  • What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 2John LandisJohn Landis, a well-known director and father of past Creep Max Landis, has directed some of the most successful comedies, including Animal House, Trading Places, and Coming to America. While directing his segment for 1983’s The Twilight Zone: The Movie, a helicopter accident tragically resulted in the deaths of actor Vic Morrow and child actors Myca Dinh Le and Renee Shin-Yi Chen. In 1987, Landis was charged with involuntary manslaughter but was ultimately acquitted. In this episode, we discuss why he is a Creep.
