New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Model Kid!'

 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...

Next time, the other half of the Episode that got so much hype upon its original release.  Is it that good? See you then...
