Shudder-day: Creepshow- 'Something Borrowed, Something Blue/Doodles'

 Another Week and we're now 1 Episode away from the Finale.

Let's look at two more Segments on...

In Something Borrowed, Something Blue, an old man (Tom Atkins) tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter (after 15 years).

She wants nothing to do with him though.

He explains to her Fiancée that they will inherit everything upon his death...but he has a very strange task that he must do.

He agrees...but can he go through with it?
Of course, it is Creepshow, so it is not that simple.

What else will happen?

In Doodles, a young woman in Seattle is trying to make it big as a Cartoonist.

However, fate (and people) seem to be against her.
A drawing she makes seems to correlate to the death of a person who wronged her.

Is it a coincidence or something more?

What will she do with this information?
To find out, stream the Episode now.

A pair of pretty simple, but good Segments.  Not much to complain about, yet again.  I know people tend to prefer angry, ranting Reviews...but I don't have one here.

The first Segment has Tom Atkins and it doesn't feature Robots made by Druids-5 Stars.  Joking aside, he does a good job of being sincere at some points, stern at others and kind of evil at others still.  It is the kind of subtle range you get when you cast someone with his level of experience.

The rest of the Cast does a good job too.  At most I'll complain about how the Budget doesn't really allow for you to see the creature which the Story relates to.  I'm sure others will be happy with the tease alone and that's fine too.

Doodles is also fun, if a bit one-note.  It is one of those 'Who is the good guy' Stories (which admittedly, comes up a bit in the last one too) that I'm not always fond of.  Our Heroine is definitely in the wrong by the end...but she was also wronged too.

I definitely have questions about how this all works in regards to her drawings.  This kind of short is obviously NOT the place you are going to get it.  I understand- even if I have so many, MANY questions.

In summary, two good Segments.  Have a drink now to celebrate!

One final Episode to go.  Will they go out strong?
