What happens

Creepshow 2 is a 1987 American comedy horror anthology film directed by Michael Gornick, and the sequel to Creepshow. Gornick was previously the cinematographer of the first film, and the screenplay was written by George A. Romero who was director of the original film. It consists of three story segments and an animated wraparound. Like the first film, the segments are based on stories written by Stephen King. The film's ensemble cast features Lois Chiles, George Kennedy, Dorothy Lamour, Tom Savini, and Holt McCallany (in his film debut), and features Stephen King in a cameo appearance. Creepshow 2 was released by New World Pictures on 1 May 1987. It received mixed critical reviews, but was a commercial success. A sequel without Romero or King's involvement, Creepshow 3, was released in 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
