Over 30 years later, and those roaches still get me


Oh. My. God. SO F@CKING GROSS. I can't even watch - I have to look away once he spills out the cereal.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I know what you mean. To this day when I open up a box of Raisin Bran I get a little paranoid. 

You should watch the Creepshow documentary on the making of this episode. The roach wranglers were knee deep in cock roaches to gather them all up for the movie. They were literally being moved as if they were in water because they were surrounded by them. Bleh!

And the crew had to put sticky tape on the bottoms of their chairs to keep the critters from crawling up the seats. I don't care how much you pay me I would never work on a film dealing with thousands of live roaches. No way!

Yeah, um, no.

The only way I would ever, EVER watch that is if it were A Clockwork Orange situation, with my eyelids held open by clamps. So I definitely plan on not raping and holding hostage any high government officials in the foreseeable future to be certain that I avoid that happening.

But thanks for that helpful tip about Raisin Bran. Only my very favorite cereal.



Otherwise, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Now days they could use CGI. Imagine being covered in them nasty things.

Ha! Glad I'm not alone. I've been watching creep show recently and I always skip that particular segment. Can't imagine how'd they look now in High Definition. My dad said folks were scrambling in their seats (especially the women) at the theater back in 1982.

The War has only begun, will you defend your destiny?
