Every Story Of Creepshow Season One Ranked

6. Skincrawlers

Of the twelve, Skincrawlers has the least scary premise: it follows an overweight man who learns of a weight loss clinic with a 100% success rate. The doctor running the show has perfected a pioneering new method of weight loss surgery, which makes use of fat-sucking leeches. He is initially sceptical, but is eventually convinced having witnessed its astonishing success on other patients. This being a Creepshow story, he is soon to learn that obesity has no quick fix; if it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

Skincrawlers is a dark comedy take on a David Cronenberg-style body horror tale. It feels like the series' answer to the original film's final vignette, They're Creeping Up On You. We know more or less what the outcome of the story is going to be, but it’s no less entertaining watching the s**tshow go down.
