Pre-Owned Creepshow 2

THREE TALES OF HORROR: A HIT AND RUN DRIVER IN THE HITCHHIKER A WOODEN INDIAN ON THE WARPATH IN OL' CHIEF WOODENHEAD & FOUR FRIENDS WHOSE VACATION ON A SECLUDED LAKE TURNS INTO ANIGHTMARE IN THE RAFT. FEATURES: WIDESCREEN, THEATRICAL TRAILER, PHOTO GALLERY.What is it about hitchhikers that makes them such a sure-fire bet for horror? This question is addressed in the final segment ofCreepshow 2, another Stephen King-George Romero collaboration. "The Hitchhiker" is the simplest and best of the three tales on display here, with Lois Chiles as a cheating wife who just can't seem to get rid of a hitchhiker... no matter how hard she tries. The collection gets off to a slow start with "Old Chief Wood'n Head," a sleepy story of Native American justice. "The Raft" is a passable teens-in-peril number, but it worked better on the page than on screen. Romero adapted the King stories but emphatically did not direct, which accounts for the drop-off from the kicky fun of the firstCreepshow. King appears as a dimwitted truck driver--a foreshadowing ofMaximum Overdrive? In any case, this one's for diehard fans only.--Robert Horton
