The Raft
 

From Creepshow 2... Anyone else think this was freaky and disgusting? I loved it.

Yup,

ME!!!




The guy who breaks in half, was the highlight for me.



Cruel tale

The thing that creeped me out was when the innocent one was like "it hurttts" poor little hooker.

This was one of my favorite scary movies as a kid. It totally freaked me out. I liked Creepshow 2 better than Creepshow 1. 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).

It was a fine episode.

And I will never feel comfortable around one of those big green garbage bags again. :)

Loved it, loved the short story too.

ditto

scared me out of the water in a way JAWS never could. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE JAWS, but I'm not remotely scared of shark attack...but for some reason every time I go into a lake I think of that oilspill/floating blob-thing and get just a little nervous.

i always thought it was great, until the last scene where it turns from a blob into a garbage bag stretched over a tent frame. The entire story makes that forgiveable.

I watched it loads of times when i was a kid.................But i dont remember anything about it now:confused:

Except something about roaches.

Yeah, really good short. When Stephen King is on, he's great. I highly recommend his short The Reaper's Image.

I still think I'm better at writing short horror than he is though...
