But if you like Creepshow definitely check out the Trick R Treat film, It went straight to DVD I think but its very good if like that sort of thing.Daniel Sperrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371394868639726531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009030164560299615.post-91711197588554769042010-08-16T08:44:49.711+01:002010-08-16T08:44:49.711+01:00How funny - I was watching The Raft segment a few ...How funny - I was watching The Raft segment a few days back - the acting is SOOOO bad, but it's still impressively nasty - with a fun pay-off.

Has a very good segment called The Raft which deals with some type of sea monster<br /><br />Trick R Treat <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jh0DwJZjz8 <br /><br />Similar storytelling style and feel to Creepshow 2 In the fact that its a bunch of different stories, but in this one the stories interconnect at some points. Its a good film worth a watch.<br /><br />Invader Zim - Fish in a bear suit<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj41TivSTCg<br /><br />Just becauseDaniel Sperrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371394868639726531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009030164560299615.post-55025736360502958632010-08-15T22:34:30.561+01:002010-08-15T22:34:30.561+01:00@ Dan - indeed; Guy N Smith was a complete hack - ...@ Dan - indeed; Guy N Smith was a complete hack - the equivalent, I suppose of Sharktopus - pulp, lurid stories; definitely check out John Halkin's 'literature' - <br /><br />http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/john-halkin/slime.htm<br /><br />'Slime' was about a plague of killer jellyfish...<br /><br />meanwhile, in a movie entitled 'Squirm'...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyTpkR2cwLotutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009030164560299615.post-64847780913035912782010-08-15T19:56:57.494+01:002010-08-15T19:56:57.494+01:00I just did a google search of this Guy N.

Smith, who wrote books about giant killer crabs and loads of natural nasties. I used to go into WH Smith on Saturday mornings and gawk at all the gruesome cover art and think 'wow' - http://www.guynsmith.com/<br /><br />Just do an image search for 'Guy N.
