Nicotero, the makeup effects wizard and Walking Dead executive producer, will direct, executive-produce and supervise Creepshow's creative elements. The original Creepshow 1982 horror anthology film was directed by legendary horror director George A. Romero and written by Stephen King. “Creepshow is a project very close to my heart!” said Nicotero, who visited the film's set where he met his makeup effects mentor Tom Savini. “It is one of those titles that embraces the true spirit of horror… thrills and chills celebrated in one of its truest art forms, the comic book come to life! I’m honored to continue the tradition in the ‘spirit’ which it was created.”
