Showrunner Would Love to Do A New CREEPSHOW Movie
The second season of Creepshow debuts on Shudder on April 1st. And today, showrunner Greg Nicotero confirms he’d love to develop a movie reboot.
Nicotero tells ComicBook.com: “Well, you’re talking about different audiences. In this day and age, we have a society that tends to like to watch short content. They like the idea of an 18- or a 20-minute morsel. The fact that I think what makes Creepshow different is that you have all these different themes. So I like what we are able to do. Certainly, I would love to consider doing a Creepshow movie and have a little bit more money, and more time, and expand the show.”
The new anthology based on the 1982 horror-comedy classic, is still the most fun you’ll ever have being scared! A comic book comes to life in a series of vignettes, exploring terrors ranging from murder, creatures, monsters, and delusions to the supernatural and unexplainable. You never know what will be on the next page…

Based on Romero’s movie, Creepshow is executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead).

A Creepshow Holiday Special hit back in December. The hour-long episode was called ‘Shapeshifters Anonymous.’ It centered on an anxious man who fears he is a murderer. He searches for answers for his “unique condition” from an unusual support group. Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect) and Adam Pally (The Mindy Project) starred. Nicotero wrote and directed based on a short story by J.A. Konrath (Last Call).
