Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDaniel Beer, who played Randy in the segment "The Raft" almost died from hypothermia. The water was so cold his body turned green. The crew wanted him to continue acting, but Director Michael Gornick said if they get him to keep working, he will walk off the set and never return. So they took him to the hospital and he made a full recovery, and completed the segment of "The Raft."
- GoofsWhen Annie Lansing is looking out of the back of her car to see if the hitchhiker is still running behind her, he has disappeared but instead you can see a crewmember through the upper left corner of the car window.
- Quotes
The Hitchhiker: Thanks for the ride, lady!
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits are over the following text appears: "Juvenile delinquency is the product of pent-up frustrations, stored-up resentments and bottled-up fears. It is not the product of cartoons and captions. But the comics are a handy, obvious, uncomplicated scapegoat. If the adults who crusade against them would only get steamed up over such basic causes of delinquency as parental ignorance, indifference and cruelty, they might discover that comic books are no more then a menace than Treasure Island or Jack the Giant Killer". (Colliers Magazine, 1949).
- Alternate versionsWhen initially released to Blu-ray in Germany, it was heavily cut down by almost 10 minutes.

Featured review
Decent sequel
Where Creepshow 2 suffers is that it is not as good as the first movie. You would think that with three stories instead of five this time it would be less condensed. Unfortunately, that's not the case out of the three stories only the second one is all that interesting The first story Old chief wooden head tells the tale of a ma and pa couple who own a store with a cigar Indian who end up getting killed by robbers and the statue comes alive to avenge their deaths. It's a decent way to start a movie although you kind of question the hokey acting from the murderers. In the second storyline, the raft involves a bunch of friends going out in the middle of a lake. They are then pursued by a blob monster. This is the best out of the three stories. Most time spent on it is full of suspense, and Tension invested in wondering how these people are going to get away from this oil monster. In the third and final story, the hitchhiker has a businesswoman who is having an affair while rushing home to beat her husband's suspicions she runs someone over and is pursued by them unable to get away. This one is honestly the slowest & worst of the three it just goes on and on and gets to predict where the outcome is going to lead.
