It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like CREEPSHOW

Killer Cast Announced for Creepshow‘s Adaptation of Stephen King Story “Grey Matter”

Big news broke today out of Shudder’s Creepshow H.Q. in Atlanta:

• The series premiere will include an adaptation of a gnarly Stephen story, “Grey Matter,” from his 1978 collection, Night Shift.
• It will be directed by showrunner Greg Nicotero.
• The cast will include Adrienne Barbeau—returning to the franchise after playing Wilma “Just Call Me Billie” Northrup in “The Crate”—Better Call Saul‘s Giancarlo Esposito, and Saw‘s Tobin Bell.

“I feel I’m in great company getting the opportunity to direct a story written by Steve. Between Salem’s Lot, Pet Sematary and The Stand, I’ve always found his stories rich in relatable characters forced into supernatural situations beyond their control—the everyday person’s primal fears.  To visualize ‘Gray Matter’ for Creepshow with the help of Adrienne, Giancarlo and Tobin was about as good as it gets for a horror fan from Pittsburgh!” — Greg Nicotero

“I was thrilled when Greg asked me to join the Creepshow world once again. And then working with Tobin and Giancarlo, with Greg as our director, well, that was the icing on the cake — no, not that cake. Oh, you know what I mean.” — Adrienne Barbeau
