Executive producer and showrunner Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) says he’s fully onboard to bring fans more scares in season two. “For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love,” said Nicotero. “To be able to pay tribute to George A. Romero’s visionary project and have the show so embraced by fans everywhere is humbling to this horror kid from Pittsburgh. I couldn’t be more pleased and look forward to continuing the series with more ghoulish delight.”
