Creepshow Page #5

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.

And l do have the gun, don't l?

Help!

Yell all you want, Harry!

Comfort Point is very private! l own it all!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

Nobody will hear you.

Nobody will hear anything!

Now, do what l told you!

Sort of like being buried

in wet cement, eh?

You can't move your arms.

You don't have any leverage.

Go ahead, try to move.

l could really...

...cover you all the way up,

couldn't l, Harry?

l could make Harry all gone!

Oh, no! No, no.

l wouldn't do that.

Here, let me get that out of you.

There you are. That's good.

No, l keep my promises.

Get out.

Get out of here! Jesus!

Richard!

Get it out of here!

Found a friend, Harry?

"l'm just wild about Harry"

Come on, Richard.

Get it out of here!

He's just getting revenge.

For all of the relatives of his that you ate,

baked and stuffed at Ma Maison!

Bad fellow! You bad fellow!

Get away!

Money!

Look, l have money!

l'll give you anything!

Just get me out of this hole!

l have something here...

...that will take your mind off of it.

lt's showtime!

Becky?

lsn't this a great video?

l love this!

Look at the quality of that picture!

Somebody!

Becky?

Becky!

She can't hear you!

l'm sorry. She lost the coin toss.

l had to bury her further down the beach.

Couldn't even leave her a monitor.

Would have shorted out by now.

No, no! That's a trick!

You son of a b*tch!

That's some kind of special-effects trick,

isn't it?

Just look at the VCR back there....

l'm sorry. You can't turn your head.

Let me assure you the VCR is not on PLAY,

it's on RECORD.

l'm going to save this stuff!

Two of you are part of my home movies!

You're insane!

lt won't be long now.

Not long at all.

Oh, my God!

You are insane.

l kept my promise

that you would see Becky again.

ls that insane?

You bastard!

There's a chance you can get out of this.

The tide might even set you free.

lt depends on how long you keep your cool,

how long you hold your breath.

The water is so cold!

So salty.

You're underneath, holding your breath...

...waiting for the wave that's covering you

to go back out...

...so that you can snatch a quick breath...

...before the next wave comes in!

You have a chance, Harry,

if you don't lose your head.

lt looks like she's losing hers!

Oh, God! No!

Feel how hard your heart is beating, Harry?

How fast?

That will make it harder

for you to hold your breath.

Oh, the tide.

lt's coming in.

lt's getting late, Harry.

l'll have to prod along now.

Wait!

But you enjoy the show.

At least until the monitor shorts out.

All right! Come on! Stop it!

Sorry, Harry. l really can't stay.

Come back here!

Oh, God! Harry!

Oh, my God.

Richard!
