History Fridge / Creepshow

** And the Head looking back at Evie from the bathroom mirror, with his [[IKnowYoureWatchingMe obvious message to her.]]

** This is also the twist of the Stephen King short story "Nona."

* The Golden Dragons are rude to the adults who regard them with terror. While this may seem because they are just punk teenagers, the truth is [[spoiler: they deeply resent their own tragic deaths, which was brought about the sons of these adults]].
** Also, [[they saved Eddie for last. It is implied that they would murder one of the boys every Halloween, and there appeared to be about eight of them. Eddie knew they were coming for him, he just didn't know ''when.'' They probably wanted him to sweat it out as long as possible.]]

* Thinking back over the events of "The House of the Head", it becomes clear that [[spoiler: the Head's agenda all along was to convince Evie to ''take it out of the dollhouse''. If it had '''really''' been content to torment her dolls, alone, then it could easily have hidden itself entirely from her view so it could assail them unopposed; conversely, if it had merely wished to torment ''her'', it could have openly displayed its powers when she could ''see'' it make things move. Instead, it stages scenes that will stimulate Evie's empathy for her playthings, maintaining her belief that they are tiny people who need rescue rather than unfeeling objects, and ruthlessly eliminating any "protector"-dolls Evie adds to the house. Even her very first encounter with the Head, in which she picks it up and gets mock(?) blood on her finger, is an attempt to trick her into taking the Head out of the dollhouse ''to wash it clean in the sink''. Everything it does to "menace" the Smithsmiths, from unnerving the parent-dolls to replacing the child-doll's head, is calculated to make Evie bring it out of the dollhouse where it's trapped, so it can have some '''real''' victims to plague.]]

* Before Billy's voodoo attack on his father, Billy's mother is ironing his (the father's) yellow shirt. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, you will notice a section of the shirt has been cut out. The missing patch of shirt is then seen adorning the voodoo doll: legend has it that a voodoo doll only works if it is dressed in cloth that has touched the victim's skin (of course, it also needs hair and blood).

* After Jordy [[spoiler: offs himself]] there is a weather report stating that rain will fall. Now this weed that has been eating Jordy and everything around him, [[OhCrap feeds off any water.]]

* Nathan's killing of other family members and the cook seems over-the-top, considering he'd already done away with the person who'd actually murdered him. But given that one of those victims (Mrs. Danvers) actually ''overheard'' the murder from the next room and doesn't seem to have reported it to the police, and the rest of the Granthams are perfectly aware that Bedelia killed her father yet haven't done a thing to punish her, his outrage seems more plausible. (Hypocritical, considering his own killing of Bedelia's boyfriend is an equally-open family secret, but plausible.) Even Hank may have made himself a viable target, by taking the story of both murders so casually.

* Were the roaches somehow sent by Norman Castonmeyer's vengeful spirit?

* Nathan and Bedelia Grantham's relationship is implied to be rather... disturbing.

* After Harry dies, Richard takes the VHS out of the camera filming his death and puts it in a collection of similar VHS. How many people do you think Richard killed and videotaped?

* Jordy Verrill's fate becomes a lot more horrifying when you realize that plants have roots and that the alien plants are likely also ''growing inside him.''
