An animated Creep is shown planting some seeds in a patch of soil. Upon watering them, they grow into large flowers that have skulls replacing their pistils. After the opening credits, there is a glimpse of the issue contents before the first story begins.
“Mums“: Farm boy Jack (Brayden Benson) is offered by his garden-loving, recovering alcoholic mom Bloom (Erin Beute) to join her on a trip to visit his “mee-maw”. This is actually a cover-up so that she can get Jack away from his gun-toting, militia-obsessed, secessionist father Hank (Ethan Embry), who she calls a terrorist and a Nazi.
When a bottle of whiskey and a money clip are found in Bloom’s luggage, Hank uses the opportunity to wrangle Bloom into his truck under the guise of taking her to the police, in spite of the fact Bloom claims he planted the items there. While Hank’s lover Beth (Malone Thomas) watches Jack, Hank and his accomplice Connor (Lowrey Brown) kill Bloom, then bury her in the garden near the house, claiming that she was committed to rehab.
Meanwhile, Jack finds a packet of seeds his mother had stored away and plants them in the garden, but not before he accidentally cuts his hand on some thorns and bleeds onto the soil. Jack discovers that strange flowers have bloomed overnight, flowers that seem to have hair in-between their petals and pistils in the shape of skulls.
When Jack finds one of the farm’s pigs tangled in vines and rescues it, the vines then grab Jack’s arm and squeeze some blood out. The source of the vines is revealed to be Bloom, her dead body having mutated into a zombie/plant hybrid, who reveals what really happened to her son. Taking advantage of this, Jack tricks Beth, Hank, and Connor into being devoured by the monstrous Bloom. The next day, Jack takes Hank’s truck to visit his mee-maw, taking some of the mutated flowers with him.
“Queen Bee“: Trinice (Olivia Hawthorne), Deborah (Hannah Kepple), and Carlos (Nico Gomez) are huge fans of famous pop star Regina (Kaelynn Harris). As they argue over who is the bigger fan, Deborah reveals that Regina is nine months pregnant and has gone into labor at the local hospital where her mom (Monica Louwerens) works.
As Regina has had an entire floor of the hospital sealed off to keep out the paparazzi, the trio gain entry using Deborah’s mom’s hospital key card so they can see the baby first, with Carlos plotting to take and sell pictures of either the baby or the father. After tricking the outside security camera, the teens struggle with a security guard (Bruce Anthony Shepperson) and accidentally kill him by pushing him down the stairs.
Once inside, the trio discover that the hospital workers have mysterious glowing green eyes. When they find Regina, they witness as she is given an “epidural” that triggers her to transform into her true form: a giant, extraterrestrial, wasp-like insectoid. Regina senses their presence after Carlos photographs her and she gives off a high-pitched frequency that is revealed to be hypnotizing the staff. The frequency also hypnotizes Carlos, allowing Regina to sting him in the forehead and kill him. This prompts Deborah and Trinice to stuff their ears with cotton to protect themselves from Regina’s influence.
After fending off the mind-controlled staff, Trinice plans to use Carlos’ pictures to reveal Regina’s secret to the world. Not wanting her favorite pop star’s career ruined, even if she is a monster, Deborah turns on Trinice and willingly submits herself to Regina’s hypnosis. Sometime later, Trinice is left stuck to the wall of a makeshift hive where the hypnotized Deborah sacrifices her to Regina’s “children”: large carnivorous grubs that feed on human flesh. The Creepshow comic then closes as the next issue appears over it.
