Creepshow (1982)

Creepshow is a 1982 American horror comedy anthology film directed by the late George A. Romero and written by Stephen King, making this film his screenwriting debut. The film's ensemble cast includes the late Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, the late Fritz Weaver, the late Leslie Nielsen, Carrie Nye, the late E. G. Marshall, the late Viveca Lindfors, Ed Harris, Tom Atkins and Elizabeth Regan as well as King himself. It is followed by the film Creepshow 2.

Creepshow consists of five short stories: "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" (based on the King short story "Weeds"), "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate" and "They're Creeping Up on You!" Two of these stories were adapted from King's short stories, with the film bookended by prologue and epilogue scenes featuring a young boy named Billy (played by King's son, Joe), who is punished by his abusive father for reading horror comics.
