Hot on the heels of yesterday’s news that Matt Venne is writing an episode of Creepshow, now comes word on another new addition for this hotly anticipated series.
Via Production Weekly, horror novelist Christopher Buehlman has been brought in to write an episode titled The Man in the Suitcase.
The early blurb on said episode reads:
19-year-old Justin brings home the wrong suitcase from the airport, and inside the suitcase is a Man with a terrible problem.
What we know so far about Shudder’s new take on Creepshow is that the first episode will be based on Stephen King’s Survivor Type tale, with showrunner Greg Nicotero directing that first outing. After that, the aforementioned Venne is adapting 1995’s The Companion story, while Rob Schrab is helming the World War II-set Bad Wolf Down.
The current plan is for each episode of Creepshow to be overseen by a different director, with Nicotero and his team looking to capture the charm of George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 anthology movie that pulled so much from the legendary EC Comics of decades gone by.
As ever, expect more on Creepshow as we get it.
