Creepshow 2, 1987

With more budget, talent, and running time (and if, alas, the "Pinfall" segment had been included), the this could have stood on a par with the first installment. As it happens, it's an inferior successor, but really entertaining. Tom Savini is great fun as the Creep (who takes a more active role as narrator here), although the animated sequences he's in go on far too long. Of the three installments, only the last two are scary (the first is probably the most Romero-esque in its themes and direction, but the ending is rushed and anticlimactic). The Hitch-Hiker segment is good but the pacing is very much off; only The Raft hits the nail on the head in terms of horror.
