Goofs:

Continuity: When the possessed radio unexpectedly starts playing a song when Jerry is in the shower, the sound of running water stops and the bathroom door opens immediately. Jerry could not have possibly turned off the water, stepped out of the shower, and opened the door in this tiny amount of time.

Quotes:

John: [holding Kathy's bloody severed head] Hey Charles, check out the brain!
John: [lifts open top of head and shakes it, making the brain vibrate slightly] Look, it even JIGGLES the right way!

I was truly horrified . . . with how bad it was.

Stay away from this DVD as if it were the black sludge in Creepshow 2. I'm an avid fan of the first film, and I have a soft-spot in my heart for the second one (I watched these movies repetitively as a teen). The first two movies even prompted me to read the EC horror comics they were modeled after: Haunt of Fear, Tales From the Crypt, and The Vault of Horror.

The charms of 1 & 2 were their great stories and comic-book-style format (pages turning between stories, comic panels transforming to live-action, etc.). Creepshow III has NONE of these elements. WARNING: This is a Creepshow release by TITLE ONLY. The film truly resembled the quality one would expect form a YouTube indie film produced by a high school student: Horrid acting, a total of TWO shooting locations (a cluster of houses and an apartment building), and stories that either made no sense or went nowhere.

It was a real shame, as I looked forward to the release of this film. You've been warned!
