Oh what a treat to have Tom Atkins in Creepshow! Something Burrowed is fairly classic Creepshow territory involving the caretaking of a vicious creature and some vengeance.

The second tale is very similar to a Tales From the Crypt episode, Korman's Kalamity, starring Colleen Camp, Cynthia Gibb (who apparently has been banished to making only christmas movies these days), and Harry Anderson. Despite being longer than the Tales from the Crypt episode, the story isn't as developed, and there sadly are no fun monsters chomping on people. Sadly a bit disappointing, but anything after Tom Atkins is bound to be.
