A new book about Shudder’s Creepshow is coming out, and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett wrote its afterword. This book, titled Creepshow: From Script To Scream, primarily focuses on Shudder’s Creepshow – that show is based off the ’80s film directed by the late George A. Romero and written by horror author Stephen King.
Kirk Hammett tweet’d about this new book, writing, “Stoked to share the announcement for Shudder’s Creepshow: From Script to Scream book! Such a great group of contributors! (Including me)”
