Creepshow 2 is an American horror comedy anthology film directed by Michael Gornick, who was George A. Romero's cinematographer on the original Creepshow. Released in 1987, the screenplay for Creepshow 2 was penned by Romero (director of the original film), and once again based upon stories by Stephen King. It is the follow-up to Creepshow, featuring three more "Jolting Tales of Horror": Old Chief Wooden Head, The Raft, and The Hitchhiker.
Creepshow 2 was followed by a sequel in 2007 (that had no involvement from Stephen King or George A. Romero), titled "Creepshow III". Creepshow make-up artist and Creepshow 2 actor, Tom Savini, has said that he considers Tales from the Darkside: The Movie (1990) the real Creepshow 3.
The cover of the special edition DVD released by Anchor Bay Entertainment in both the U.S. and UK is an homage to the Tales from the Crypt comic books from EC.
A delivery truck pulls up to a newsstand in a small town where a young boy named Billy (named after and confused with the boy from Creepshow) arrives eagerly waiting for it. The truck's back shutter opens to reveal a sinister figure who drops off a package onto the sidewalk: the latest issue of Creepshow, much to Billy's delight. As the film momentarily turns into an animation, the package opens of its own accord,and Billy begins to read and the delivery man reveals his true identity as the Creepshow Creep.
Close your eyes and go to sleep my boy
Lay your pretty head to rest
This nightmare's close to being over
Welcome to the world of the undead
We'll leave these souls behind
wandering together with bloody eyes
All the way across this land
Lurking through the streets the
living dead babe that's you and me
I know you're scared so take my hand
This is a hell bound ride but the
Devil's on our side
Don't be afraid my love,
it's just a little bit of blood
When the sun begins to rise
that's when we call it a night
Sleep soundly through another day
When night comes closing in our evil
will wake us from within
Hungry for taste of our human prety
Vampires in the night
Creepin' up on you, you
