Pernell Rogers – Writer

Hello all! If you’ve peruses my sight before, and read my interview and the short blurbs for each of my stories, you know that many of them are based on my love of horror comics. Well, if you’d want a glimpse of those horror comics, I direct you to watch the movie Creepshow (1982) by George Romero. It’s an anthology of horror stories with the original screenplay written by Stephen King.

There are three Creepshow movies, with individual stories told within, and Shudder (part of Amazon Prime Video) has created the third season of Creepshow the Televsion Series. But, the visuals that capture me every time I watch either form of media, are the illustrations and advertisements in the comics. I can still remember receiving my X-Ray glasses from the first time I ordered something in the mail.

So much of my childhood was wrapped within those comics, and they introduced me to the horror genre. I must admit, whenever I watch Creepshow, I pause the program so I can scan the ads, and the dialogue when the stories begin.
