New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Skincrawlers'

 Another week and another freaky tale from an issue of...

In this Segment, we learn that beauty is more than just skin deep.  It is what wriggles under it that matters...

A group of people who have a trouble with their weight come to see Dr. Sloan.  His miracle cure is...odd.

Dana Gould's 'everyman' doesn't agree to try it, but changes his mind when he see that it works!

Things come to a head as he agrees to appear with the Doctor on a Morning News Show.

Will the other breaking news play a factor?

Things get all sorts of crazy and lots of blood is spilled.  I don't want to ruing things, so no SPOILERS.

To find out, stream this on Shudder or watch the DVD.

Another freaky and fun Segment.  This one features a relatable idea- wanting to lose weight, but not being willing to put in the work.  It is easy to see that people would take a shortcut like they do here.  Would they worry about the possible side-effects?  Hell no.  Remember, people have died from drinking bleach to protect against COVID-19.  Gould makes a good Lead here, as you feel for him.  He's clearly flawed- he's not exactly trying to get better- but he's also not willing to do the crazy thing Sloan says is the cure-all he needs.  Well, not at first.  If you saw what he saw, wouldn't you?  Without SPOILing things, I will say that I got a real Sam Raimi vibe with this one.  There's lots of practical effects and blood on display here.  They use their effects sparingly to get the maximum effect from them.  The same Director from the 'Lydia Lane' Segment is here again, so good for her.  The twist for the finale is telegraphed with all of the subtlety of a shotgun blast to the face, but why not?  You're already sold by then and want to see the insanity that plays out.  For fans of tongue-in-cheek Horror and Gore, this is a must-see.  Just ask them...

Next time, we see the other half of the Episode.  Tom Savini is behind the Camera, so yea.  See you then...
