The crypt has closed on one of Shudder’s most popular and spine-chilling original series. The macabre anthology show “Creepshow“ has officially ended its run, with a source close to the network confirming that there are no plans for a fifth season. This news brings to a close a successful four-season journey that paid homage to the horror genre’s classic roots.
A Scary Good Series
Launched in 2019 by effects legend Greg Nicotero, the series brought the terrifying vignettes of a living comic book to life. Inspired by George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 film, “Creepshow” explored a variety of terrors, from murder and creatures to the supernatural and unexplainable. Over its run, the show delivered 23 chilling episodes and two specials. While the conclusion is a sad moment for fans, reports indicate that the series was always intended to have a four-season arc, making this more of a planned finale than a cancellation.
The series included original stories and adapted tales from authors like Nicotero himself, Stephen King, Joe Hill, Rob Schrab, Heather Anne Campbell, Dana Gould, and more. Some of the amazing directors included Nicotero, Joe Lynch, John Harrison, Roxanne Benjamin, and David Bruckner.
