Creepshow series casts Adrienne Barbeau, Tobin Bell, and Giancarlo Esposito!!


It’s been confirmed that Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), Tobin Bell (Saw), and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) will be starring in Shudder’s Creepshow in an episode called “Gray Matter”, which is based on a story by Stephen King and is directed by Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead).

“In “Gray Matter,” Doc and Chief, two old-timers in a small, dying town, brave a storm to check on Richie, an alcoholic single father, after encountering his terrified son at the local convenience store. The story, first published in 1973, is part of King’s best-selling 1978 collection, Night Shift.“

Barbeau said: “I was thrilled when Greg asked me to join the Creepshow world once again,” “And then working with Tobin and Giancarlo, with Greg as our director, well, that was the icing on the cake — no, not that cake. Oh, you know what I mean.”

.

Shudder’s Creepshow will be a six-episode season. Some segments include:  “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain” by Joe Hill, “House of the Head” by Josh Malerman (Bird Box), “The Companion” by Joe Lansdale, “The Man in the Suitcase” by Christopher Buehlman, “All Hallows Eve” by Bruce Jones, “Night of the Paw” by John Esposito, and “Bad Wolf Down” by Rob Schrab. Additional titles and casting will be announced soon. The series is scheduled to wrap production later this week in Atlanta, GA.
