Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
What is it about hitchhikers that makes them such a sure-fire bet for horror? This question is addressed in the final segment of Creepshow 2, another Stephen King-George Romero collaboration. 'The Hitchhiker' is the simplest and best of the three tales on display here, with Lois Chiles as a cheating wife who just can't seem to get rid of a hitchhiker... no matter how hard she tries. The collection gets off to a slow start with 'Old Chief Wood'n Head,' a sleepy story of Native American justice. 'The Raft' is a passable teens-in-peril number, but it worked better on the page than on screen. Romero adapted the King stories but emphatically did not direct, which accounts for the drop-off from the kicky fun of the first Creepshow. King appears as a dimwitted truck driver--a foreshadowing of Maximum Overdrive? In any case, this one's for diehard fans only. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - what can I say.... it's an old classic to me
This is by far the best of the three Creepshows. 1 was ok, and 3 was disappointing at best. This one I really liked, especially since I remember seeing it as a kid. Perhaps that might make be slightly bias :)
Rating:  - Terrific sequel!
In a small town in Main, a young boy named Billy eagerly awaits for his copy of his favorite comic book "Creepshow". The Creep (Played by Tom Savini and voiced by Joe Silver) arrives with his truck as he magically gives him his comic and tells the viewer three ghastly stories. The first story "Chief Wooden'head" tells a modern supernatural western tale of revenge as two kind elderly store owners (George Kennedy and Dorothy Lamour) are offered a great deal by a rich Native American man ...

Rating:  - story #2
The raft is the best of the three. This is the only one that creeped me out! This is creephow right? Then why didn't the others short movies pull it off? Story #1 was more about teachin us a lesson of what goes around comes around, which is fine but make it scary. That silly story with Sephen King from creepshow one was more entertaining than this one. And that last story was just too predictable. So go with creepshow 1 first and if u do decide to try this skip to the RAFT it was scary, nasty, gory ... Read More
Rating: - GREAT flick that brought back WONDERFUL memories!!
I had been anxiously anticipating viewing this movie for a long time,once I finally figured out what it was called!!For decades after I first watched it,I and ALL of my life-long friends(and family)would often approach each other with a creepy sounding:"Thanks for the ride Lady,thanks for the ride!!" Everyone that I know of who's watched this,has found doing this to be HILLARIOUS!!Timeless and Hillarious,since we've been doing this so often,for so long!!Needless to say,the "Hitch-hiker"episode was fabulous..I ...

Rating: - Best scary movies of its time!
I watched this movie as a teen & I still remember the Hitchiker & the raft. They are all good & creepy. I LOVE this show & have to have it! I'll admit it was better as a teen, but I still love it & it's one of my favorites.
