Shudder has wrapped filming on the premiere episode of their new original series “Creepshow”, inspired by the movie of the same name. SFX legend Greg Nicotero shared the news via Instagram along with the first official image. The ghastly figure lurking just outside a window is a nod to the original film’s cover.
