Creepshow marks week three of Miss McGee’s Creature Feature at St. Petersburg’s freeFall Theatre

The last film in Miss McGee's Creature Feature gives scream fans the most bang for their campy buck: Creepshow, a 1982 treasure from George Romero, is actually five short horror films in one. And not just any horror — the stories come from the brilliant, twisted (or is that brilliantly twisted?) mind of Stephen King. Doesn't sound campy enough? Well, how about this: Leslie Nielsen (yep, of Airplane and Naked Gun fame) makes an appearance. Creepshow also has appearances from Ted Danson, Ed Harris and King himself. It's a lovely horror compendium but also as funny as it is twisted. As with the prior shows, Miss McGee will bring her Elvira-esque drag queen persona to the Mystery Science Theatre 3000-style party. It's the last one of the season, but no worries, September's right around the corner and we'll keep you posted on other scary-not-scary (and actually scary) films happening, so don't change that channel.

Audience members are encouraged to wear costumes but seriously, no mask, props or weapons. We feel like we shouldn't have to say this.
