A Creepshow Animated Special features segments based on short stories by Stephen King and Joe Hill. It's directed by Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and stars Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys) and Joey King (The Conjuring).

A Creepshow Holiday Special is written and directed by Greg Nicotero. Adam Pally (Happy Endings) and Anna Camp (True Blood) star, with a special appearance by Lil Yachty.

The two episodes arrive on VHS together with two variants: a standard slipcase and a book box edition with a flip-open cover and a yellow tape (limited to 100). Both versions feature artwork by Graham Humphreys and Devon Whitehead.

For optimal VHS viewing, the episodes have been cropped from their original aspect ratio to 4:3 full frame. It is officially licensed from RLJE Films and Shudder.

Two animated tales of terror: “Survivor Type,” based on the short story by Stephen King and adapted by Greg Nicotero, stars Kiefer Sutherland as a man determined to stay alive alone on a deserted island no matter what the cost. “Twittering from the Circus of the Dead,” based on the short story by Joe Hill and adapted by Melanie Dale, stars Joey King as a teen whose family road trip includes a visit to the gravest show on earth.

In the holiday-themed "Shapeshifters Anonymous," fearing he is a murderer, an anxious man searches for answers for his "unique condition" from an unusual support group. Starring Anna Camp and Adam Pally, the special is written and directed by Creepshow showrunner Greg Nicotero, based on a short story by J.A. Konrath.

(Credit for the above image goes to the lovely and talented as ever @spider-jaysart who helped considerably co-create this character)

Meredith Adams Robinson

Age: 10 1/2 years

Height: 5’2”

Personality Traits: Adventurous, Intelligent with her Hobbies, Playfully Mischievous, Open Minded and Positively Receptive when Taking Genuine Criticism, Stands Up against Authoritarian Tendencies from some Grown Ups and Bullying from some jerkish classmates, Very Hard to Get Stressed Out, Easy Going, Conversely is Very Hard to Calm Down or Soothe when Agitated, Scared, or Angered, Never Runs From a Fight No Matter the Risks, Sometimes can be Impatient with certain things like upcoming news for her fandoms or with unpredictable delays in whatever her friends and her are doing that day.

Attends Bludhaven Academy, currently in 5th Grade

Only Daughter of Mackey Vernon Robinson, a local Bludhaven based Car Mechanic, and Susana Whitehead-Robinson, a US Marine currently stationed at Air Station Iwakuni in Japan.

Primary Hobbies: Making Short Films with her Phone’s Camera, cardboard miniature buildings and her collection of kaiju action figures as Practice for her Cinematography skills and stop motion animation, Writing Down Scripts and Story Treatments for Dream Movies, Comic Book Reading and Collecting, Gymnastics and Social Networking

Best Friends: Jake Grayson*, Thara Ak Var, Christopher Kent, and Mar’i Grayson

*Both Jake and Her are clearly developing feelings for one another despite insistence from the both of them of being merely just very close good friends

Bio: Raised by primarily her father due to her mother’s duties as a US Marine, Meredith Robinson takes a lot of her persona and approach to life from said father, who in turn always values making the best out of any sort of situation and looking to the bright side when possible. While not exactly entirely low class citizens, The Robinsons reside at a humble and modest neighborhood relatively close to both the slums and the dockyards, which in turn had Meredith for the longest time attending the less prestigious and even sometimes run down elementary schools prior to attending Bludhaven Academy for the fifth grade, even then it took insistence from her parents and a threat of lawsuit to the Bludhaven Unified School District to allow her in. With that, Meredith is a relatively street wavy sort who’s familiar with the rougher sides of the city, which ensures she can fend for herself and her f friends in times of danger, maybe even jump as a volunteer during fights being rouges and Bludhaven’s local crime fighters

Speaking of whom, Meredith first meets Jake Grayson during her first day at Bludhaven Academy, as both have picked Basketball for their PE Classes, difference here being Jake has been part of the Academy’s official peewee and later Junior teams ever since he was seven. Upon first laying eyes and beginning to talk to each other, a sort of emotional spark within them went off, as if their hearts grew by one or two sizes and they largely grew the very second they say hi to one another.

However, Both Meredith and Jake rather not dwell on those bidding emotions and feelings too much as the two don’t wish to pursue an immediate relationship of that sort with anyone. It just feels…wrong if they jump into a childhood crush right away. No, Meredith and Jake instead immediately start out being friends, quickly becoming close within the next two weeks after that first meeting. Within that time, Meredith then meets Jake’s best friend Chris and his Big sister Mar’i. What truly captures her eyes though comes when she’s introduced to one of Chris’ other school friends whom is a foreign exchange student from New Krytpon, Thara Ak Var. Other than Jake and despite going to differing schools, Thara and Meredith quickly form a tight knit and solid friendship with each other, Thara more sensible and typical girly approach balancing out with Meredith’s tomboyish attitude and adventurism quite nicely.

During the particular weekends after beginning her school year, a rampage by Cinderblock results in Meredith being precariously dangling off the rooftop of a building, each blow to it the stone monster causing more of its foundations to break. Finally as the building gives and just as Meredith was going down with it, she’s rescued from the crumbling rubble by one of those local heroes, swinging away to safety on a cable while being safely held in his arms. Meredith peaks open her eyes, revealing a young man about her age on a black domino mask and an assuring smile on him, Skybird. It’s only about six to ten months later and after further adventures with Skybird does he finally feel confident in her trust to not reveal his secret identity to those who don’t know, revealing himself as his best friend and classmate Jake Grayson.

After the tiny bit of silence in so both can process their thoughts and emotions after such a reveal, Meredith becomes a viable yet not distracting presence for Jake when hero duties are concerned. Her experience in the streets allows Meredith to catch wind of any sort of shenanigans and plots being done from the view point of the near lowest level which gives Jake and his partner Chris the intel needed for their never ending battle against the forces of evil. Akin comparatively to the portrayal of the character of Mary Jane Watson seen in the Insomniac SpiderMan games.

Oh and as the shirt she wear was major indicator and thanks to her mother’s continuous presence at Japan, Meredith and her Father have an entire collection of pretty much ever my single Godzilla movie, show or tv series ever made. Her dream is to one day create a kaiju movie of that caliber cause really it’s one of the great accomplishments as far as she’s concerned.

Misc Trivia:

- Absolutely Loves Blue Moon Ice Cream and is so ever thankful a local parlor near her place serves it. She’s considered something of a regular customer and the staff are alway so delighted to see her

- Besides Skybird, her favorite superheroes would be both Starfire and Troia. Some honorable mentions go to Batwoman, Batgirl (Cass) and Raven

- While generally easy going and hard to annoy, one particular quick way in getting there is continually poking fun at suitmation, the common method for special effects in the majority of the Godzilla and other kaiju movies. She’d very very quick in pointing out the hardships and difficulties the guys in those rubber suits had to undergo in making the best film they can, not limiting to exceptional high temperatures inside said suits, the risks of injury just by tripping and falling over the sets given the virtually useless eyeholes, risk of burns from the small sparks and controlled fires along many others. She respects those guys.

- She’s loosely based on the woman Jake had married and had a child with at the very end of Nightwing: The New Order. The general idea being the small childhood crush they develop grows over the years, developing into romance once they reach college and once they’ve graduated, then they’re a happily married couple
