Creepshow - bought it from an independent rental store that closed down and had a huge sale. I was about twelve and picking up VHS tapes for less than a pound (thinking they were a great investment), and Creepshow stood out to me. Had an enormous impact on my enjoyment of horror. It was just unapologetic. It was what it was and it revelled in its own sense of identity, and I loved every single second of it. From King's goofy role as a hillbilly, to the monstrous crate under the stairs, there isn't a scene I don't remember vividly.

I heard he passed away listening to his favourite soundtrack, surrounded by his wife and daughter. Nice to know he had loved ones with him.
