The Creep should've been in live form at the end of the movie

At the beginning of the movie when the creep was in live form at Billy's window, he looked creepy as hell. Then everything mellowed down a bit when he switched to cartoon form.

They should've at least used the creep in live form at the end of the movie when he closed the creepshow book and put the candle out in his dungeon. Just imagine that live rotten skeletal corpse with huge eyeballs staring right at you (without Billy's window in the way) before fading to black with the closing credits

It switched to "cartoon form" for a very good reason though...I guess you didn't quite get that bit?

And so, God came forth and proclaimed widescreen is the best.
Sony 16:9

Yea yea yea I get that they were trying to give the movie that comic book feeling and all.

Or they should've at least shown the creep in live form at the end BEFORE switching him to cartoon form, just like they did at the beginning of the movie.

Well Creepshow 2 was stupid in general so don't even bring that up. The creep in THIS movie looked scary and it wasn't stupid when they showed him in live form at the beginning of this movie so I'm pretty sure it would've worked at the end of the movie as well. Showing him in live form at the end of the movie for at least 2 seconds before switching him to cartoon form wouldnt have hurt the movie.

But anyway to each his own. Still liked the ending nonetheless

Yeah, I think it was a pretty basic puppet that was limited in what it could do.I read Savini made it using a cheap plastic model-kit skull.It did look good though.

I hear what they're all saying...but I'm with you Dave, that puppet scared the living *beep* outta me as a kid. I guess it's those human eyes...it looked like it was looking through me as a kid. Stephen King's kid is just as weird as his daddy for smiling at the effin' thing lol
