On May 1, 1987, Creepshow 2 premiered in theaters, bringing another set of chilling tales to the big screen. Directed by Michael Gornick and based on stories by Stephen King, the film continued the comic book horror style that made the original Creepshow a cult classic.

The movie starred Lois Chiles, George Kennedy, Dorothy Lamour, and featured makeup effects legend Tom Savini in a memorable role. With a budget of 3.5 million dollars, Creepshow 2 earned a solid 14 million dollars at the box office, cementing its place as a favorite among 80s horror anthologies.

Fun fact: Tom Savini not only acted in Creepshow 2 but also worked behind the scenes on the film’s special effects, helping create some of its most memorable visuals.
