‘A Creepshow Animated Special’ to Premiere on Shudder Next Week

Written by John Edward Betancourt

As the Halloween season begins to wind down, a great deal of us are starting to wrap up our spooky celebrations as we prepare for the upcoming Holiday season. But while turkey and presents are definitely going to be on our minds shortly, it is important to remember… that we still have a full week of Spooky Season left to celebrate.

Which means now is the perfect time to double down on the scary movies you planned to watch from your private collection or on a streaming service. In part to ensure that you achieve your viewing goals by Halloween, but also to clear your schedule for quite the wonderful horror event that is happening on Shudder, next Thursday.
​
For earlier today, this iconic horror streaming service announced that the Creepshow Halloween special, now entitled; A Creepshow Animated Special, is going to make its debut on October 29, 2020. Which is the perfect way to bid farewell to the Halloween season since this particular special is going to offer up some dynamic tales of terror, and here are some details from Shudder, in regard to what you can expect from this special episode:

A Creepshow Animated Special features two stories directed by Creepshow showrunner Greg Nicotero, with animation by Octopie animation studio.
 
“Survivor Type,” based on the short story by Stephen King and adapted by Nicotero, stars Kiefer Sutherland (24, Designated Survivor) as a man determined to stay alive alone on a deserted island no matter what the cost.
 
“Twittering from the Circus of the Dead,” based on the short story by Joe Hill and adapted by Melanie Dale, stars Joey King (The Kissing Booth, The Act) as a teen whose family road trip includes a visit to the gravest show on earth.
 
As an added bonus, Shudder was also kind enough to release some delightful new artwork for this special (above) and a fascinating trailer as well, which we’ve included below. If anything, this is going to be a genuine Halloween treat. Since this series quickly established itself as one of the finest horror shows out there. Which means we can expect nothing less than top notch storytelling from this special, and some genuine scares and the prospect of a proper Halloween special from a network that understands the genre, is going to make the wait for this animated delight, a difficult one indeed.
