The Creepshow franchise is coming to gaming. Creepshow, a new horror game published by AMC, PHL, and DreadXP, has been officially announced with an August 2026 launch on Steam. Inspired by the cult classic horror film and the Shudder anthology series executive produced by Greg Nicotero, the game promises a collection of original horror stories presented in the franchise’s iconic pulp comic aesthetic — complete with gore, wicked humour, and vintage horror vibes.
The game has been described as a love letter to the roots of the genre — the cheap paperbacks and horror comics that delivered quick, visceral scares at a dime a dozen. If you grew up with the original Creepshow or the Shudder series, this is clearly built for you.
Distinct Original Horror Stories
Each episode stands as its own self-contained narrative, evoking the original film, the Shudder series, and the timeless horror comics of years past. Anthology-style horror with the Creepshow DNA intact.
◆
Authentic Creepshow Tone
Exceptional gore, wicked humour, and a highly stylized visual aesthetic. This isn’t a sanitised cash-in — the team has specifically cited the franchise’s unique blend of horror and dark comedy as the core creative target.
◆
Vintage Pulp Horror Aesthetic
Rooted in the golden era of horror comics and cheap paperback scares. The visual style and tone take inspiration directly from the genre’s exploitation-era origins — exactly what made the franchise distinctive in the first place.
