Creepshow TV Series On Shudder
Shudder is a streaming service owned by AMC Networks. It primarily focuses on streaming horror, supernatural, and thriller properties such as The Dead Lands and The Pale Door. In 2019, the executive producer for Creepshow, Greg Nicotero, said the following:
Creepshow originated as a horror anthology film in 1982, directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King. The TV series premiered on Shudder in 2019. Earlier this year, the Shudder streaming service confirmed that the show will be returning for a fourth season.

Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) created Skybound Entertainment in 2010. Additionally, there are a number of horror and supernatural titles. The Walking Dead, Haunt, and The Astounding Wolfman call Skybound their home, making the publisher a perfect fit.
