My personal fave is Something To Tide You Over, but I do love Sai King's role as Jordy Verrill. He was brilliant, but there is something about Leslie Nielsen burying people up to the neck that I found to be just a bit more awesome.

My favorite was Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill. But Steves son Joe was also really good in his role as Billy.

Creepshow?
The one with Dr. Challis aka Tom Atkins in it?
Did you know that this DVD is not available in Australia either?
How lame is this country?
I have to do all my DVD shopping from the states.
We don't even have the classic Night of the Creeps for sale in Australia.

Um...okay... :oo: Tom Atkins did play the father for the prologue and epilogue of Creepshow. But I don't think that answers my question. Have you even seen the film? If you have... I was just wondering if you had a favorite segment from the film...

And thank you for sharing that...useful bit of information. I'm sure it will come in handy next time I'm in Australia...

Over the weekend I got a four pack of creepshow, cats eye, Doloras claiborne and Dreamcatcher for fathers day. I watched creepshow fro the 1st time and laughed so hard I alomost cried. The 1st segment was kind of boring and anoying "wheres my cake!" But the rest was really funny. The segment the Tide was really suspenseful and leslie neilson was kind of scary

Ted Danson's first movie role too!
Fathers Day does it for me... like robdraggoo mentioned, "Where's My CAKE???"
LMAO :D

My favourite "Creepshow" segment actually comes from the generally far inferiour "Creepshow 2," ie., "The Raft."

My favorite segment is one that has yet to have been mentioned (is that right? 0.o) They're Creeping Up on You. The ending... Don't watch that if you're eating

My favourite segment of Creepshow is " The Crate" but my favourite part of the film is watching Ed Harris dancing in "Fathers Day". Watched an interview with him on the special edition DVD and he was the first to admit that dancing is not his strong point. Makes me feel slightly better when I do my embarassing Dads dance in front of my daughter! :blush:

I concur. Shortly after I watched this, I was sitting in deck chairs with some friends on their (of course) deck at night. This deck was one of those that is very close to the ground; it almost could have been a patio. Anyway, we were talking blah blah teenager stuff, and I saw movement at the bottom edge of my vision. I looked down, and dark gray slugs were seeping (there is no other word for it) up between the boards of the deck. :eek2:

I screamed like a girl.

I can still see the last, horribly unfair shot of that segment.

My favorite is FATHER'S DAY. As I write this, I'm sitting here with my "I Want My Cake!" t-shirt on and the CREEPSHOW soundtrack playing in the background.

This has to be my all-time favorite film.

My favorite segment was the one with Adrienne Barbeau (I believe that's how her first name is spelled...been awhile, you know?!). You know, "THE CRATE". Man, that was scary! The teethon that thing!!! Whew!!!

Ol' chief wooden head from Creepshow 2. I though the guy holding up the old mom and pop store was pretty hot. :love:

It's usually a tie between "The Crate" and "Something to Tide You Over", but lately I've really enjoyed E.G. Marshall's performance in "They're Creeping Up On You".

Not a bad story in the bunch. I'd probably say my favorite was "Something to tide you over."

I'm a-gonna say "They're Creeping Up On You." VERY disturbing and gross; classic horror.

However, I'd rather watch "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" than any of the others, because it's hilarious.

Love me some Creepshow.

" I can hold my breath for a looooonng time!!" That's my favorite!

This is a tough question. I have watched this movie at least a hundred times since I was like 4 years old when it was released.

When I was younger, I was all about Jordy Verrill and the BUGS. Then as I got older, I fell in love with Something to Tide You Over and The Crate. Fast forward to the teenage years and marijuana and booze, and I saw Father's Day and Jordy Verrill in a whole different light(creepy). I never laughed so hard watching Ed Harris' skull get crushed by that gravestone.

Anyway, after it is all said and done, I rate them.....

THE CRATE
TIDE

Speaking of the Ed Harris scene, how exactly did Nathan Gratham pull it over on him? You see him there cackling at Harris, and then BAM! Was Nathan using some supernatural power that we didn't know about?

I think "Fathers' Day" is kinda lame, but all the others are good. I especially like "Tide." When Leslie Nielsen screams "I can hold my breath for a long, long time!," there's just something beautifully psychotic about that. Defiant to the end.

The Crate is classic. "Tell it to call you Billie!"

Something To Tide You Over & They're Creeping Up On You are probably my other favorites.

I loved "The Crate", I remember being about 9 years old when Id first saw the movie. I was absolutely terrified, and my dad kept telling me the monster in the crate was "Donkey Kong" in an effort for me to not be as scared. To this day it still disturbs me.

Those precision BITE MARKS from The Crate really stand out in my mind's eye. I was packing up something recently using a industrial tape gun, and I screwed up and gouged my left hand...

A dozen sharp metal teeth peeled back my skin and left the shredded tendrils hanging, like a demented carrot peeler.

It was white inside. It was white. It was white. It hurt, but it was white?

And then it was very red all over the floor.

this one is obvious:

'For god's sake Henry, whatdoya want now?!!'
BAM!
(Henry imagines he just shot Wilma)

'Nothing Wilma, everything is just fine!'

THE COOL, STRANGE, WARPED, ECHOED, GONG-SOUND EFFECT

Everyone surrounding the gruesome scene and begins to applaud...
'Great shot, Henry'
Henry has a shy, aw-shucks expression.
etc.

A great example of morbid humor

But it's that sound effect, you see. Something about that sound effect was perfect.

...also, for a reason I am unclear as to why, the scene in Father's Day where the maid enters the room and says:
"Shall I glaze the ham now, ma'am?"

seems like i shall remember that forever.

Also loved the character of "Billie" in The Crate!

I watched Creepshow yesterday, it's really great! I liked Father's Day better, it is so creepy. The Tide is second on my list of favorite episodes.

I'll go for "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", because Steve appeared in it, and I thought it was very entertaining. I laughed a lot on that one. Beware of spoilers here. But for the horror part, I think that the segment where Leslie Nielsen gives a shot at burrying some guy in the sand with only his head showing was pretty scary and stressing. I couldn't eat crabs for a while after that

mmm so hard to choose. I watched it again resentingly and it was so much better than I imagined. If i had to go for any it would be the Tide because it good to see Leslie Nielsen get back to some serious acting. Stephen's role also as Jordy, its hard to tell its him, he really should act more often.
