Creepshow 1 has a roach segment.

Creepshow 2 rocks! I really like the wooden indian who goes on the killing spree....pretty creepy.

"The Raft" is one of my favorite King stories, and the best segment of Creepshow 2. Did you guys realize that the other girl on the raft (with the dark hair; not Daryl Hannah's red-headed sister) is not even listed in the credits? That's what I've heard, anyway; I haven't had a chance yet to check it out myself.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had half my face eaten away by a glob of goo and didn't even get a screen credit.

3 really isn't that good, it has it's moments. It reminds me of that show that used to be on Nickelodeon when I was younger called "Are You Afraid Of The Dark"

I only watched just so I could say that I have seen it.

I think the scariest part was when the girl is sleeping on the raft and the guy tries to wake her up. Such a well done shock moment. And of course the very last shot in the segment makes a great ending. Just when you think it's all over.......

I recently read the 1950's EC Tales From The Crypt comic that this was based on (or that Stephen King based his short story on).

actually both the tales from the crypt comic and the raft were based on a stephen king short story he did back in college, which he lost his original and couldn't get a copy of the magazine that it was printed in, and then re-wrote it and placed the short story in Bag Of Bones, which was a collection of his short stories

hope that clears something up

It was okay except for the nudity. There weren't very many kills, but there weren't very many people to get killed anyway. The kills that it had were pretty good, but the last one wasn't all that good because they didn't even show it

The Raft was actually in Skeleton Crew, I believe. Bag of Bones was a novel, one of my favorites by King, though many didn't care for it. :)
