AMC Networks is bringing us more scares courtesy of The Creep. Shudder’s beloved horror anthology seriesCreepshowhas been renewed for a fourth season as part of a slew of renewals includingKin,My Life is Murder,Bloodlands, andLondon Killsalong with a new addition to theSlasherfranchise inSlasher: Ripper. Season 3 of the horrifying cavalcade of tales wrapped up back in October.
Creepshowtakes its cues fromGeorge Romero’s horror-comedy classic of the same name, acting as a follow-up to that film. The series is hosted by the equally terrifying and comedic Creep who delivers vignettes to the audience while providing some gags in-between. Each episode contains two stories that explore everything from murder, monsters, creatures, and delusions to the supernatural and unexplainable. These tales can range from the macabre and truly terrifying to campy B horror in an homage to all things within the genre. The show and movie are both uniquely stylized as well, taking the tales fromCreepshowcomic books and structuring stories like a typical comic.
The series hails from horror and SFX veteranGreg Nicoterowho acts as a sort of spiritual successor to the legendaryTom Saviniwho provided effects for Romero’s original film. Nicotero also executive produces alongsideStan Spry,Jeff Holland, andEric Woodsfor the Cartel,Brian Wittenfor Monster Agency Productions,Robert Dudelson,James Dudelson,andJordan Kizwanifor Taurus Entertainment, andRussell Binderfor Striker Entertainment.
