The Crate scared the shit outta me when I first saw it on HBO in the early 80s. I was alittle kid and even tho they barely showed the beast in the crate, the suspense was mind boggling.
This segment was perfect. The creepy music while Hal Holbrook is trying to clean up before Wilma gets there is one of the all time best pieces of horror cinema. It builds tension PERFECTLY.
I absolutely love when director pay homage to each other's films by showing cameos, it's such a treat to realize creatures from different films are in the "universe".
Tom Savini has always been a favorite. hes SO talented. i always thought the movie version of fluffy was a like a yeti, but the original story shows its an undead something. brought back by blood ?? a vampire thing, which would also explain going back to its crate and hiding in the dark, instead of fleeing.
Very interesting theory. This has been my favorite Creepshow segment. Everything from the acting, the writing, practical effects, and John Harrison's amazing piano-based score. I was 6 years old when this came out, and it was a toss up between my brother and I if we were going to see Swamp Thing, or Creepshow. I won that coin flip, and my life was forever changed. Went to the Art Institute in Pittsburgh, went to the Monroeville Mall, and got a private tour of Tom's studio and got to chat with him and get some autographs. He is so humble and sweet. This movie, this segment, is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. And this is the segment that boosted the entire movie, for me personally.
I found this story in print in a anthology at the library. Until then, I had no idea that it was a written story. I thought it was created for the movie Creepshow. It blew my mind.
So my theory on fluffy is he’s amphibious.Some amphibious creatures can enter into a state of hibernation allowing him to survive all that time without food or water. I also think that’s why he’s so small in my head cannon the more fluffy eats the bigger he gets.
What if Fluffy gets out and then pushes the crate back under the stairs of the university? Fast forward to 2024 and some college kid looks and wonders: what is that under the stairs?
I loved the cut to the snowman with the umbrella, the mention of the Easter eggs, (I write as a hobby and might have fluffy in the background of one of my stories, and I loved your creativity for the ending. What if the creature has too forms in the water it's a slime. But when it dries out. It's this.
Weird coincidence that King was hit by a car on June 19th so many years after Creepshow was made and the story about the arctic monster was written. There are many other coincidences like this, aside from the subtle ‘Easter Egg’ links King intentionally makes between characters and occurrences in his multiverses. I most appreciate your attention to details and all your speculations about them. Love your work!
19 is a particular big fear of Stephen King, he talks about it in one of the intros to his books. The accident the first commenter mentioned added up to 19, date wise. I think it's in a short story collection. God help him when the C-19 came out, bless him! But yes, he's always feared it😂
I remember seeing Creepshow when I was 8 years old. I felt my skin melt with terror when the ape monster tore the grad student's face off with its razor sharp claws. It was glorious.
Growing up watching this classic ingenious horror. They never explained exactly what the creature was. However, to me, it did have strong resemblance of the Looney Toons Tasmanian Devil. The height. The teeth. The slobbering. The claws. Most of all. The insatiable appetite it had is what really sold it to me. I love it! Just introduced this masterpiece to my 13 yr old not too long ago. It was finally time
Tom Savinis biker character was a crazy! After missing capturing Peter who escaped into ceiling through air vent & just pulled up ladder & put vent cover back on, Savini strikes cover with sword & still shouts "I SEE YOU! Chocolate man."
This traumatized me as a child and for years I’ve been looking for what it was but only after seeing a very short clip in a walking dead video I was able to find what it was. Really don’t make horror like they used to
Just found your channel.. have to say absolutely love it. I grew up with watching these movies (creepshow 1 and 2) and they scared the living daylights out of me. King is still my favourite and constantly re-read his works as there is always something else to find
Oh man! I had no idea that kid was Joe Hill! I've seen Creepshow at least a dozen times and read most of their books (Stephen and Joe) but I love that I still learn stuff from your videos. Thank you, they're all good but this one in particular really nailed the feel of the subject matter, IMHO. Really shows all the work you put into the channel 👍👍
@@GODCONVOYPRIME Stephen King's son (or his pen name anyway, legal name is Joe King), he's also the author of Black Phone which was adapted into a movie last year.
In 1987 when my brothers friend stole the vhs Tape from his parents that had “Haha” wrote on the label, I had no idea that I see ( or not) the thing that would scare me for years. The crate was the most deranged creature I’d never seen, nightmares galore.
They could easily make a prequel to The Crate where they depict the arctic expedition when the creature was discovered and eventually captured before it was sent to the university. It could obviously have The Thing vibes in addition to revealing the creature’s origins as to what it is, whether it’s an inter dimensional demon or an ancient creature of some kind that can somehow survive for centuries without eating.
So here’s my story of Fluffy and why I love him. I liked horror movies but I was easily scared (the kid who would close his eyes at the scary parts)so my friend set me up.we were watching creepshow and my buddy tells me “ ok there’s two boxes under the stairs the first one has these little squirrel 🐿️ things in it that are the monsters food” you see where this is going. So when there was no squirrels I was caught off guard and treated to fluffy in all his glory. The spike of adrenaline and the shock cured me of my fear. I could watch anything without fear so fluffy is special to me.
Oh I remember being terrified of Fluffy when I first watched creepshow when I was like 11 or 12, but I also loved Fluffy! Even now I watch creepshow again just because of Fluffy XD
i remember this movie from when i was a kid. it was so terrifying and i was way too young to watch it, roughly 8-10 years old. it’s one of the reasons i have a fear of apes, oceans and roaches.
My god! The movie the raft, I’ve been looking for since I saw it when it came out. All I remembered is the oil slick and swim platform. Good day indeed!!
Seems like the Crate could be a nod to the Thing. Like, what happened after the South Pole. Also, the raft being the third film, where the it changes form into a slime, could explain how to tie the movies together.
"Intelligence is knowing Dr. Frankenstein is NOT the monster. Wisdom is knowing Dr. Frankenstein IS the monster." Stephen King has that down pretty solid . . . at least when he looks at the world through HIS lens.
This was filmed at Margret Morrison on the Carnegie Mellon University campus… when I was a student there in the 80s I walked that hallway everyday . Of course we went to the basement looking for ‘fluffy’ no luck. Both George Romero, and Tom Savini were CMU grads and obviously wanted to return to campus to film this masterpiece… don’t forget to call you Billy!!
