The first trailer from Shudder‘s upcoming Creepshow series has finally arrived, showcasing what to expect from the 12-part anthology. Announced ahead of its San Diego Comic-Con panel, the footage above features several disturbing shots from each individual story, all narrated by Saw actor Tobin Bell, who along with Kid Cudi, Big Boi, DJ Qualls, and more are slated to make appearances.
The original film was written by Stephen King and George A. Romero paid homage to the campy horror books from EC Comics in the ’50s. According to a press release:
"Shudder announced the two Creepshow stories that will be featured in the show’s premiere episode: the Stephen King story "Gray Matter," adapted by Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi (The Commuter) and directed by series showrunner Greg Nicotero, which stars Adrienne Barbeau, Giancarlo Esposito, and Tobin Bell (Saw); and ‘House of the Head,’ written by Josh Malerman (Bird Box) and directed by John Harrison (Book of Blood, Tales from the Crypt). Harrison was also the first assistant director for George Romero on the original Creepshow movie.
Fans of the franchise who’re at SDCC can also grab a Creepshow poster at booth #4020.
Check out the trailer for Creepshow above and watch the show on Shudder September 26.
