Storyline

"Creepshow 2" is divided into three stories, conducted by a leading segment where a boy that loves the horror comic book Creepshow buys seeds of carnivorous plant and is bullied by four teenagers. Meanwhile the Creep tells the tales of Creepshow: (1) "Old Chief Wood'nhead" - The elders Ray (George Kennedy) and Martha Spruce (Dorothy Lamour) have lived their whole life and raised their family with their small store in an Arizona town. Now the town is economically decadent and Ray gives credit to his costumers including the Indians of Ben Whitemoon's tribe. When Ray is repairing the wooden statue of an old chief in the front door, Ben (Frank Salsedo) arrives and asks him to keep the jewels of his tribe as a guarantee for their debts. However, Ben's nephew Sam (Holt McCallany) unexpectedly arrives with two other punks to steal Ray, and he kills the elders.

Crazy Credits

.After the credits are over the following text appears: "Juvinile delinquency is the product of pent up frustrations, stored up resentments and bottled up fears, it is not the product of cartoons and captions, but the comics are a handy, obvious, and uncomplicated scapegoat. If the adults who crusade against them would only get steamed up over much basic causes of delinquency as parental ignorance, indifference, and cruelty. they might discover that comic books are no more then a menace than "Treasure Island" or "Jack the giant killer" Colliers magazine 1949

disappointing sequel

I liked the first creepshow it was scary had dark humor,and had ironic moments.My friend told me that there was a sequel and he said don't watch it it's not worth your time.I didn't listen to him and I still watched it but I hate to say he was right.the first few problems with this movie is that they ignored almost the entire concept it's a children comic book it was a little sick but it was because boys have a tendency to like those sort of things at that age of the continuing protagonist they like reading things based on monsters.they including far too many adulatory scenes like taking drugs,and even a few breast shots little boys would be smart enough not to read comic books that contain pornography while riding around on their bikes.the animated sequences were to serve little purpose to the stories the reason why they had made it to a cartoon form unlike what the original did was to imply that it took place in the comics and that why it was all extended because they couldn't afford no big time actors.although it looks rather nice it doesn't fit in with the overall tone of these stories,the subplot is not interesting and it tones down the content unbelievably.As a sequel to the first movie it's very disappointing the acting was dreadful the 3 stories were nicely written i thought.but this wasn't as strong as the original.
