The Walking Dead's Greg Nicotero Is Rebooting Horror Anthology Creepshow

Looks like I'm going to have to sign up for Shudder.

The AMC-owned horror-focused streaming service announced Wednesday that it's rebooting the beloved horror anthology Creepshow as a series overseen by The Walking Dead's makeup effects wizard Greg Nicotero.

Nicotero -- who has directed some of The Walking Dead's finest hours -- will executive-produce and creative-direct the anthology series, as well as direct its first episode. Each episode will be helmed by a different director. Nicotero's KNB EFX Group will handle the creature and make-up effects. The series is slated to premiere in 2019.

The first Creepshow movie came out in 1982 and was a collaboration between two horror icons. Author Stephen King wrote the screenplay and acted in one of the shorts, " The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," and Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero -- a man without whom Nicotero's career would not exist -- was behind the camera. It contained five short stories linked together through a comic-book frame device. It spawned two sequels and a comic series. Nicotero worked on Creepshow 2 early in his career as a makeup effects artist.

The new Creepshow will adapt the spirit of the original into a TV format, keeping the movie's tagline "The Most Fun You'll Ever Have Being Scared."

The horror anthology subgenre is making a comeback, with The Shape of Water's Guillermo del Toro producing one for Netflix and Get Out's Jordan Peele producing a Twilight Zone reboot for CBS All Access.

Shudder has a large library of horror films (including exclusives like Rob Zombie's 31 and the infamous Kuso) and is available on Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast and as an add-on to Amazon Prime.
