Want to see young Stephen King acting in a horror movie? Yep, this is the one. This 1982 movie is inspired by 1950’s comics and the screenplay was done by Stephen King and the director is George Romero. It consists of 5 short horror stories that aren’t spooky, though one of them makes me feel grossed out since it has everything to do with my ENEMY: ROACHES!!! YURGGGHHH!!!

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Stephen King there, though I didn’t recognize him as he looks SO young he he he he…It was hubby that told me that it was him. He plays the character REALLY REALLY well (it’s a rather comical character).

1. It’s about the revenge of a father who was killed by the daughter. He comes back alive on Father’s Day.

2. A rather silly farmer named Jordy Verrill (Stephen King) finds a meteor outside his house and it changes everything into plants.

3. One guy wants revenge since his wife has an affair with another man, so he buries them up to their necks on the beach so that when the tide comes, they will be killed (after being tortured first).

4. There’s a creature inside a crate in a college and two men find it. Turns out the creature likes to eat humans!!!

5. A super rich man is battling against bugs. He’s ruthless and cruel and in the end, roaches attack his place. 

Notes:

a. I think my fave story is the one with Stephen King as the main character.

b. Don’t expect to see anything too serious here as this is rather comical and you’ll see the dead waking up and coming back to life he he he he…It’s hard for me to compare this movie to “regular serious horror movies” (which I prefer), but I think I’ll give this a 6.2 stars out of 10. 

Hey, I found the video clip where Stephen King is the main character. Here goes:
