Billy (Creepshow)

Billy is a fictional child from Creepshow and Creepshow 2 who has an obsession with the movies' titular comic books. In the original Creepshow film, he was portrayed by Joe King, the son of legendary horror novelist Stephen King, who had supporting roles in both movies (Jordy Verrill in 1/5 of Creepshow, and then in a smaller role as a Trucker in Creepshow 2).

Creepshow

As the movie begins, Billy is being scolded by his father (played by Tom Atkins) for having possession of the sick horror comic, Creepshow. He throws it in the bin and then it is recovered by a creepy host, who relates the five stories.

At the outcome of the movie, we learn that Billy is torturing his father using a voodoo doll he purchased using a coupon, as punishment for him throwing away his comic the previous night.

Creepshow 2

At the beginning of Creepshow 2, Billy is seen awaiting a delivery of the Creepshow comics. He seems determined to get the first copy fresh off the presses, and "The Creep" throws him a batch. Throughout the film, The Creep (played by Tom Savini) is seen in animated form, as is Billy. One day Billy falls foul of a gang of bullies, and they squash his Venus Fly Trap bulbs then give chase throughout the neighbourhood. At the outcome of the film, the bullies corner Billy, but are then attacked and eaten by Billy's man eating friends.

In the live action scenes he was played by Domenick John. In the animated scenes he was voiced by an uncredited actor.
