New gory horror from Stephen King

A trio of strange stories from the pens of Stephen King and George A Romero produced Creepshow 2, horror at its comic book best. If you’ve ever seen Tales of the Unexpected on TV then this is somewhat similar, if a little gorier.

A flavour of what to expect is in the middle episode, The Raft, when four youngsters find themselves on a raft - where else? - at the mercy of a flesh-eating oil slick!

Elsewhere no less than Dorothy Lamour and George Kennedy find themselves ensnared in a tale of double murder and a bloody revenge.

Among the extras are an audio commentary by director Michael Gornick, and documentary focusing on special effects geniuses Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger, plus biographies of some of the main stars.
