Creepshow VS Strategy Guide

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! Man, if it hasn’t become clear at this point how much I love this day than I don’t Know what to tell ya, and Since this is my Favorite time of the year, I decided what better way to share why I love it than by analyzing my Favorite Horror Movie of all time, as well as my favorite movie in general, Creepshow! Now this is going to be including all supernatural threats from Creepshows 1-3, and explaining how to be OP in it, I hope you Enjoy!

Building Tier:

This marks the First and Only Tier of the series, Creepshow is an anthology horror series, and naturally because of that, features a large variety of Ghosts, Goblins, Ghouls and other creatures with unique powers and comparable stats. In terms of strength, the monsters are Building Level, due to feats such as Chief Woodenhead being able to tank numerous blasts from a shotgun without damage, and The Lakebed Monster being able to completely dissolve a human in seconds. In Speed the fastest character in the verse is The Radio Being, who is a sentient radio wave, who can bare minimum travel Much faster than sound, and that is consistent with the Green being able to travel as a meteorite. So Generally Building Level Hypersonic is the way to go. Now going into abilities, uhhhh, there are a lot of abilities to cover here that make a verse this low very haxy and hard to deal with. Granthum has Telekinesis, which can allow him to shield himself and hurl attacks back to sender. The Wendigo has insane survivability, being able to survive 127 years with no food or water, and being trapped at the bottom of 70 feet of water, meaning taking advantage of biological dependencies won’t work. You are going to have to have some form of Anti-Stealth to deal with the Beach Ghouls, who can teleport and generate so much fog they were able to sneak past an advanced camera security system undetected. That said the verse itself Also does not have a weakness to Stealth as The Lakebed Monster has in incredible sense of smell that can detect foes from miles away, and Chief Woodenhead has expert level tracking skills. Numerous characters in the series have some degree of Regeneration, the best example being The Hitchhiker who can continue to fight even after having his entire body mulched practically into paste. Past even that though, is the sheer number of non-corporeal beings, such as The Green which is a hive minded plant organism that spreads and grows on anything it physically touches at a cellular level, and needs to be destroyed on such a level. Even more impressive than that however is The Radio Being, who, while unable to directly attack, is a sentient Radio Wave who can’t be physically harmed, as well as the fact she is clairvoyant and really manipulative so she can still get you indirectly. Also if you thought The Green was a dangerous thing to touch, The Lakebed Monster is a logia being made of some tar like corrosive acid, and can dissolve anything on earth in an instant through contact. The Verse also contains a hive minded army of cockroaches with human intelligence, an intangible ghost who can scare people to death, and a mad scientist whose inventions can reality warp a town, manipulate memory, and make people invisible and inaudible. The most dangerous being in the verse though is The Creepshow Creep, our undead host, who can fly, summon Storms, resurrect the dead, shapeshift, and has powers such as Transmutation, Photokinesis and Forced Empathy.

So This verse is extremely volatile, especially at such a low tier, so it seems to me that we really shouldn’t be focusing on fighting these characters physically, the regen, intangibility and non-corporeal abilities make that simply too difficult, and instead we should seek characters who have Hax that can deal with them, as Hax Resistances are not very common in this verse. Also given how dangerous characters like The Lakebed Monster and The Green are to touch, in addition to numerous potential oneshot hax, Ideally you would want some schemer intelligent character who doesn’t put their body at risk.

Ryuk:

Ryuk from the Death Note Series would be a perfect pick due to perfectly encapsulating this strategy. As a Shinigami, Ryuk is completely Invisible and Intangible, and thus would not be able to be hit or detected by any of the characters in the series. As many probably Know, Ryuk’s main power is the ability to use Fate Manipulation to cause anyone to Die, provided he knows their name and appearance. No one In the Verse could truly resist this hax, that said given those two requirements it could take awhile to pull it off, and if you were going war of attrition style, I would choose,

Peketo:

Hailing from the much under appreciated series, The Black Heart, Peketo has stats that match the monsters of Creepshow in strength, and while he’s lacking in speed compared to them, it doesn’t even matter. Peketo would be Impossible for this verse to ever Truly Defeat, as he, I kid you Not, has a Mid-Godly Healing Factor, so even if they completely destroyed every trace of him, he’d just come right back and stab them. Which is Bad as his stabs can harm a victim's soul, allowing him to harm the ghost Noroko, since no one in the verse resists Soul Hax, they are doomed to lose the war of attrition. 

But there are more efficient ways to win than war of attrition, for an alternate method...

Memoryhead:

Memoryhead from Undertale would be extremely overpowered in the Verse, being able to protect himself from basically any threat due not only to his regeneration, but his Intangibility making him practically untouchable. And this thing can attack back, HARD. Able to Mess with someone's Mind to throw them off, destroy their soul with danmaku style soul attacks which no one could endure, or even flat out absorb something like The Green and quickly spread out of control and take over the planet in mere days. All that said, Memoryhead cannot fight the foes of this verse Directly, For THAT, I’ll turn our attention to...

Bunshinsaba:

Bunshin is an Extremely dangerous Youkai Spirit who has a lot of helpful fighting powers like Flight, Teleportation and Telekinesis to allow her to casually combat any of the verse’s normal fighters. Her Hax are very well rounded as Bunshin is able to Possess her foes and use them to destroy others, allowing her to very slowly use the verse against each other, even if she were to find someone putting up too much of a fight. Bunshin has Soul Hax to deal with The Green and any Ghosts, She's got Immersion if she needs to slay The Radio Being, and even if none of that works there is no character in this verse she couldn't simply seal away into the Demonic Abyss, her trademark ability.

There Is however One Other who i think is More Broken than Even Bunshin, are you people ready for this? I’m Not...

E.T.:

Yes, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, the least scary movie alien, yet easily one of the most scary if you really think about it. E.T. can Mind Control people or completely Drain Away their Lifeforce from vast distances away, which in and of itself already gives him the means to take down any of the fighters in the entire verse without having to even be in their vicinity. He can’t Lifedrain a Ghost, but he can mind control them, he can’t Mind control the Green, but he Can Lifedrain it. E.T.’s Control over Life is actually much more complex than people realize, In the movie he was able to resurrect dead flowers and even Bodily control Elliot by accident from across town. This all means there is NO Question he could simply take control of every being in the verse, living or dead, through one of his powers and have them destroy each other. And even If someone wanted to say, Fight E.T. Directly it wouldn’t work, as E.T. has powerful Telekinesis better than Granthums to keep them at bay, Regeneration incase he does get hurt, and from there, he just haxes em. Also E.T. is like MASSIVELY more intelligent than anyone in the series, able to create interstellar communication devices out of nothing more than garbage.
So Yeah, E.T. is Scary Afterall….Happy Halloween!
