Five tales of terror are presented. The first deals with a demented old man returning from the grave to get the Father's Day cake his murdering daughter never gave him. The second is about a not-too-bright farmer discovering a meteor that turns everything into plant-life. The third is about a vengeful husband burying his wife and her lover up to their necks on the beach. The fourth is about a creature that resides in a crate under the steps of a college. The final story is about an ultra-rich businessman who gets his comeuppance from cockroaches.

Parent Guide

A character grows tons of alien fungus on his body. Not gory, just gross looking.

The zombie in the "Father's Day" segment has a very grotesque design, with maggots crawling around it, and writhing decaying flesh.

A character shoots himself. It is not bloody or gory, but it may be upsetting.

Two zombies that appear in the "Something to Tide you Over" segment have very gruesome appearances. They have wrinkly blue skin, demonic faces, and seaweed covering them.

A man is shown cleaning up bloodstains off the floor from the crate monster's rampage.

Two characters are buried in the sand up to their heads. When the tide comes in, it drowns them both. One of them is shown on a recording, and another is shown onscreen. Both of their deaths are very drawn out and disturbing.

Whenever the lighting turns red and blue, it is a warning that something scary or violent is going to happen.

An old man is killed when he is hit over the head with an ashtray. Some blood is shown.

A man dies when a voodoo doll of himself is stabbed several times. No blood.

A woman's neck is snapped. Later on, the same woman's decapitated head is used as a cake. It has frosting covering it, and candles put into its head.

An old woman is strangled to death by a zombie.

Several characters are killed by an ape-like monster. One man is pulled into a crate, and we hear crunching noises, screaming, and blood oozing out of it. Another man is slashed by its claws, and then has his neck ripped open with lots of blood splattering all over the place, and cartoonish zig-zag bite marks are shown. Another woman is pulled away and eaten offscreen.

Two zombie-like creatures are repeatedly shot with a pistol and black slime oozes from their wounds.

A man is killed when he falls into a hole, and a gravestone crushes his head. No blood.

A character fantasizes about killing his obnoxious wife. First he imagines shooting her in the head with blood spewing, and everyone applauds him. Then, he imagines strangling her with a tie. Both visions are played in a darkly comedic way.

Although the violence in Creepshow is graphic, it is so over the top and cartoony it's more darkly hilarious than scary.

A man is killed by tons of cockroaches that crawl all over him, into his mouth, and burst out of his chest.
