Shudder Day: Creepshow- 'Meet the Belaskos' and 'Cheat Code'

 Another Episode of Creepshow is on the menu.

At this rate, Season 5 will be out by the time I finish this if I keep to the '1 Segment a Week' plan.

Let's do the whole Episode then.

In Meet the Belaskos, a family of Vampires moves into a 'mixed community.'

Their nature is not a secret, which their upset neighbor is all to aware of.
Their Daughter and the Neighbor's Son fall in love.

This love can't last, so see what twists and turns will come their way.


In Cheat Code, a Father tries to connect with his Son in the wake of his Mom's death.
By the way, we're two for two with dead Wives, as the Neighbor's Wife was also dead.

His Son is a gamer, so he tries to bond with him over a Not-Atari game called Weird Wednesday.
This Game- which is a juiced up version of Paperboy- is supposedly cursed.

Does that explain where their friend went?

To find out the full secret of the game, stream the Episode now.
A pair of very different, but good Segments.

The first one has a nice story twist on the Vampire Clan/Family Story.  Seeing a normal looking Suburban Family that just happens to be Vampires is neat.
The fact that the humans are the bad guys here is not the most unique twist, but is still different enough to help.

Thankfully, we get some great Vampire action to really seal the deal.

The second Segment is super sketchy as far as this being an Atari game.  It's clearly a game more in the vein of modern 8-bit games.

That said, the Story itself is fun, really playing with the Video Game story.  The actual Story is nothing special, but I had fun.  Random Lochlyn Monroe sightings are always fun.

They do a good job with the silly Plot here and I'm all in.

Definitely check these one out, especially for this Stephen King reference.

Two very different Stories, but I enjoyed them both.  You will too...or else!
