History YMMV / Creepshow2

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** The scene between the Spruces and Ben Whitemoon at the start of "Old Chief Wood'nhead", where Ben leaves his tribal treasures with the Spruces as collateral for their debts. Even more so when Ben greets the Chief as if greeting an old friend, and Martha profusely thanks Ben for proving her pessimism wrong. This makes what happens to the Spruces all the more sad.
** In a way, Chief Wood'nhead killing Sam and his buddies after they murdered the Spruces in cold blood and stole Ben’s tribal jewels. The Chief was avenging the people who'd taken care of him for years and repaying the kindness of a man who considered him a part of the Spruce clan.
** Ben finding the treasures returned, then rushing to the Spruces’ to find the Chief with Sam’s scalp in hand and his warpaint freshly done up in Sam’s blood. Understanding what happened, he has this to say:
-->'''Ben:''' ...now... may your spirit rest, old warrior.
** A tiny one in the raft; when Randy tries to dive in after Rachel to save her, Deke instinctively grabs him to keep his best friend from dying as well. Aww, he does care.

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: Per [[https://natewatchescoolmovies.wordpress.com/2015/10/10/a-chat-with-actor-holt-mccallany/ an interview]] actor Holt [=McCallany=] had auditioned to play a {{fratbro}}, but a producer offered him the role of Sam Whitemoon. [=McCallany=] pointed out that he was a blue-eyed White guy of Irish ancestry and could not play a Native American character. The producer said it would be fine if he wore make-up and a wig, and they would write him off as being of mixed-race. [[SpecialEffectsFailure The results leave a lot to be desired]].

* GeniusBonus: Chief Whitemoon's car is 1952 Pontiac Fleetleader. The Pontiac car brand was named after Chief Pontiac, an 18th century Native American chief of the Odawa ethnicity who aided the settlers during the Seven Years War due to dissatisfaction with policies enforced by the British.

** In addition to the brand's name, the Fleetleader was a Pontiac model that was only built and sold in Canada, who's capital city of Ottawa was loosely named after the Odawa people.

* WhatAnIdiot: Annie Lansing. If only she hadn't fled, she could've avoided a lot of trouble; both legal and supernatural and her poor Mercedes would've stayed in one piece. Let's see here:
** '''You'd Expect:''' Her to keep her eyes on the road.
** '''Instead:''' She drives while distracted.
** '''You'd Expect:''' Her to stay at the scene and tell the investigators what she saw.
** '''Instead:''' She flees the scene.
** '''You'd Expect:''' Her to keep her car doors locked.
** '''Instead:''' She repeatedly tries to kill the zombie hitchhiker.
** '''You'd Expect:''' Going to the hospital after suffering a concussion.
** '''Instead:''' She goes home.

* UncannyValley: The human characters in the animated sequences look creepier than the Creeper himself.
