Question: How much involvement did Stephen King have in the making of this film? He wrote the script for the first Creepshow movie; however, for this film, the screenwriter is credited as George A. Romero. I know the middle story "The Raft" is based on a story King had written previously, but what about the other two, "Old Chief Woodenhead" and "The Hitchhiker"? Did King have any involvement in the making of those stories as well, or were they made up entirely by Romero?

Answer: From what I understand, "Old Chief Woodenhead" and "The Hitchhiker" were both loosely outlined by King. But he ended up stepping back and having little involvement in the film beyond writing rough outlines since the budget was being cut drastically and George A. Romero wasn't directing.
