 Thanks for checking out this review video. So this is for creep show season 2 Specifically, this is for episode 1 of creep show season 2 My plan here is to do what I did with the first season, which is review every single episode, which includes two stories for each Probably about 25 minutes each if they end up being like the first season and like the first episode of the second season I'm also planning at that at the end to do a wrap-up like I did for the first season of My ranking of all the stories from season 2 and then I think after that I'm going to also do a ranking like a full ranking that will include season 1 season 2 and all the special Stories that have been done as well. So that's my plan. Just letting you know so What is going on with episode 1 of season 2? I will say right off the bat. It's good to see the creep back again I've I definitely enjoyed season 1 But it was one of those situations where it felt kind of half and half on the stories where half the stories It was like a and the other half. I was like, oh, that's good. I enjoyed that So if episode 1 of season 2 is any indicator of where we're headed Better even better than season 1. Hopefully that continues One of the stories really enjoyed the other story enjoyed quite a bit. So yeah, I'm gonna talk about that But I cannot give synopsis. So I can't do that for any of the creep show stories because I mean I Was asked to but also it makes sense because if I give a synopsis These are such short stories are like 25 minutes a piece that just a quick synopsis can end up giving a lot away So no synopsis, but I'll tell you the title of the stories So the first one for episode 1 of season 2 is called model kid Directed by Greg Nicotero who also has obviously done a bunch of walking dead stuff. That's what he's best known for Apparently, there's also a walking dead movie coming. It says in the IMDb credits for him untitled walking dead movie we'll see Then for creep show he's he directed the stories gray matter the finger Which is one of my favorites survivor type Twitterings from the circus of the dead and shapeshifters anonymous, which I think is my favorite right now It's close between that and the second story of season Of episode 1 of season 2 just saying Written by John Esposito who wrote scripts for graveyard shift tale of the mummy the walking dead webisodes a bunch of those Uh night and then he also did night of the paw story from the first season of creep show This stars well, it's got a bunch of people in it, but big names I'm just gonna say the who the big bigger names are it's got kevin dillon in it Who was in such things as platoon The blob. Yes one of the best remake horror remakes out there And it's probably best known as johnny drama from entourage and he is a delight in this story He brings The seriousness to the character that's kind of needed, but he also brings a nice comedic Element to it because that's just kind of how his acting seems to be at least I mean think entourage if you've seen him in that or think the blob like he's got this little bit of a comedic Bent to the way he delivers lines is just kind of always there and that's present here. So there is some comedy to it There's a little comedy actually baked in I think that's kind of a theme with just the creep show Stories in general. They always like to put some light, you know, kind of fun funny stuff in there Some are heavier than others. This one's a little bit lighter But there is that funny stuff to it because this one's also kind of emotional And I enjoy that aspect of it. So There's some real old horror Old school horror nostalgia that ends up being used in this that's kind of the lead into the story Which I think that you'll see what I mean when you watch it It it kind of transitions from one part of something that you don't really know what's going on Into the actual story and then you're just like, oh, I see how this fits in and I thought that transition was really cool Really well done really enjoyed that aspect of it This speaks a lot to Old school horror fans. I'm talking like old old school horror fans like, you know, hammer Uh universal monsters more universal monsters But you know the older school horror fans who really grew up with horror before before horror was all really that cool Was like cool at all really I mean you can kind of glean some of that from the title called model kid m o d e l you'll kind of get it but Um Plays heavy on nostalgia and I like that aspect of it for that reason that kind of rolls into the emotional aspect of it, which that's not all the emotional. There's emotional parts of the story But I think those are integrated pretty well um There's a portion of this that kind of speaks a little bit to How people in the horror community can kind of end up feeling ostracized With the rest of the world because of their interest in horror, especially, you know, those older school horror fans Before before horror genre was thought of as being like legitimate or being more popular Or more acceptable basically so because it you know, it takes place in the past um There was a portion of this I personally really connect with uh in in finding kind of distraction and