@@stephenkingbookclub1054 Thank you. You got some good stuff. I was exposed to this stuff very early. My dad watched whatever horror movie anytime. There were a lot of movies we watched but horror is my most remembered and most liked. Started reading horror at the age of 10 with Insomnia. What was you first King book?
@@gamervet4760 My first reading experience with King were his short stories from Skeleton Crew! And then, when I was 15 I read IT... which was a big deal for me, because I had never finished a book that size before (or even half that size) so I credit King for turning me into a lifelong reader :)
@stephenkingbookclub1054 That was Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow for me. Read those before my sister got me unto King. I read The Stand at 15, and that was my mammoth novel. Writer's cut, too.
There are a few pieces of film that everyone who ever saw them remembers. One is "The Crate:" Another is "Amelia' with Karen Black. Both are truly scary.
I wish there was a show like this that ran all year around new episode everyday based on Stephen King stories new and old. And when we ran out of stories they can just do someone elses version of the story. You can build many episodes off of one story alone…also the way I interpret a story could be alot different than you or the next person….hey, a guy can dream right🤷
I STILL haven't seen Creepshow! Wtf is going on i can't find it anywhere, & being in the UK is not helping. You guys in the US get all the best movies. I'm just grateful I've got his books to read. Edit: ok no worries I found it on Amazon prime, it's finally available to buy!😂
Alright. I was a kid. Maybe. 6 or 7. Early 90s. Was channel surfing late night. And this movie came on. I enjoyed it. Except for The Crate. It traumatised me Explains my horror obsession now actually.
"The Crate" segment of "Creepshow" is one of the most effective pieces of cinematic horror ever filmed. When Hal Holbrook is cleaning up waiting for Adrienne Barbeau (who knocked it out of the park as Wilma) and that creepy music is playing....perfect. I've always hoped maybe Mr. King could re-visit Horlicks University (I know "The Raft" is set there) but specifically to the Antarctic expedition. Has he ever done Arctic Horror, no right? The Crate is also where the world learned the word "Fuckadiddle"
It's kind of funny June 19th 1999 was the exact day I my life as I knew it ended. I was married to my wife. Our 25th anniversary is coming up and my life my end because I can't figure out what to get her.
You lost me with fluffy turning into a Blob at the bottom of a lake, and where did the sign comes from that said No Swimming. Now if Fluffy broke out the Crate and found a Cave as his new home.Now that I can believe
I really like your description of being a kid and feeling helplesss against adults and the unjustness of the world. I wonder if Stephen King felt that way as a kid also and draws from that
You know, funny thing is I saw this in a hotel room late at night when vacationing with my mom. I am not sure how old I was, but I was VERY young. I still knew how to turn on a tv. Woke up and they left it on HBO or something. Just saw Hal Holbrook roughing up Adrienne Barbeau and them arguing. Just kind of focused on it wondering what was going on and then YETI. So my mother woke up to her toddler screaming. Fun times. Of course I never knew what I had seen. Was wary of any ape like monsters in film through childhood, bigfoot scared me a lot and I think it is probably due to this. Got older, and there was the internet, so I started poking around for a movie about an ape monster that lives under the stairs or in a basement, you see it got turned off before anything about a crate was mentioned if I would have even remembered that part. I said yeti, but that's in hindsight. Because everything goes red when Fluffy attacks as a homage to old horror comics I didn't realize he was suppose to be a yeti. So 'ape monster', 'sasquatch' and 'weird looking werewolf' were the search terms. Took me to some interesting places, a lot of little known movies and even another more PG rated anthology called 'the Willies' but I could never find this one. It being an anthology segment probably didn't help. Then one day I was talking to someone and mentioned it, brought up that everything went red and they identified it immediately. That was a little less than a decade ago. So Fluffy has a special place in my hear... no he can go f himself.
For the longest time I thought when I saw the film I thought that the live-action version of Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil 😈. It looks like what it would look like in live form in real life. TAZ later I saw pictures of a real Tasmanian devil it doesn't look like either one but The Crate from Creepshow looks more like the looney tunes version than the real life version
I was fascinated by Fluffy. I felt bad he met his end that way. Living on as a blob or breaking out to go get Howard??? Which is better? I liked the blob as well, but Fluffy is better.
“Just tell it to call you Billy.” I always lmao at that line.
That and "Fuckadiddle" when the janitors quarter rolls under the stairs.
Everybody does! 🥴
And no good in bed!!!!
The Crate scared the shit outta me when I first saw it on HBO in the early 80s. I was alittle kid and even tho they barely showed the beast in the crate, the suspense was mind boggling.
This segment was perfect. The creepy music while Hal Holbrook is trying to clean up before Wilma gets there is one of the all time best pieces of horror cinema. It builds tension PERFECTLY.
When the creature popped out and bit the dudes face off terrified me to no end!
I swear it literally gave me nightmares as a small kid lol
I did the mistake of rewatching it as an adult. It terrified me as a kid, but it made me laugh so hard as an adult.
I was 16 and watched at the theater in Owensboro, KY. I will never forget it.
I absolutely love when director pay homage to each other's films by showing cameos, it's such a treat to realize creatures from different films are in the "universe".
Loved the vibrant colors when the characters showed fear in Creepshow
When the old zombie dad comes out of his grave and is in the kitchen asking "WHERES MY CAKE!?" Those colors and music terrified me as a kid. So good.
Tom Savini has always been a favorite. hes SO talented. i always thought the movie version of fluffy was a like a yeti, but the original story shows its an undead something. brought back by blood ?? a vampire thing, which would also explain going back to its crate and hiding in the dark, instead of fleeing.
That's a creature I always said deserves its own movie
Would be boring
Depends on who writes it. I want to see the story of how they got him in the box
It already has its own movie, and it's not The Thing. And it pre-dates Creepshow.
@@patrickhamos2987It does? What’s the name?
Yes, wasn't expecting that thing to pop out of the box, and the way old dude takes such a chance just to get rid of his wife is crazy.
Give a ❤ for Fluffy. Definitely my favorite creature in the Creep show movies.
Very interesting theory. This has been my favorite Creepshow segment. Everything from the acting, the writing, practical effects, and John Harrison's amazing piano-based score.

