Guns used in the film Creepshow.
The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill
12 Gauge Double-Barreled Shotgun
Luckless farmer Jordy Verrill (Stephen King), slowly turning into an alien plant creature, uses a 12 gauge shotgun to commit suicide. A briefly seen 12 gauge shotgun is also used by a hitman to kill Peter Yarbro (Peter Messer) in Father's Day, who himself carries such a gun in the crook of his arm before being killed.
Something to Tide You Over
Colt Detective Special/(Charter Arms Undercover?)
Richard Vickers (Leslie Nielsen) pulls what appears to be a Colt Detective Special from an ankle holster and uses it to force Harry Wentworth (Ted Danson) to bury himself in the sand below the high tide line. Later he uses it (to no effect) against the waterlogged zombies of his victims.
I believe this gun might actually be a Charter Arms Undercover. In the first picture shown: 1) note how the grips envelop the frame almost behind the hammer, more consistant with Charter Arms wooden grips, 2) the cylinder lines up as though it has 5 shots instead of 6. 3) the front sights look a little high and the muzzel looks a bit larger compared to the barrel more consistant with a Charter Arms.
If you view the deleted scene from this video starting at 3:05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl1iYBZACJQ you get a clearer side view of the gun. The size of the frame and front sight looks more like a Charter Arms Undercover to my eye.
However, the fact that the gun, in the movie, fires 6 times instead of just 5, suggests that it might still be considered a Detective Special
The Crate
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Professor Henry Northrup (Hal Holbrook) fantasizes about killing his annoying wife Wilma (Adrienne Barbeau) multiple times. The first time, at a posh faculty mixer, Henry whips out what appears to be a long-barreled Smith & Wesson Model 29 and shoots Wilma through the forehead, to thunderous applause from the other party guests - only to snap out of his daydream and realize his obnoxious wife still lives. Ironically, Holbrook starred in the Dirty Harry sequel Magnum Force, made famous by Clint Eastwood's use of the same firearm.
