Creepshow Page #3

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.

be anything but a wilderness.

We didn't believe that.

We were going to make a new country.

Besides, we wanted to see

our dreams come true.

Grandma, it must have been wonderful!

It was.

But don't you think for one single minute

that it was easy.

We burned in summer

and we froze in winter.

But we kept right on going

and didn't complain.

Because we were doing

what we wanted to do!

Can you understand that?

No!

No, no!

There you are, you sucker!

l knew you were in here some place!

Our next program, Let There Be Light.

Many ofyou have made

the great breakthrough...

...one giant step, the faith decision.

l needed that!

You then said, "My troubles are over!"

Not true!

Look up!

Lift up your head!

You will succeed!

Be confident of this one thing!

That God, who has begun

a good thing in you...

...will complete it!

Prerecorded.

l'm growing!

Oh, my God! What a dream!

Oh, no!

Not there!

Jordy?

Daddy?

Jordy!

But you're dead.

You've been dead...

...Christ, three years almost!

You ain't going to get

into that tub, are you?

lt's the water that it wants, Jordy!

Don't you know that?

You get into that water, Jordy...

...you might as well sign

your death warrant.

l'm a goner already, Daddy, ain't l?

l got the stuff from out of that meteor

on me....

And l'm gone.

Ain't l?

Daddy?

Daddy?

Oh, better!

Oh, that's much better!

And now, it's time for the Farm Report.

Sponsored by Granger Farm Supply...

...the home of all your feed

and farm supplies.

Grain prices closed,

having risen most of the session...

...in reaction to positive export news.

Please, please?

Please, God...

...let my luck be in!

Just this once.

Please, God...

...just this once!

And in today's weather...

...not much for the outdoor types,

but you farmers are going to love this!

The current 30-day forecast...

...released by the meteorological station

at Portland...

...calls for moderating temperatures

and lots of rain!

Castle County is going to turn green

so fast in the next month...

...that it's going to be almost miraculous!

Wentworth?

All right, all right!

-Wentworth?

-All right, l said!

That may work on TV, mister,

but l can bench-press 300 pounds.

Get your foot out of my door,

or you'll lose about half of it!

Don't call me "mister"!

You know damn well who l am!

Let's not play any games.

Get out of here!

Listen to me carefully, Harry.

Unless you let me in and talk to me...

...something very nasty will happen

to Rebecca.

So nasty...

...that your little mind

can barely conceive of it.

You've found out. All right.

Becky and l were going

to tell you pretty soon anyway.

Some of these cables are loose, Harry.
