We're focusing on horror anthologies for this pairing, with two notable examples from the 1980s! First up, the only collaboration between horror masters Stephen King and George Romero resulted in one of the best horror anthologies ever made. In 1982's "Creepshow," with Romero directing a screenplay written by King, the film begins with its wrap-around storyline featuring Tom Adkins and Iva Jean Saraceni as parents of young Joe King (Stephen's son) who is caught reading a "Creepshow" comic book, which his father does not approve of! Then begins five different stories: "Father's Day" starring Ed Harris and Viveca Lindfors about an intolerant father who wants his birthday cake, "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" starring Stephen King himself about a dim-witted farmer and a mysterious meteor that crashes on his property, "Something to Tide You Over" starring Leslie Nielson and Ted Danson about a cuckolded husband's revenge, "The Crate" starring Hal Holbrook and Adrienne Barbeau about a professor who uses an otherworldly find to solve his marital problems, and "They're Creeping Up On You" starring E.G. Marshall about a germaphobe tormented by an infestation he can't control! Also starring Fritz Weaver, Gaylen Ross, Don Keefer, and featuring a cameo from Tom Savini!
