Creepshow 2 is divided into three stories, conducted by a leading segment where a boy that loves the horror comic book Creepshow buys seeds of carnivorous plant and is bullied by four teenagers.
Meanwhile the Creep tells the tales of Creepshow: (1) Old Chief Wood'nhead - The elders Ray (George Kennedy) and Martha Spruce (Dorothy Lamour) have lived their whole life and raised their family with their small store in an Arizona town.
Now the town is economically decadent and Ray gives credit to his costumers including the Indians of Ben Whitemoon's tribe.
When Ray is repairing the wooden statue of an old chief in the front door, Ben (Frank Salsedo) arrives and asks him to keep the jewels of his tribe as a guarantee for their debts.
However, Ben's nephew Sam (Holt McCallany) unexpectedly arrives with two other punks to steal Ray, and he kills the elders.
They expect to travel to Hollywood, but the Old Chief Wood'nhead will not let them go.
(2) The Raft - The teenagers Deke (Paul Satterfield) and Randy (Daniel Beer) travel with Laverne (Jeremy Green) and Rachel (Page Hannah) to a lake expecting to smoke weed, swim and get laid.
They swim to a raft that is floating in the middle of the lake, but they discover a carnivorous blob in the lake that is hungry.
(3) The Hitchhiker - In Maine, the unfaithful Annie Lansing (Lois Chiles) stays too long having sex with her escort and is late to meet her husband in the airport.
She drives her Mercedes Bens in a hurry and loses control on the road.
Annie runs over a hitchhiker, but she does not help the man and hit-and-run, questioning whether she can live with the situation.
She discovers that the hitchhiker will not leave her.

And by that I don't mean the nightmares you'll get from watching this - I mean the nightmares you'll have from imagining the possibility of a CREEPSHOW 3! (Wait a minute...
Three comic book stories are told to us by the devilish Creep. This time, we have a story about a Native American wooden statue that comes to life and kills anyone who threatens its owners, a raft that's the only safe place from a murderous oil slick in a river, and an undead hitchhiker who haunts the wealthy woman who accidentally ran him over.
It's the sequel to the anthology series by Stephen King and George A. Romero.
A weak sequel directed by the first film's cinematographer and written by George Romero, based on stories by Stephen King. This anthology features three stories plus a linking story.
This cheesy comedy horror sequel is worth a laugh or two if you're in the right silly mood...but it's far from being a good movie.
This is pure fun for a horror movie fan! You don't watch this one to be scared, rather to enjoy yourself, as we are presented with 3 tales, again, told in style of the old "EC Comics".
The first Creepshow is really good but Creepshow 2 is even better. The additional voice acted cartoon segments tie the anthology chapters together.
Just recently watched this in a small group to see how the film stands 34 years later. This is when you would get at least something good even if it was low or small budget back then, not like today where a majority of horror lacks good story, acting, and visuals.
