King. As a big fan of those films, and now, after seeing some actually footage teasing these 12 new stories, I couldn’t be more psyched for the show! I love what I’m seeing here, and you can watch it for yourself below and let us know what you think!

CREEPSHOW, a Shudder Original Series premiering September 26. Based on the iconic 1982 film written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, comes a new horror anthology series from the mind of The Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero.