"...a filthy, whiteish gorilla thing with sharp yellow fangs and matted fur." -- "The Lurking Fear" (H.P. Lovecraft).
Creepshow got me into horror as a kid, still one of my favorites.
Same here. This and Hammer House of Horror, and American Werewolf in London were my introductions to horror which is, still, my fav genre.
Fluffy has and always will be the most terrifying monster EVER for me ❤
May Fluff-Fluff do ya foine...
Fluffy makes a reappearance in an episode of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE in 1984 85
@@JohnSmith-eo5sp what!?! I cannot wait to watch that!
So my theory on fluffy is he’s amphibious.Some amphibious creatures can enter into a state of hibernation allowing him to survive all that time without food or water. I also think that’s why he’s so small in my head cannon the more fluffy eats the bigger he gets.
This one made me fear that empty space under a set of stairs for the longest time.
4:30 6:27 I was not expecting those Rudolph references, and I freaking CACKLED when I saw them! 🤣
What if Fluffy gets out and then pushes the crate back under the stairs of the university?
Fast forward to 2024 and some college kid looks and wonders: what is that under the stairs?
Thank you so much much for listening to my request !!!!
I remember seeing this on TV at about 3 or 4. Scared the crap out of me.

I had that exact same thought years ago....that Fluffy mutated into that blob from The Raft.
To me, Savinis masterpiece is the monster from the Tales From The Darkside episode, “In The Closet”
All time creepiest music..."Man Lives in the Sunlit World...." My fave episode was the Cutty Black Sow

