Synapse Films reaps JUST DESSERTS: THE MAKING OF CREEPSHOW (review)

Warner's Blu-ray of CREEPSHOW may be no great shakes in the extras department, but Synapse Films has released this feature-length making-of retrospective along with several extras make-up for the lack of a special edition for George A. Romero's first studio film with Stephen King.  Actor Ed Harris, Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, David Early, and Bingo O'Malley along with George Romero, Tom Savini, and other crew members affectionately dish the dirt on the production from conception to release.  From casting to effects to creepy crawlies, everything you always wanted to know about CREEPSHOW is on this disc in the documentary or in the bonus featurettes.
