June Bugs!



Creepshow : A collaboration between writer-media conglomerate Stephen King and horror specialist George A. Romero, this episodic tribute to the old E.C. horror comics has a grotesque final segment that features bugs aplenty. Aptly titled ''They're Going to Get You'', it's the story of a heartless businessman billionaire (E.G. Marshall in a hilariously cranky performance) with a serious case of OCD. Being a clean freak, he cannot stand bugs and bugs are getting into his super clean hermetically sealed penthouse. He gets his comeuppance when he's devoured by what appears to be the entire cockroach population of the Western world. It's like a Twilight Zone episode with a larger than usual nonhuman cast, but if you're looking for a great cockroach movie, this is it.
