The following was taken from the "Fluffy" disambiguation page. I'm sure it doesn't belong there, but I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. Does it merit its own article? Urocyon 23:47, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

This sypnosis contains spoilers.


In the movie Creepshow, an old crate is discovered by a janitor called Mike under the stairs in a college when he accidentally loses a coin. He calls a professor called Dexter Stanley to come and have a look at it. Dexter's friend Henry Northrup happens to be married to a very annoying woman named Wilma who makes Henry's life a misery and he usually has a grim fantasy in which she is dead. After Dexter and Mike open up the crate, they hear a strange noise and Mike puts his arm inside the crate which proves to be a fatal mistake. He is dragged into the crate and devoured by the creature while Dexter runs away. He runs into a student called Charlie and he doesn't believe Dexter's story at first until he sees the mess the thing made in the basement. Charlie approaches the crate in a classic horror movie way (the crate had ended up back where Mike found it) and Charlie finds one of Mike's mangled shoes and gives it to Dexter. Suddenly the creature appears again and slashes Charlie. It then turns its attention to Dexter but Charlie hits it with a wrench and then it kills Charlie before he can get away. Dexter manages to escape and then he goes to his friend Henry for help. Henry actually believes Dexter's story and comes up with a plan to get rid of Wilma. He puts Dexter to sleep and goes to the college by himself (what a brave guy) and he removes all the evidence of the mess the monster made and Wilma finds a note asking her to meet Henry at the college. Henry uses violent force to get Wilma to go near the crate. After some harsh words are exchanged the creature awakes from its nap and snatches Wilma. Henry then finds a padlock and locks up the crate with caution. He drives it out to a lake and throws it in the water. Henry then tells Dexter that the monster is dead but the monster is clearly not dead as it escapes from its wooden prison and the last thing we see is its evil eyes.

Fluffy appears in the fourth segment titled The Crate which is based on a short story by Stephen King.


I'm not sure I understand the following This is used to the advantage of a college professor (Hal Holbrook) who, intending to use it on his wife ("scream queen" Adrienne Barbeau), stars as a deserving victim of the beast. He didn't get killed by the beast. His wife did. PrometheusX303 09:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

The man is the last story wasn't the landlord, he was a businessman of some sort. The building was some sort of co-op. There was a young black man who appeared to be a maintaineance man, but judging from the way he was spoken down to by the businessman, he probably wasn't the landlord.
