History YMMV / Creepshow

** Nathan Grantham's RoaringRampageofRevenge in "Father's Day". Even after seven years of rotting in the ground, he still has the strength to strangle and decapitate the long suffering members of his family, not to mention he apparently gained telekinesis too.

*** Also a Meta MomentOfAwesome: all of the cockroaches used were real. It cost a lot of money, so much so that the story almost wasn't used, but in the end it was worth every penny.

** After killing his wife and her lover without a shred of remorse, seeing Richard getting his comeupance from their revenant corpses is spectacular. Even if he can hold his breath long enough, he's likely lost any sanity he had left.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Lil' Yachty's cameo at the end of [[Recap/CreepshowShapeshiftersAnonymous Shapeshifters Anonymous]]. Granted, the entire episode is campy, comedic, and borderline crazy, but Yachty comes ''completely'' out of nowhere to take Phyllis home, get her $100 million at the bank, then make love to her all night. Even InUniverse, everyone is either confused, dumbfounded, or left in StunnedSilence.

* MomentofAwesome: Each story has their own:

-->'''Timmy:''' He promised me he was gonna quit [drinking]. He’s my Daddy. I love him.

* GrowingTheBeard: While Season 1 and the specials are great, the show is generally agreed to have really started firing in all cylinders in Season 2, which has more creative stories that dabble in various different genres of horror while still keeping up the same tone.

* TheWoobie: Timmy in "Gray Matter". His mother dies, which leads to his father becoming TheAlcoholic. Then, after one contaminated beer, his father slowly mutates into a BlobMonster that develops a taste for human flesh, and self-duplicates at a rate that could bring about the end of the world in six days. And despite how much his dad changes, and how afraid he is, Timmy refused to give up on him to the very end.

* JerkassWoobie: Richard from "Survivor Type" is an unscrupulous surgeon with criminal connections and, among other things, carried heroin for drug runners and used his connections to get a bully killed, but he grew up with an abusive father and slowly goes insane from hunger and isolation, not to mention being forced to start [[spoiler:eating parts of himself.]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: One of these moments occurs at the end of "Skincrawlers", after the solar eclipse [[spoiler: makes all the weight-loss leeches explode and kill everyone who had the procedure]]. After dropping a vending machine on one of the leeches, Henry, [[spoiler: covered in blood]], picks up a candy bar off the ground, takes in all the carnage surrounding him, and happily takes a bite. Considering that Henry is no more than {{Hollywood Pudgy}}, and how he mentions his lifelong struggles with body image and self-confidence, the moment is oddly triumphant, despite the gore.

** There's also Chet, Rose's abusive stepfather from "[[Recap/CreepshowS1E3ByTheSilverWaterOfLakeChamplain By The Silver Water of Lake Champlain]]". A sociopathic Vietnam veteran, he marries Rose's mother solely to mooch off the insurance payout she received when her husband died, helped spread the rumors that Rose's father (who he callously mocks) was crazy, treats the family like absolute crap, and the director's commentary heavily implies that he harbors sexual feelings for the teenage Rose. When he spots Champy's corpse washed up on the shore of the lake, he selfishly attempts to take all the credit for the discovery himself. When Rose and her boyfriend Thomas try to stop him, he physically attacks and ultimately threatens to kill the kids. It's immensely cathartic when the real Champy sees him wielding Thomas' knife and devours him whole, thinking he was the one who killed her child.

* MagnifientBastard: "[[Recap/CreepshowS1E9TheManInTheSuitcase Man In The Suitcase]]": The titular man in the suitcase appears to be a helpless businessman painfully folded into a suitcase who somehow produces gold whenever he is harmed. In truth, the man is a powerful djinn, far more cunning and in control than he lets on. Seeking out corrupt souls, the djinn feigns at helplessness to see who will try to harm a helpless man for money, even while being unable to repress a dry sense of sarcastic humor. After the segment's hero Justin is upset at the prospect of harming him for wealth, Justin's girlfriend Carla and best friend Alex betray and nearly kill him, whereupon the djinn gleefully takes the chance to present to them their own suitcases, saving Justin and taking the two off for a most unpleasant fate.

** Justin from "The Man In The Suitcase". Unlike his ex Carla and his roommate Alex, he's the only one to feel any remorse for tormenting the titular man in the suitcase for gold. When he tries to stop them by calling the police, Carla destroys his phone and then bludgeons him with a wrench which sends him to the hospital. Thankfully he survives unlike Carla and Alex.
