New Streaming: Creepshow- 'Public Television of the Dead'

 For all of the love the first part got, the lion's share went to this one.  Let's see why...

At a local Not PBS Station, we see that a group of Shows are being taped.

One is based on Lamb Chop's Play-Along.
Another is based on The Joy of Painting.

The final is based on Antiques Road Show, where a famous guy shows up to sell an old heirloom.
Unfortunately, it's the Necronomicon and, well, things go poorly.
Can Not Bob Ross save the day?

Will the Deadites win without Ash around?
Or are things too far gone to stop the evil infection from spreading across, well, a small, regional market?

To find out, stream the second half of the Episode now.
You still do that, right?
A fun, bloody affair.  The whole Episode is definitely a love letter to- of all things- PBS.  We get a fun riff on Bob Ross.  In this one, he's a Hero with a dark past that rises to the occasion.  We get a weird riff on Sherry Lewis and Lamb Chop.  It's a more obvious joke- she's mean and curses- but it's still fun.  She's obviously there to have bad things happen to him.  Likewise, Ted Raimi is here.  You know what that means.  This is a Greg Nicotero Segment, so you know what to expect here.  The make-up work is great- see below- and they really capture the Evil Dead feel.  This is a nice love letter to those Films and their style.  There's not much more here than a crazy good time.  Do you need more?  Nah.  Now let me put my face on for tomorrow...

Next up, they ruin Bed and Breakfasts for everyone.  You know, besides all of the stuff you already don't like about them.  See you then...
