Just Desserts: The Making Of Creepshow

The documentary was good. I did expect a little bit better. Could have dug in deeper with more interviews and the special effects. Kind of feels like a grad student did this documentary. If your not paying much or if you can see it for free DO IT

Nice documentary about one for the most fun movies out there. Sure wish Stephen King made an appearance. 👍🏼

I was close to giving this four stars based on the extremely entertaining and informative interviews with much of the cast and crew of this comic horror classic. The only big thing dragging it down is WAY too much time wasted interviewing an aging, balding 3rd tier grip in a ponytail (think The Simpson's Comic Book Shop Guy) who had next to nothing to do with the movie (and is seated next to a large buddah sculpture for whatever reason). My only other negative comment (admittedly minor) is the interview with a decidedly jerkish Ed Harris. Yes, Ed, I know you went on to many an A-picture after "lowering yourself" to work with Romero, but either give a straight, respectful interview or don't even bother.

My expectations were pretty high for this release.I was spoiled with such fantastic horror docs as Never Sleep Again, Crystal Lake Memories, and More Brains: A Return to the Living Dead. Those docs included all aspects of script, filming, distribution, advertising, release, and legacy. Very entertaining if you grew up with those films.While Just Desserts was thoroughly entertaining and likely the best (and only) Creepshow doc we'll get, it left me wanting more. For starters, it differed in style to the Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th docs. Those films highlighted each effort individually. Just Desserts is kind of all over the map. Rather than focus on each of the five stories, they organize chapters by special effects, style, location, etc. It's just not as coherent, but still enlightening.The interviews are also lacking. While NSA and CLM interviewed basically everybody but the caterer, Just Desserts focuses mostly on George Romero, Tom Savini and a few key production staff. Stephen King is sorely missed, but listening to Tom Savini is always a treat. No tales of behind the scenes drama or production problems (other than budget). The interview with Ed Harris was funny because he's clearly uncomfortable with his infamous dancing performance. Hearing how they imported thousands of cockroaches from Trinidad was the highlight.Overall, I enjoyed the doc. I wanted more, but with much of the cast gone or moved on, this is the best we can hope to get. Recommended.

Right up front it's necessary to know that Stephen King isn't part of this documentary. So, if you're interested in his insights about Creepshow, you won't find it here. Otherwise, this is a terrifically vintage and enlightening look into the making of, possibly, the best horror anthology movie of the 1980s. George Romero and Tom Savini and a host of others (from actors to grips to camera operators) talk about the inception and creation of 1982's love letter to E.C. Comics. Romero and Savini are extremely entertaining as they talk about the different segments of the movie and what it took to bring them to the screen. I think Romero talking about the cockroaches used for the movie's final segment, "They're Creeping Up On You" is hilarious. Pay special attention to the part about cockroaches and the telephone. As a character in Vault of Horror (or Creepshow, itself) might yell, "Aaaaiiiieeee." This whole documentary is filled with enthusiastic people talking about a project they clearly loved doing. That kind of love showed in 1982 and it still shows now. The best part of all is all the behind scenes footage. From cockroach wranglers trying to do the impossible (wrangle cockroaches) to Savini putting together some of the most iconic makeup jobs of the 80s, Just Desserts is the perfect supplement to your 20th viewing of Creepshow.

Let me start off by saying, this is a great documentary about the making of Creepshow. I feel like we really had no good supplemental material with the DVD and Blu-Ray copies of the film. This more than makes up for that! George A. Romero and tom Savini both have large parts in making this thing as good as it is. There were also several interviews with some other members of the cast and crew (grips and all). The thing I'm a bit disappointed in, however, is - why couldn't they get Stephen King to talk to them? He may just not be interested in this anymore, but his insight would have been the cherry on top. I have no doubt this would be a 5 star release for me. We will settle at 4 though. I will say - if you're a fan of Creepshow at all...you should definitely buy this! It's well worth your money.

Imprescindible para el coleccionista de terror.

A must for any fan of Creepshow!
