While feature films are their mainstay, they\u2019ve also dipped into the world of horror <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> with their most popular one being an anthology show adaptation and continuation of the Stephen King and George Romero classic <strong><em>Creepshow<\/em><\/strong>. Season 2 of the series has just begun, and they\u2019ve already greenlit a third.<\/p>\n<p>The legendary Meg Shields and I reviewed and ranked season one and we were admittedly a bit underwhelmed. We each had a favorite, but the season as a whole was something of a dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointment (an opinion that admittedly put us in the minority). Still, both the premise and the promise are too great to give up hope, so we\u2019re entering into the second season optimistic for thrills, fun, and EC Comics-style chills. We\u2019ll once again be reviewing the episodes and then seeing how they all stack up at the end, so let\u2019s jump in and get our feet wet once more with the season two premiere!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cModel Kid\u201d<\/strong><br \/>Director: Greg Nicotero<br \/>Writer: John Esposito<\/p>\n<p>Joe\u2019s (Brock Duncan) life isn\u2019t great \u2014 he\u2019s bullied outside, and he\u2019s stressed inside by his mother\u2019s ailing health \u2014 so he finds solace in a love for horror movies, characters, and hobbies. When his mom dies, Uncle Kevin (Kevin Dillon) and Aunt Barb (Jana Allen) take over on the parental front, but neither is truly up for the task. Kevin is a brute incapable of understanding or appreciating the boy\u2019s interests, and that intolerance soon leads to him destroying and throwing out much of Joe\u2019s collection. Big mistake because one of the ads in Joe\u2019s horror magazines offers a fun little toy called a voodoo doll.<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues that plagued Season 1 is a sort of clunkiness with its editing and transitions, sometimes in the stories themselves but frequently in the wraparound host segments featuring the Creep. It happens again here as his fumbling with a film projector shifts to animation right before giving a <em>Gillman Meets the Mummy<\/em> title card \u2014 then jumping into the <em>Creepshow<\/em> opening credits \u2014 and then moving back to the magazine contents and a return to the black &amp; white Gillman film (a nod to Universal horrors inexplicably presented as a silent film). It\u2019s a minor thing to be sure, but the disjointed feel hurts the flow.<\/p>\n<p>The segment\u2019s real issue, though, is an obvious familiarity as it takes the wraparounds from the films and turns them into a full story, but it does so without adding anything to the mix. You know im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely and completely what\u2019s coming as Joe is pushed too far by both the uncle and a bully and calls in some supernatural assistance from the classified ads. Curiously, the troubled boy character in the film wraparounds is named Billy, but here it\u2019s the bully who\u2019s named Billy.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of highlights here in the writing as Joe\u2019s mom describes movies as \u201ctime machines\u201d that transport viewers back to past viewings. It\u2019s not a new concept, but it\u2019s a nice nod towards what draws people to revisit films both with and without loved ones. Uncle Kevin is a cruel character, but his argument that it\u2019s \u201chard being a man these days\u201d speaks to an issue that still threatens society today \u2014 namely, the fragility of the male ego. More of an exploration here would have helped the segment stand apart from the movie wraparounds, but it\u2019s not to be. It\u2019s a dull disappointment no matter how you slice it, but happily, the episode rebounds mightily with segment two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPublic Television of the Dead\u201d<\/strong><br \/>Director: Greg Nicotero<br \/>Writer: Rob Schrab<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just another day WQPS, a public television station in Pittsburgh, PA, and various shows are filming across a handful of soundstages. Mrs. Bookberry (Coley Campany) is charming children with her morality tales, a Bob Ross-inspired painter named Norm (Mark Ashworth) is calmly creating works of art, and the host (Peter Leake) of The Appraiser\u2019s Road <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trip<\/a> is checking out his first guest\u2019s family heirloom. The guest is Ted Raimi, and the heirloom? It\u2019s the Necronomicon from his brother Sam\u2019s film, <em>The Evil Dead<\/em> (1981). \u201cIt\u2019s been in the family for years,\u201d says Ted, and once the host starts reading the text all hell breaks loose at WQPS.<\/p>\n<p>Look, if you don\u2019t find \u201cBob Ross versus the Deadites\u201d to be a genius concept then you are not someone I want to know. Ashworth is terrific, and watching him gently intone a warning to an undead Raimi while rolling up his sleeves to expose a skull tattoo from his time in Vietnam is just a delight. The carnage comes quick as the painter, along with his producer (Marissa Hampton) and cameraman (Todd Allen Durkin), try to escape and stop the unfolding supernatural threat spreading blood splatter throughout the studio.<\/p>\n<p>Nicotero manages a few Raimi-esque camera moves along the way as he floats demonically down a hallway and turns paint thinner into a fireball. It\u2019s an energetic romp that, despite the body count, delivers a ton of fun across its short running time. Raimi is highly entertaining, both alive and dead, and more laughs come courtesy of the increasingly foul-mouthed Mrs. Bookberry. It\u2019s an undeniably silly segment \u2014 preventing a live broadcast of the incantation becomes a necessity, but no one thinks to simply move the camera \u2014 but that playfulness succeeds in blending the tones of both <em>Creepshow<\/em> and the <em>Evil Dead<\/em> films.<\/p>\n<p>Karma, an element often at the forefront of the <em>Creepshow<\/em> films and the EC Comics that inspired them, is woven through the segment \u2014 both segments, to be fair, but here it\u2019s less one-note and more creative and satisfying \u2014 both for its characters and public television itself. The story finds value in these people, whether it be teaching art and calmness or fighting for others in the face of adversity (and monsters, and cheekily reminds viewers to contribute during the next pledge drive. It also ends the premiere episode on a high and leaves us excited for the rest of the season, and that\u2019s no small thing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow all of our Creepshow coverage<\/em>!\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
