Creepshow
Also known as: Creep Show
Creepshow Strain Overview
Creepshow is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with potent effects and distinctive flavor characteristics. While its exact origin story varies among sources, it is consistently described as a carefully crafted cross between two well-established parent strains, resulting in a plant that exhibits traits from both indica and sativa lineages.
The strain's name references the 1982 horror anthology film directed by George A. Romero, reflecting its somewhat intense effects and the dramatic appearance of its buds. Creepshow plants typically produce dense, conical-shaped flowers with a striking visual presentation. The buds are often dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and adorned with vibrant orange pistils. The visual appeal combined with its aromatic profile has contributed to its popularity among both recreational users and cannabis connoisseurs.
Creepshow is noted for its complex terpene profile that produces a distinctive aroma and flavor combination. The strain has gained recognition for providing a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. Its relatively high THC content makes it a potent choice for experienced users, while its balanced effects have made it appealing to those seeking both mental and physical benefits without being completely sedating.

Creepshow Strain Growing Information
Creepshow is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest usually occurs in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant structure but some sativa stretching during flowering. Yield is average to above average with proper care. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
