Nicotero spoke about the show with Collider after the release of Season 4 and said, “I think, inherently, we’re paying tribute to George’s legacy all the time by continuing Creepshow. I really think that by just Creepshow existing, we’re continuing the legacy and paying tribute to it.”

The director further added that what separates Creepshow from other anthologies is that “there aren’t any rules.” He shared, “You can have one that’s a comedy, you can have one that’s suspenseful, you can have one that’s got a dark ending, you can have one that’s fun, and they all fit within the world because the original framework was it’s a comic book. So, every story can be a little bit different.”
