9/8 #3 Creepshow

George Romero joined the great potential Zombie hoard this year, but his flicks live on. This Romero/Stephen King collaboration continues my focus on 80s gore. It was made the year I was born, and I still love the way the creatures and gore look. The vignette style allows for minimum plot and maximum Savini effects, which is always a plus. There's no waiting 2 hours for a stomach to be ripped open like in Dawn of the Dead. Some of the King dialogue is a little lame (as is usually the case with his film adaptations), but the stellar cast (which includes a young Ed Harris, Ted Danson, and King himself) handles the fun with gusto and King and Romero more than make up for the shortcomings with style and love of the genre. This movie boasts 'you'll never have so much fun being scared'. True that.
