It's a "limited release" with only 100 copies, likely hideously
expensive, but I wonder how many people still have access to a VHS
player anyway. (I do, maybe two players, but I'm not even romotely
interested in Creepshow.)

'Creepshow' Holiday Specials Get Chilling
Retro VHS Release For Halloween
-----------------------------------------

- Creepshow's Holiday Specials are getting an official VHS release,
which will include "A Creepshow Animated Special" and
"A Creepshow Holiday Special."

- The VHS release will have two variant slipcases, one of which is
limited to only 100 pieces and features a flip-open cover.

- Shudder's support of physical media and the nostalgic appeal of
VHS make it exciting for horror fans to revisit these two
Creepshow episodes in this new but vintage way.

October has been full of new horror releases, both on streaming and
in theaters. This has included the return of Creepshow. The popular
anthology series debuted its fourth season on Shudder this past
Friday the 13th to a ton of critical praise. Based on the film
franchise of the same name, it has been one of the best horror
series on the market since it started haunting our TVs in 2019. Now,
just in time for Halloween, Creepshow's two Holiday Specials are
getting an official VHS release.

Produced by Broke Horror Fan and Witter Entertainment, this VHS
special edition comes with "A Creepshow Animated Special" which
served as the series Halloween celebration and the Christmas themed
"A Creepshow Holiday Special". The Animated Special had segments
based on short stories by Stephen King and Joe Hill that starred
Kiefer Sutherland and Joey King. The latter of which modern horror
fans will know from The Conjuring. The Holiday Special on the other
hand was in live-action like the rest of the show and starred
Adam Pally and Anna Camp. The actress also recently starred in the
Shudder psychological thriller From Black. In addition, this VHS
release will have two variant slipcases with one of them being a
book box edition featuring a flip-open cover. That particular
edition is limited to only 100 pieces.

While the original trilogy of films is beloved by most horror fans
that grew up in the 80s, the series created by The Walking Dead's
Greg Nicotero takes the horror comic book inspired anthology
premise to another level with each season out doing the last. From
grotesque monster stories to dark tales of obsession, Creepshow is
a must-watch for every horror fan. Every episode is a who's-who of
horror with stories featuring legends like Barbara Crampton,
Tom Atkins, Keith David, and Justin Long. However, behind all the
brilliant practical makeup effects and stellar casting, each tall
horror tale presents a fresh twisted take on what the genre can be
rather than what it currently is. The series in its four seasons
thus far has kept horror fans on their toes which is a rare feeling
in today's franchise landscape. In particular, "A Creepshow Holiday
Special" is one of the series' best episodes blending a hilarious
horror comedy creature feature with a Christmas slasher perfectly.

When Will the 'Creepshow' Specials Release on VHS?
One of the best aspects of Shudder is they remain one of the few
streamers that support physical media. Every season of Creepshow
has come to or is about to come to Blu-ray while their great
original films like Host, Revenge, and Watcher have all found a
second life on Blu-ray. It's also great to have options with VHS
making a bit of a comeback recently. There's just something so

nostalgic about the format that makes people who grew up on VHS
just smile. Horror's especially perfect for the format given that
the 80s physical media boom was run by the genre. That's why it'll
be exciting for horror fans to revisit these two Creepshow episodes
in this new but vintage way.

Creepshow's Holiday Specials VHS will be made available for
pre-order on Thursday, October 26 at 12 PM ET. Until then, you can
watch the trailer for "A Creepshow Holiday Special" down below. All
four seasons of Creepshow are currently streaming on Shudder.
