Creepshow is a horror anthology series on Shudder that ran for four seasons from 2019 to 2023 with 23 episodes. It presents two short scary stories per episode in a comic book style, drawing from classic horror authors and new writers. A few segments feature a lesbian couple or brief notes on race and power, but these stay secondary to monster, revenge, and twist plots.
