wrong, r e t a r d. the first one sucked

"Lot 249" is my favorite out of the three stories. Christian Slater, a beautiful Julianne Moore & Steve Buscemi great as always

As you can see, there's no "best" just favorites.
Anyway, "Cat from Hell" is the most atmospheric and unpredictable, though my favorite is "Lot 249" because, despite being a rather predictable story (except for the ending) like "Lovers Vow", it's pretty effective and thoroughly enjoyable. Not to mention the lighting and tone are superb. And of course, you gotta love Slater, Moore and Buscemi in this.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

You're kidding! I thought "Lovers Vow" was the worst. It just dragged until the obvious twist ending.

Edited, thanks.
I haven't seen the 2006 'Creepshow' so can't comment on its quality/validity, but it does sound like this was Creep 3 for all intents and purposes.

Japanese actually is where Lover's Vow comes from even from Kwaidan (1960).
And do you think this is the real Creepshow 3 and not that turkey from 2006?

Each story has at least something memorable about it, but 'Vow' is the clear winner for me - it's a modern spin on an ancient Japanese tale (The Woman Of The Snow) which shocks you with a brutal kill and intriguing 'promise' concept at the start, before settling into a well-acted love story with constant hints and allusions to the original promise, then hits you with a legendary knockout twist, and wraps up beatifully with the gargoyle statue you'd long-forgotten about coming full circle. Really great storytelling and quite haunting and tragic.
Cat From Hell is more of a grim comedy. The shot of what appears to be a real cat climbing out of the dead hitman's mouth is priceless, and I liked how they transitioned between the present day and the past by changing the lighting in a single take. Cat-cam was also visually interesting. They could have developed the 'powers' of the cat a bit more, and made more of the combat techniques of the two foes.
Lot had a killer cast but none of the characters were particularly likeable (whereas Remar made you care). Nice twisted moment when Christian Slater calmly talks to Buscemi while preparing to burn him alive, the final shot of Slater's mummy-friends popping into the doorway clutching the tools with which to pull out his brain really sticks in the memory.
Finally the wrap-around story with Blondie and the kid from Doubtfire was really well done with its funny/twisted build up and wry commentary on the stories (including calling out that the third story was the best) before giving us a grimly happy ending. The film has stayed with me for 20 years and it was amazing to see it on Netflix in HD and 5.1.

I enjoyed them pretty much the same. Each had flaws, but was intriguing nevertheless. I'd say the third segment, Lovers' Vow, is the worst, because of the sappy, predictable ending.
Boycott movies that involve real animal violence (& their directors)

I watched this movie with my Nephew recently, I could've sworn I liked it a lot more when I first saw it in 1990 but came off as pretty cheesy with the most recent viewing my nephew had a hard time sitting through it and the Cat from hell story was pretty dreadful.
Lover's Vow was the only saving grace.

Cat From Hell, super moody and tense yet full of humor. Plus it helps that the guy from the New York Dolls looks so much like Stephen King.

I like them all, but Lover's Vow would have to be my favorite. Cats are my favorite animal so The Cat From Hell should be my favorite since my favorite animal and favorite genre are put together, but I just think Lover's Vow is great.
I've been waiting for you, Ben.

There's too many idiots here that think the cat story was the best one and the other two were boring. Those people should not be watching horror movies.
i don't have a sig

Cat from Hell all the way! Loved the message of the story and that cat was one bad kitty! It was also very original idea! Then I would say Lover's Vow and Lot 249 kind of bores me. I thought it was the weakest link though I love the brain getting pulled out part! I really enjoyed the wrap around story and someone should make a movie just about that. About a woman that cooks children and has friends that enjoy that too. We can have a modern day Hansel and Gretel tale.

I liked the part with Debbie, the Hot Witch of the Darkside.

I like the cat story the most too, the hitman is hilarious.. the others are decent. HERE KITTY, I'LL GIVE YOU A NICE BOOST! THIS IS THE REAL STUFF KITTY, NOT THAT WEAK SH*T DROGAN SELLS!" -Hilarious.

I guess I am with the majority here, I liked 'Lover's Vow' but the Cat story was totally unwatchable, lot 248 wasn't great either.
My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone.

Definitely "Lover's Vow".

I also pick Lot 249.

Lot 249!
I like to think that Andy
survived the two zombies attacking him at the end! Hey he electric knifed one zombie earlier so he could plausibly handle two!

The Cat From Hell was based on a short story by Stephen King and I thought it was easily the best of the three.
The other two are meh but still pretty good. All 3 would have made solid TFTDS episodes

Lot 249 is my favorite. Christian Slater, the beautiful Julianne Moore & the always fantastic Steve Buscemi
Cat from Hell is my second favorite followed by Lover's Vow
