Here's how I rank them. There will be some spoilers ahead, obviously.
1. Something to Tide You Over - Leslie Nielson plays a delightfully evil villain whose elaborate murder plot results in some really creepy waterlogged zombies. 2. The Crate - A cool looking monster, great acting by Hal Holbrook, and some really funny moments in which his character fantasizes about killing his annoying wife. 3. The Raft - By far the scariest of all the segments, featuring a very interesting lake monster that captures its victims and dissolves their flesh, consuming four partying college kids who go swimming. 4. Old Chief Woodenhead - An overly drawn out setup with a somewhat rushed and disappointing payoff is made more watchable by some cool kills by a cigar store Indian statue and a very entertaining performance by Holt McCallany as a vain and arrogant asshole. 5. Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill - The title gives away the sad ending and Stephen King's over-the-top acting as a backwoods buffoon got a little testing, but it's a great premise with some cool looking effects with killer weeds that grow from fallen meteor goop. 6. The Hitchhiker - This segment is very redundant, monotonous, and repetitive, with predictable occurrences that basically happen over and over but I like how the ghostly hitchhiker who stalks the woman who accidentally ran him over looks more and more gruesome every time we see him. 7. Father's Day - This story about a vengeful zombie who returns from the grave to terrorize his family of rich snobs is just too basic and generic, with the somewhat shocking final frame being the best part. 8. They're Creeping Up On You - As cool as it was seeing E.G. Marshall's abusive tycoon character getting his just desserts in his futuristic looking penthouse apartment, this segment is mostly just gross and only scary to someone who is afraid of bugs, which I'm not.

I hated Creepshow 2
I'd have to look at the Raft again --I don't remember it well.
Something to Tide You Over and the Crate were the best in the first.
There's no irony in the stories though.
In the Crate, the fact that the creature only comes out because of the nagging wife is the irony but they lack the surprise element of EC comics.

Didn't wanna include Creepshow 3? Nah. And if I did, they would all be dead last in no real order.

I would definitely recommend checking out The Raft again, it's by far the best segment of the second film and makes the whole movie worth it. And I agree about the lack of irony in the stories, being an avid reader of the EC horror comics from the 50's.

The Crate Something to Tide You Over The Raft The Hitchhiker Old Chief Woodenhead Lonesome Death of Jody Verrill They're Creeping Up on You Father's Day
Funny how 2's stories are a bit more consistent in quality even though I prefer the first movie overall.

I like all of the other segments in both movies... but the segment in part 1 with Jordy just sticks out and is silly. Not my favorite segment...

The King family are wretched actors. Sadly Stevie refuses to admit it and continues to torment viewers with his wretched attempt to be an actor. At least Joe figured it out and didn't try after his stint as the kid with the voodoo doll in Creepshow. Joe Hill is an excellent writer tho. Right up there with his dad. The other son must be really really lazy. Can't say I wouldn't be if my Pop was worth half a BILLION The Crate is my favorite. Love watching the drunk bitch wife get her punishment in true EC like fashion. Jordy and Creeping up on you I don't like. Because SK acting painfully bad and roaches are disgusting not scary.

I watched the making on the DVD. One guy said it was the best written of the three films!

Yeah it's really quite horrible, and clearly made for no budget by people who didn't know what they were doing. How they got the rights to the title, I don't know, but that's clearly the most professional thing they did with Creepshow 3.
