Fantastic CREEPSHOW poster created by artist Marc Schoenbach

If you’re a horror movie fan, you’ll appreciate this poster for the classic 1982 horror anthology film. Disturbing spectacle.

The poster was created by artist Marc Schoenbach for Bottleneck Gallery. Unfortunately, I was late for this one and it’s already sold out. I try to keep up to date with everything that’s going on in the poster collecting world, but I missed this one.

About the Print: “Marc is a master of horror and we are so excited to welcome him back with a big, bold print for George Romero and Stephen King’s Creepshow. Centered around the iconic mascot, Marc’s print portrays The Creep in all his scruffy, creepy glory. And just like the film itself, this print is both terrifying and pure fun.”

Creepshow was directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King, and is an anthology horror film that interweaves five chilling short stories inspired by the EC horror comics of the 1950s.

The film opens with a prologue that tells the story of a young boy punished by his father for reading a horror comic, setting the stage for the stories that follow.

The first story, “Father’s Day,” tells the story of a vengeful corpse who returns from the grave on Father’s Day to take revenge on his greedy family.

“The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill,” based on a Stephen King short story, tells the story of a dim-witted farmer who discovers a meteorite and ends up suffering a tragic fate when it is swallowed up by a rapidly spreading alien fungus.

In “Something to Tide You Over,” a wealthy, vengeful husband enacts a cruel plan against his wife and her lover, only to find himself facing supernatural retribution.

The anthology continues with “The Crate,” where a mysterious, bloodthirsty creature trapped in a crate wreaks havoc after being discovered by a college janitor. This segment combines suspense, gore, and dark humor as the characters wrestle with the monstrous entity.

The final story, “They’re Creeping Up on You!”, centers on a ruthless, germ-phobic businessman who finds himself besieged by a relentless horde of cockroaches in his meticulously disinfected apartment, with a grotesque and ironic ending.

The film ends with an epilogue in which the boy from the prologue takes revenge on his abusive father using a voodoo doll.

Disturbing spectacle masterfully blends horror and black comedy, creating a nostalgic homage to classic horror comics while offering a unique cinematic experience full of macabre twists.