I remember when the ape killed Adrienne Bardeau's character, the whole theater erupted into cheers.
Yeah she was way too much of a nag.
I remember this when it came out in the early 80s. I never thought something on TV or the movie screen could actually scare me this much. I was 14.
The way you narrated this was amazing. I like this a lot and I can't wait to see more!
Thank you so much!
Read the original in an anthology. The monster is more like a spider in the original. Both are brilliant.
This traumatized me as a child and for years I’ve been looking for what it was but only after seeing a very short clip in a walking dead video I was able to find what it was. Really don’t make horror like they used to

It's kind of sad that Fluffy dragged his box around with him, like a prisoner who's been institutionalized and just can't bear the idea of freedom.
Right? He drags it right back under the stairs... Poor guy!

The Beast in the crate reminded me of the demon in "Night of the Demon!" when was a young horror fan in the late 70s early 80s..good times
Seems like the Crate could be a nod to the Thing. Like, what happened after the South Pole. Also, the raft being the third film, where the it changes form into a slime, could explain how to tie the movies together.

Yes, this one scared the hell out of me when I was a kid and gave me nightmares.

I saw it at the drive in movies when it first came out.I was 10. It had a profound impact on my youth.
ME TOO. The Neponset drive in in Boston. Dorchester. It was a double feature. It was this and either American Werewolf in London or Blood Beach

I did not realize that Tom Savini was in From Dusk Till Dawn.
Man's a legend to play cameo's in movies 😊
My Dad and I call it the Tasmanian devil episode. And the move with jade Pinkett was good to.
So the creature inside of the crate is the abominable snowman
but with a heard of cold 🥶

Fluffy becomes the Blob, and then the Blob gasses into and becomes "the Mist".
You lost me with fluffy turning into a Blob at the bottom of a lake, and where did the sign comes from that said No Swimming. Now if Fluffy broke out the Crate and found a Cave as his new home.Now that I can believe
