Stephen King and George A. Romero’s cult classic horror anthology movie Creepshow is being revived. The OG film told five stories, two of which were adapted from short stories written by King. King also wrote the rest of the film's stories, making his debut as a screenwriter. A new streaming service operated by AMC and dedicated solely to horror content entitled Shudder will be remaking Creepshow for a new generation. According to Hypebeast, both Kid Cudi and Big Boi will appear in the remake.
Cudi will star alongside actor Jeffrey Combs in the episode “Bad Wolf Down,” while Big Boi will appear in “The Man in the Suitcase” episode. The series showrunner Greg Nicotero, famous for running The Walking Dead, will direct an episode called “The Finger” starring DJ Qualls which was written by horror novelist David J. Schow.
