The Fully Animated Special, Directed by Greg Nicotero, Premieres Just In Time for Halloween on October 26, Exclusively on Shudder

NEW YORK, NY - September 24, 2020 - Shudder, AMC Networks' premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, today announced Kiefer Sutherland (24, Designated Survivor) and Joey King (The Kissing Booth, The Act) as the voice cast for The Creepshow Halloween Special, premiering October 26.

"Although season 2, now in production, has been delayed due to Covid, Greg and his team were still able to pull off this fantastic special so everyone will be able to enjoy a little bit of Creepshow during Halloween season," said Craig Engler, Shudder's General Manager.
