Creepshow Page #2

Synopsis: 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.

Turn that down

and turn it down right now!

Shall l glaze the ham now?

No, Mrs. Danvers, you'll have to wait.

Miss Grantham has not yet arrived.

And you will remember

that today is a very special day.

Yes, ma'am.

Ain't life grand, Mrs. D.?

l do hope she's all right.

Sometimes she loses track of time.

Aunt Bedelia?

Miss Grantham, are you around?

Where's my cake?

l want it.

lt's mine.

Where is he?

My dear, l really couldn't say.

No doubt he's still out at the grave,

hobnobbing with your Aunt Bedelia...

...getting her side of the story l expect.

Well, l want him.

And l want my dinner. l'm hungry.

Go get him then.

You go, Richard.

He's your husband.

l don't even like him.

l'll go and get him.

After all, he's such a sweet boy.

Mrs. Danvers?

Mrs. Danvers!

Mrs. Danvers!

l want my cake.

Where is she?

And where the hell is Hank?

Go see, Richard. Please.

Please.

Look, my darling sister...

...he's your hick....

Husband, l mean. You go look for him.

Richard, l'm scared and it's dark out there!

l just want some more wine, okay?

Please, Richard!

All right. Come on.

Come on!

Are we conserving energy?

lt's Father's Day!

And l got my cake!

Happy Father's Day!

Holy Jesus!

That's a meteor!

l'll be dipped in sh*t if that ain't a meteor!

l wonder how much they'd pay for it

at the college?

I wonder how much they'd pay for it

at the college?

Damn fine one, Mr. Verrill!

How does $50 sound?

Not a cent less than $200!

$75?

$200.

My mother didn't raise idiots!

Keep on counting.

Not a cent less than $200.

My meteor, my price!

l can pay off my bank loan!

That's the ticket.

Got to cool the son of a b*tch off.

You done it now, Jordy Verrill!

You nunkhead!

Nunkhead! Nunkhead!

$200...

...for a broken meteor?

Mr. Verrill, you must be joking!

l wouldn't give you two cents!

Jordy Verrill, you nunkhead!

Verrill luck's always in.

And you spell that kind of luck, B-A-D!

Still, l got to try.

Meteor sh*t!

Maybe l can glue it together

in the morning.

Jesus Christ.

l'm sorry, Mr. Verrill.

These fingers have...

...got to come off.

This is going to be extremely painful,

Mr. Verrill.

Jordy Verrill...

...you nunkhead!

Boy, don't it itch!

Well, that's Verrill luck, all right.

Always in.

Always bad!

But there is a difference

between dreaming and doing.

The dreamersjust sit...

...and moon about how wonderful

it would be...

...if only things were different.

And the years roll on and they grow old.

By and by, they forget everything...

...even about their dreams.

I don't want to be like that.

I want to be somebody.

Everyone laughed at us,

as they did at all the other pioneers.

They said America would never
