Acclaimed horror writer Joe Hill recently spoke about how Creepshow influenced his work in an interview with SkyBound.Hill, the son of legendary author Stephen King, appeared in 1982’s Creepshow as the boy in the anthology film’s opening and closing segments. Hill believes that being on set for the film and seeing some of the special effects makeup helped spark his creative writing. “[T]here’s something that begins there with my childhood friendship with [makeup artist] Tom Savini, that then passes into becoming a comic reader in my teenage years, who was almost exclusively fascinated by horror comics and loved horror films,” he said in the interview with SkyBound. As an adult, his short stories received a TV adaptation, Shudder’s Creepshow, with Hill attributing the works that inspired the original film as also influencing his writing. “My dad had hardcover collections of all the [EC Comics] books. He had Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, Two-Fisted Tales. I think I encoded some ideas about how a short horror story is supposed to work from repeated readings of those hardcovers.”Hill also spoke about his upcoming Creepshow one-shot comic adaptation of Wolverton Station which will release on March 27, 2024. Made for comics by Jason Ciaramella, with art by Michael Walsh, Hill praised Ciaramella, saying, “It’s a pleasure to have a hand in Wolverton Station, which was adapted by Jason Ciaramella, who is a terrific comic writer. A guy who literally was nominated for an Eisner Award with his first ever comic.”Skybound Gets in the Christmas Mood With a Preview of Creepshow’s Holiday Special
