Since I have a Trial of Shudder, I might as well get back to this Show.
Let's see the first half of how Season 2 began...
The battle between a fish man and Mummy is...Not real.
Oh, you tease.
A kid obsessed with Horror Movies and Model Kits is trying to live a normal life in 1972.
When his life changes due to family trauma, will he be able to adjust to a new pair of people raising him?
...or will he turn his obsession into a tool for good? Well, good for him...not so much for the other guy.

To find out, stream the Episode now.
A strong opener, all things considered. Creepshow Stories should have a few things. It needs some sort of creature. Big check. It needs a Protagonist(s) that you can and should root for. Check. It needs someone who you should want to be punished. Yep, got that too. The basic gimmick here- kid really into Horror Film Model Kits uses it to get revenge is a solid one. I do have to ask- did this need to be in 1972? Maybe the Company that made the Kits wasn't a thing later. Maybe the idea that people buy Model Kits is a '1970s thing?' Regardless, the Period Piece aspect adds nothing. It also subtracts nothing, to be fair. The creature work is obviously the big draw here. It's great- no question. I don't really have any complaints here, so, I guess, look for more of these soon...
