Generally when a film series hits the trilogy mark, the series can either keep going or die painfully. A lot of film series end in trilogies and there are a lot that should have.

So when I heard they were making another entry in one of my favorite anthology series, 20 years after the 2ND one came out and also being done by the same team that brought us the atrocious Day of the Dead 2: Contagium (I still cannot get over the fact they made up their own word in that title), I was more than a bit concerned.

A lot of people dislike Creepshow 2 and dismiss it as an unnecessary sequel, as an unnecessary film overall in some cases, me I love it. It was the first of the two I saw when I was younger and it scared the ever loving hell out of me. I'm not a big swimmer and at the time was just getting used to the water so seeing one of the entries involving what looked like an ordinary black tarp, a lot like the one in my own pool, eating people - I suddenly became petrified of the water.