also catharsis in horror films It's it's something that's just kind of like said, but it's also shown a little bit in the actual story So I I like that aspect of it as well Uh solid comedy to this mainly from kevin dillon. Like I already said, it's not really it's not scary or creepy like at all It's just more emotional and kind of fun. And like I said, just packed with that nostalgia to it It's well directed Good practical effects to it and the comic color usage is solid Which you know, that's a calling card of these stories for creep show They always have like these bits that are very bright have very nice colors And kind of remind you of a comic book panel because duh, it's from creep show comic book idea So anyway, overall, I'm going to give the story model kid three stars. That's what I'm going with for that one It's it's decent Then we have public television of the dead now this one Almost overtook shapeshifters anonymous for me for the best. It's very very close, but not quite there Directed by greg nicotero We just talked about him. So I'm not going to go over that stuff written by rob shrub, which kudos rob Your script for this was very nice Rob's written scripts for monster house. Yes, the robert zemeckis film Wrote a lot for the sarah silverman program, which was a funny show So it gives you an idea of how much comedy will be baked into this one a good amount Uh, and he did this creep show story bad wolf down I wasn't big on that one. It was okay. That's kind of like more middle of the pack for me But this the writing on this script Very nice and there is some nostalgia baked into this one That's kind of just the thing in general with the creep show stories In addition to always having, you know, some sort of nostalgic element from past horror franchises or movies or whatever They also have a lot of little easter eggs in each Story, I don't really look for those to to pull them out but on a second viewing. I'll probably do that I'm not going to make a video about it But it's fun to just rewatch so just know that they're in there if you didn't already Which a lot of people if you watch season one, you know that Um stars ted ramie. He's not the only person but he's the bigger name and I love ted ramie's acting He his delivery. He's always got this kind of like Just kind of like off hand smooth normal guy But kind of funny delivery for his lines. He's a really good actor and he does an excellent job in this I think what he brings to this particular story in numerous ways is awesome So very good. Obviously, he's best known for things like all of the evil dead films that he's been in drag Me to hell midnight meat train. He was in wishmaster. He was in apparently very small part Also some small parts in blood rage Who knows blood rage probably a lot of people if you like the last drive in candy man shocker stuff like that So he's done a lot. He has a ton of acting credits There's a pretty funny moment I actually didn't see coming in this film and a funny show reference That's very very recognizable in this one lots of references that are very recognizable to actual horror fans And a reference that's not horror related, but everyone should get because it's Well, you'll see what I mean and it's it's pretty wonderful There's something introduced that makes you say oh, hell. Yes Here we go because that's what I said in my mind when this thing popped up In the episode. I was like, oh, hell. Yes, here we go because it definitely marks the point where things get Very fun Very crazy and wonderful Uh, they went pretty big on the practical effects for this one, especially in comparison to the model kids story Obviously, that's a great thing. I love it. It's like they're stepping things up Hopefully they keep with this and they do more of this stuff for more episodes There are multiple scenarios in this story It's kind of like multiple pieces of a story that they end up kind of weaving together And I think they come together really well This goes back to what I was saying that rob shrob did a really good job with this script It's tight. It moves. It's fun. It's funny. It's It's all sorts of great things. I love it They're um All right, so the last my my closing piece on this one. This one is insanely delightful It has comedy mayhem gore and ties in awesomely to a very beloved film franchise So I know a lot of people when they see this one are going to hit the roof With how it's not only how it's executed, but the content of it and the tie-ins for it People are gonna love this I'm sure there will still be some people who don't really like it and for those people I would love to hear on the comments why you don't like it But I think you're gonna have a lot of people loving this particular story I was very happy with it. Like I said, it almost got my number one slot for all the stories that they've done on creep show I love it. I'm gonna give it a four star rating at this point So good start to the new season of creep show. So Um, I'm hoping I can put out reviews for the episodes that are coming out each week because that's the way it is No, it's April 1st, and then there's an April 8th, and it's just gonna be One per week from there on out.
