Laurel Entertainment and cinematographer Michael Gornick (DAWN OF THE DEAD) follows up George Romero's CREEPSHOW, a Stephen King-scripted anthology homage to EC Comics with Romero-scripted New World Pictures quickie sequel consisting of three stories in order of worst to best. "Old Chief Wood'nhead" is the cigar store Indian statue outside economically depressed ghost town Dead River's general store run by the kindly Spruces (DEATH SHIP's George Kennedy and THE HURRICANE's Dorothy Lamour). While tribal elder Benjamin Whitemoon (Frank Salsedo, THE GHOST DANCE) has gifted the couple turquoise jewelry towards the tribe's debts, his nephew Sam (Holt McCallany, JADE) and two local troublemakers (GIRLS NIGHT OUT's David Holbrook and THE RELIC's Don Harvey) have decided to rob the store to fund their getaway to Hollywood where vain Sam hopes to become a star. When the trio kill the elderly couple and take off with their spoils, bow- and tomahawk-wielding Old Chief Wood'nhead steps off his tree stump pedestal to avenge them. While seemingly an idea scenario for an EC Comic tale of supernatural revenge, the pacing of the episode is seriously off with an inordinate amount of time spent establishing the two innocent victims before rushing through the comeuppances of the three killers (all intercut with a TV broadcast of a stereotypical black and white cowboys vs Indians western). A step up from the first tale is "The Raft" (from King's anthology Skeleton Crew and seemingly a homage to Joseph Payne Brennan's "Slime") in which high school grads Deke (GENERAL HOSPITAL's Paul Satterfield), Laverne (Jeremy Green), Randy (Daniel Beer, POINT BREAK), and Rachel (Page Hannah, SHAG) party at a desolate desert lake. Swimming out to a raft in the middle of the water, they soon find themselves trapped by a flesh-eating oil slick. While the effects are suitably grisly, the character dynamics of the King source story are barely explored (they were to better effect in Larry Fessenden's otherwise forgettable BENEATH in which five teenagers were trapped in a stalled boat in the middle of a lake by a giant prehistoric fish). The best of the lot is saved for last, a variation on the Twilight Zone episode "The Hitchhiker" as unfaithful wife Anne Lansing (Lois Chiles, MOONRAKER) oversleeps after a tryst with an escort (David Beecroft, SHADOWZONE) and rushes home to avoid suspicion from her husband. Distracted, she accidentally runs down a hitcher (Tom Wright, BARBERSHOP) but speeds off when she realizes there were no witnesses only to encounter the same hitcher along every turn of the road. No matter how many times she runs him down, he refuses to stay dead ("Thanks for the ride, lady!"). The question of whether the hitcher is a manifestation of her guilty conscience is moot; this episode is simply a blast thanks to an engaging performance by Chiles in a virtual one woman show ("You're seeing things, bitch"), going from terrorized to furious as the hitcher pops up as an increasingly ragged K.N.B. Efx Group animatronic. Viewers more familiar with the film from its television airings (the New World titles were in heavy rotation on television in the nineties) will be pleasantly surprised at the added gore but it does not result in a better film.
