Creepshow III

Creepshow 3
Directed by	James Glenn Dudelson & Ana Clavell

Creepshow 3 (aka Creepshow III) is the second sequel to Stephen King & George A. Romero's 1982 horror anthology classic, "Creepshow." No one from the production of either Creepshow or Creepshow 2 (namely Stephen King and George Romero) were involved in the production of this film.

The film consists of five new tales of horror: "Alice", "The Radio", "Call Girl", "The Professor's Wife" & "Haunted Dog".

The original promotional poster for Creepshow 3. Although this early poster suggests four stories, the film itself actually features five, like the original Creepshow.

Alice

Alice is a stuck up teenager who comes home to find her father meddling with some kind of universal remote. Whenever he touches one of the buttons, the whole family besides Alice changes ethinity. While this is happening, Alice begins to mutate into what is supposedly her true form.

A scene from Creepshow 3's animated sequence that opens the film. The hotdog stand plays a part in most of the stories in the film.

Just when Alice thinks everything is back to normal, her father presses another button, revealing Alice's true form. Her family freaks out at the sight of Alice, and the story ends with Professor Dayton using another remote to turn Alice into a white bunny.

The Radio

Jerry is a part-time security guard who buys a radio from a homeless street vendor to replace his old one which stopped working. However this radio is far from ordinary. It can have a conversation with Jerry, and very soon Jerry is stealing money and murdering people, all at the bay of his new radio.

Alice's father (Detective Jacobs) also appears in this story.

Call Girl

Rachel is a murderous hooker who recieves a call from Victor, her newest client. Rachel thinks he will just be another easy victim, however Victor isn't quite normal himself....As she soon discovers.

The Professor's Wife

Professor Dayton, the crazy professor from Creepshow 3's fourth story, "The Professor's Wife".

Two former students come to visit Professor Dayton and meet his wife to be, Kathy. Having been victims of his practical jokes in the past, they suspect that Kathy is actually a robot, which the professor spent 20 years creating in his secret lab. She also behaves like a robot and does not eat or drink, which further indicates that she is probably mechanical. When the professor is out of bounds, they decide to dismantle Kathy to see what she looks like on the inside....

To their horror, they learn that Kathy really was a human after all. The professor later buys a voodoo book from the homeless vendor to put Kathy back together in time for their wedding.

Rachael the call girl appears briefly in this story.

Haunted Dog

The "Creepshow Creep" returns in Creepshow 3.

A cruel, miserly doctor takes a 30 day position at a clinic, where he is very insolent towards his patients, even going as far as to show no sympathy towards a teenage girl with a brain tumour. One day he buys a hot dog, but drops it on the ground. Out of kindness (or perhaps not) he decides to give it to a homeless man. The homeless guy dies after taking one bite, and he returns to haunt the cruel doctor. The story ends with the doctor having a heart attack from having had too many encounters with his ghostly stalker....

Victor from "The Call Girl" also appears in this segment. The homeless man can be heard muttering "Thanks for the good dog" which is no doubt meant to be an inside joke on the somewhat similar "Thanks for the ride, lady!" line from Creepshow 2's final story, "The Hitch-Hiker".

The film was released May 15, 2007 in the United States by HBO through their parent company Warner Home Video - however, the UK release of the film is still unconfirmed.

Creepshow 3 was backed by the Taurus Entertainment Company and directed by James Dudelson (director of Day of the Dead 2: Contagium) and his wife, Ana Clavell.
