‘Creepshow’ Gets Scare-Inducing Video Game Teaser at Indie Horror Showcase
George A. Romero’s CREEPSHOW films have always been a favorite of ours here at MacabreDaily and with Shudder’s revival of the series, (now in its fourth season) from Greg Nicotero Creepshow is at its height in popularity and deserving so. Now, that fun is about to cross over into the realm of video games with a new title based on the series arriving in 2024. During The Indie Horror Showcase presented by indie horror game studio and publisher DreadXP, a short teaser was played that invites viewers into the world of The Creep for some deliciously creepy scares.
The Creepshow game was originally announced just over a year ago as a partnership between AMC with Creepshow production company Cartel Entertainment and DreadXP. As such, there's some real heavyweight talent behind the project with The Mortuary Assistant developer Brian Clarke of DarkStone Digital on board as the game's creative director. In keeping with the anthology format of the series, the game, too, is constructed with a similar formula, albeit with multiple indie horror developers contributing instead of horror directors. Expect different genres of horror to be explored in self-contained levels or modes through various gameplay loops.
A lot of inspiration for the project came from DreadXP's medleys of mini horror games, the Dread X Collection series, meaning Creepshow could follow that path. If the series is any indication, the game should be a love letter to classic horror films and games alike.
The Creepshow video game is slated to release sometime in 2024 on multiple platforms. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on this campy and creepy adaptation and check out the teaser below for a brief look at the upcoming horror game.
