Creepshow showrunner Greg Nicotero talks working on an expanded fourth season, and bringing his special effects knowledge to showrunning.
The Big Picture If you’ve loved horror at any point in your life, you’ve probably come across Greg Nicotero’s work. The special effects giant has worked on everything from Army of Darkness to The Walking Dead, the latter of which he continues to oversee as the zombified world expands with numerous spinoffs. He and his company, KNB EFX Group, are a staple in the world of creatures and gory special effects, with their hands in countless fantasy, science-fiction, and horror projects.
Yeah, it's a fantastic season. You mentioned The Walking Dead, and I was curious, you're obviously working on two very different horror things, but as an executive producer on that and a showrunner on this, is there any sort of carryover? Do you learn something from one thing and take it to the other?
It does. When it comes to choosing the stories, do you go in with a specific vision of, “This is the number of stories, and this is the kind of stories we wanna tell,” or is it kind of just like picking from a giant pile like a kid in a candy store? When it comes to picking those things, obviously Creepshow is a pretty lasting legacy, we have the films that came before, so is there any sort of pressure to feel beholden to Romero's legacy at all, or because it's an anthology thing, do you think, “Hey, boom out of the gate, let them do whatever they wanna do?”
NICOTERO: It's really challenging. That's a great question because we don't shoot them in the same order that we air them. So a lot of times, it really is kind of tricky to go, “Okay, what's the tone of this one? How do we wanna grab the audience? How do we wanna leave the audience when the series ends?” So it really is challenging to pick those stories and sort of pair them together. I think that's one of the hardest things.
