CREEPING BACK
CREEPSHOW VETERAN JOHN HARRISON TALKS DIRECTING SEASON FOUR
WORDS: DARREN SCOTT
DIRECTOR JOHN HARRISON worked with George Romero on the first Creepshow movie – and numerous iconic properties since – and over 40 years later that bond is still going strong.
“I love doing this show because of my relationship going way back to the original [movie],” he says of the Shudder anthology series. “I also love working with the team that Greg [Nicotero, showrunner] has assembled, which is really superior.
“I love the anthology format, because every show is different. It’s like directing a little mini-movie. As a director, I can come in and really make a short movie from top to bottom. I’m not jumping in on a series that has already established characters and storylines that I have to adhere to, which is fine. I can tell an individual story and bring whatever skill sets I have, whatever creative imagination I have, to that particular story. I know that I’m gonna get a chance to do something different from anything I’ve done before, or anything that I might do again.”
