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. James Dudelson, the original rights holder to the "Creepshow" franchise, co-directed Creepshow 3, and that is the only real tie it has to the original two installments.
The film consists of five new tales of horror: "Alice", "The Radio", "Call Girl", "The Professor's Wife" & "Haunted Dog".
Alice
Alice is a stuck-up, snotty teenager who comes home to find her father meddling with some kind of universal remote. Whenever he presses one of the buttons on the device, the whole family besides Alice changes ethnicity (ie. the "Color and Hue Settings" button makes her family turn African-American, and the "Subtitles" button makes her family turn Hispanic). During this, Alice gradually mutates into what is supposedly her "true form".
Just when Alice thinks everything is back to normal, her father presses another button, revealing Alice's true form. Her family is absolutely horrified at the sight of Alice, and the story ends with Professor Dayton, the mad scientist from down the sreet, using another remote control to turn Alice into a white rabbit.
The Radio
Jerry is a part-time security guard who buys a radio from a homeless street vendor to replace his old one which has stopped working. However, this mysterious new 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 whim of his new radio.
Alice's father (Detective Jacobs) also appears in this story, investigating the various murders and strange goings-on taking place.
Call Girl
Rachael is a murderous hooker who recieves a call from Victor, her newest client. Rachael thinks he will be just another easy victim, however, it turns out that Victor is a vampire. A serial killer prostitute vs. a vampire client -- a clash of titans?
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 has supposedly spent the last 20 years working on in his laboratory. 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 utter horror, they learn that Kathy really was a human being after all. The professor later buys an 'advanced' voodoo kit from the homeless street vendor to put Kathy back together in time for the wedding.
Rachael the call girl killer makes a breif appearance in this story.
Haunted Dog
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.
