As Greg Nicotero continues to develop a Creepshow series for Shudder, now comes some more new details on the show.

Courtesy of Production Weekly, Matt Verne has been brought in to write an episode titled The Companion. Verne himself is best known for his work on the likes of Bag of Bones and Acts of Vengeance, while The Companion is to be based on a 1995 short story from Joe R. Lansdale, Kasey Jo Lansdale and Keith Lansdale.

The blurb on this tale reads:

13-year-old Harold decides to explore the long-abandoned farm of the late Raymond Brenner, and finds that he’s got a new Companion: a murderous, indestructible scarecrow.

So far, the other information that we have on Creepshow is that Nicotero himself will be directing the first episode; an episode based on Stephen King’s Survivor Type in which a shipwrecked fella finds himself doing unthinkable things to survive. Similarly, Monster House’s Rob Schrab is to tackle a World War II-set supernatural episode titled Bad Wolf Down.

Each and every episode will tell a different story, with a different directing helming each outing for this hugely anticipated small-screen take on this beloved property.
