An early draft, with the Laurel Group address on the title page. Based on various EC horror comic series of the 1950s, as well as two short stories by Stephen King. An anthology of five different stories set in a very loose frame narrative of a young boy being punished by his father for reading a horror comic called Creepshow.

The stories vary from familial revenge to alien life-forms. A film that belongs in a category with Mario Bava's 1968 Danger: Diabolik!
