 
The child named Billy (Domenick John)
returns as he buys another Creepshow
comic book presented by the Creep (Tom
Savini).
He buys some buds which are supposed to
turn into human giant eating plants to
get even with his tormentors.
While he plans this the Creep introduces
3 chapters.
The first one
is titled Old Chief
Wood'nhead of a wooden
Indian statue standing at a corner store
that has a special power to come to life
after two store owners are killed by a
bunch of smugglers and seeks revenge on
them.
The second
chapter is titled The
Raft of a group of
teens deciding to hang out at a deserted
lake swimming to a raft and find out that
there's a deadly black blob around the
lake that kills them off one by one and
there's only one survivor left named
Randy (Daniel Beer). Can he swim back to
shore?
The third
chapter is titled The
Hitchhiker of a rich
woman named Annie Lansing (Lois Chiles)
who has an affair with a male prostitute.
When she drives home she accidentally
runs over a hitchhiker but doesn't report
it.
Suddenly when she keeps driving the
Hitchhiker (Tom Wright) keeps popping up
saying "Thanks for the ride
lady" leading her to her death.
I enjoyed this one a little better than
the first as it had a better plot in each
of them I found.
Plus the stories were a little darker.
My favourite out of all of them was The
Raft as it was suspenseful all
the way.
The Hitchhiker was sooo
bizarre I must tell you and it teaches
you a lesson what happens on a hit and
run event like that especially being
unfaithful to your married one.
The acting is good
just like in the first one.
George Kennedy always delivers
as I've never seen him do a bad
performance.
Lois Chiles does well in her
role as well.
This time Stephen King took on a
cameo than the last time.
There is a breast
shot in The Raft as
someone lifts up her top while sleeping.
People are
murdered by the Old Chief
WoodnHead as he shoots an arrow
through someones head and offscreen he
takes someones scalp.
In the Raft chapter
there are gruesome murders as the blob
eats the teens showing their skin ripped
off etc.
In the Hitchhiker the
person is run over in a gruesome way and
when his corpse appears he looks very
gruesome.
The directing by George
A. Romero is great in this one too
as his direction is very different than
in the first one.
He did a great job directing the cast who
played gangsters in Old Chief
Woodnhead as well as making the
lake look eerie in the Raft.
He does well directing both Jeremy
Green and Daniel Beer being stranded
on the raft freaking out and acting
scared.
A perfect ending shot on Beer
after swimming ashore and the stuff
rising above him.
Also good shots in the Hitchhiker
on Tom Wright standing in front
of the window of a car acting freaky and Lois
Chiles going nuts trying to get rid
of him and directs her acting hysterical
too throughout this piece.
We have music composed by Les
Reed with additional music by Rick
Wakeman from the band Yes
as he composed the keyboard playing for
the Raft which is
excellent spooky sounding and very dark.
We also have the original
theme song from the composer John
Harrison which sounds just as
effective for this sequel.
Deke:
I feel the need, the need... for WEED!
Rachel:
[being consumed by a slime monster]
Help! It hurts! It hurts!
Randy:
It looked like it was going after the
girls!
Deke: Aw, come on man, I thought
you said you sobered up!
Randy: It looked like it was going
after the girls!
Randy:
[after making it ashore] I...
beat... you. I BEAT YOU!
The
Hitchhiker: Thanks for the ride,
lady!
