King developed stories for the anthology that were then written as a screenplay by Romero and Lucille Fletcher (he also makes a brief cameo towards the end of the film). (According to Ian Nathan’s Stephen King At The Movies, the filmmaker was particularly proud of the fact that the first was his lone “number one hit.”) Ultimately other commitments prevented King and Romero from collaborating on Creepshow 2 the same way that they had on the original – which had them co-writing the script and Romero directing – but the film still got made. Their stars crossed paths again in 1984 as Stephen King’s short story “The Word Processor Of The Gods” was used as source material for an episode of the George Romero-produced series Tales From The Darkside, but conversations also continued about doing a sequel to Creepshow.
