Are all versions as terrible as this, or do I have a particularly bad one?

I should be getting a DVD of this in the next few days, I'll post back here when I can comment on the quality.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

Wow that looks bad....

What's different about the workprint? How much longer is it and what extra scenes does it have?

My copy is the same quality. Bad but an interesting watch.

The workprint contains the following extra footage:
In "Father's day", the scene where Yarbro gets shot was supposed to be much more graphic, he was originally supposed to get shot in the face and it was followed with a scene where Bedelia is at a morgue looking at his corpse, this scene was shown in the trailer. And Richard explains to Hank how Nathan Grantham got his money because In the early 1900's, Nathan was involved in bootlegging, extortion, and murder-for-hire, That explains Bedilia calling her father a "bootlegger, killer, murderer" at his grave.

In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", Jordy imagines going to the loan department, When asked where he got the money to pay off the loan, he replies "It just fell from the sky".

In "Something to Tide You Over", it shows Richard shoveling sand on Harry,Harry complains that he can't breathe. In a scene that was filmed but never made it,Richard flees from the sea-zombies into the bathroom, and when he slams the door shut the sea-zombie Harry gets his arm caught and his hand comes off. The hand comes to life and crawls after Richard.

In the end of "The Crate" Wilma's severed, chewed face comes floating to the top after the monster escapes the crate.

That's actually false. The Crate ends where it normally does, and most of the extra footage is in the cockroach episode.

That's one workprint not worth having. One would do better to download the "Creepshow" script and the comic book scan from #ebooks - there's more additional content in those than there is in the workprint.
