Fantastic Films was a periodical specializing in the movie genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The magazine was published between 1978 and 1985 and was an alternative to Cinefantastique and Starlog. It set itself apart by featuring extensive interviews with actors and behind-the-scenes personnel. In "Creepshow," the master of horror paid homage to the EC-style comic book - or, in essence, graphic novel - with the collection of stories which was subsequently made into the George Romero film. Together, they conjured up five jolting tales of horror including: "Father's Day; The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill; The Crate; Something to Tide You Over; and, They're Creeping Up On You".
