In anticipation of The Creepshow, their Stephen King film festival this weekend in Chicago, The Losers’ Club is unlocking one of their older episodes from the Derry Private Library. It’s a volume of the Stephen King Archives, a recurring Patreon feature that sees co-hosts Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Jenn Adams discussing King’s unpublished short stories, long-forgotten interviews, dusty manuscripts, and alternate versions of your favorite tales.
This particular chapter is dedicated to the uncollected stories from the Creepshow franchise. Specifically, 1976’s “Weeds” that inspired “The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill”; 1979’s “The Crate” that inspired, well, “The Crate”; and the unused “Pinfall” segment that should have been in Creepshow 2. Together, they get into the weeds — pun, most certainly intended — of the prose and crawl through the context of which they were published.
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers wind back the clock on the last five years of The New Stephen King Renaissance. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock hundreds of hours of content in The Barrens (Patreon) — from commentary tracks to Dark Tower spinoffs to episodes like this.
