7. Father's Day
8. They're Creeping Up On You

A better question would be why would that chick stick her finger in it

It hypnotized her. Seriously. Seemed odd in the movie, but the short story's more specific about that.

Did not know that

Yeah, the "sparkling" surface didn't really film well, but I see they at least tried.

In the story is the goo toying with them? It could of snatched them all off of the raft at any time.

[Reign in Blood]

As much as I love The Raft in Creepshow 2, it always bugged me for the kids' motive to go out to that raft in the first place. I mean, driving 50 miles to go swim out to a raft? I don't even remember anything clear in the original short story.

Beaches were closed and he saw the raft and swimming area while on a field trip the week before.

I know he saw it on the field trip, but still not getting why it was significant for them to get to it. They could've just hung out on the beach as their goal, but the raft was their goal and it's a head scratcher for me lol.

Still my favorite Creepshow segment, very closely followed by Something To Tide You Over.

I've got it. Rape. Out on the raft, in the middle of the lake, can't do nothing.

Pretty much. Been a while since I've read it, but when you stare at its surface it does try to hypnotize you into embracing it.

The Raft was good. Not near my favorite Creepshow stories, though.

Oh yeah, what is? They're Creeping up on your beard.

The Hitch-Hiker and Father's Day teeter around my #1 spot.

[Ava]

Raft goo is such a dick.

[Ava]

I mean why fuck with that crate with the monster in it. I wouldn't touch that crate, you wouldn't, just stop.

I would flick pennies at it from really far away.

Like stories/flights up? As long as I can crash out and make sure that fucker don't kill me, I'd watch you have your fun.

Pancho does mention he's not gonna get laid with the lakewater that cold. Obviously getting stoned and laid was on the menu. I was thinking maybe The Raft was a location for a porno shoot, but they didn't have any equipment with them

The Scream Factory blu ray of Creepshow is beautifully crisp, btw.

[Tiggnutz]

They're Creeping Up on You is my favorite

Blu ray for it didn't really exist until now. I think there was a scan of the dvd that may have been put out as blu ray, but it was just as bare bones as the DVD. Scream Factory went all out on this edition. It even comes with a sliding hardboard case and mini production book (I almost thought it was a mini version of the comic, but it's not).
