Here's a full synopsis of the Creepshow "shorts" you saw!
by: Anonymous

The three "Creepshow" (1982) short movies you recall were called "Father's Day", "Something to Tide you Over" and "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill". Below is a full description of the three short movies. By the way, they also came out with a follow-up "Creepshow 2", you might want to look up.
=================================================
1st story: "Father's Day" -- Bedelia murders her nasty father. Her family members conspire with her to hide the murder so they can all share his estate. The father reurns from the dead on Father's Day and exacts his revenge on all his thankless family.

Story #2: "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" --Jordy Verrill (Stephen King) is a simpleton who lives alone on his family's rundown farm. A meteor crashes to Earth, landing in his field, and Jordy has aspirations to sell the meteor to the local college for a small fortune -- two hundred dollars. He tries to pick up the meteor but it's too hot, and burns his fingers. Jordy's solution is to pour a bucket of water on it, but that causes it to split in two. A dejected Jordy sees his dream of a two hundred dollar windfall go down the drain. Still, he resolves to try and sell the halves, which are now covered in a greenish liquid.

Later that night, the crater where the meteor landed is now covered in weird green plantlife, as is everything the meteor came into contact with. Jordy notices his fingers have green wounds on them, presumably from the burns, but later he discovers the alien vegetation, which has now covered the entire farm. Jordy realizes that the alien plant life is now growing on his skin.

Story #3: "Something to Tide You Over" -- Harry Wentworth (Ted Danson) is awakened by a knock at his door from Richard Vickers (Leslie Nielsen). It seems that Harry has been having an affair with Richard's wife, Becky (Gaylen Ross), and Richard has come to confront him. Instead of attacking him, Richard plays him a cassette of Becky's terrified voice begging Harry for help. Harry accompanies Richard back to his private beachfront estate, where Richard forces him at gunpoint to climb into a hole in the sand on the beach. Burying Harry up to his neck, Richard then connects a television that displays live footage of Becky, also buried up to her neck in another location on the beach. The tide is already starting to come in and wash over her face. Harry realizes that they will both be dead soon; there is no reasoning with Richard, who seems to take great delight in his revenge. Richard abandons Harry and goes back to his beach house, where he watches the drowning deaths of both Becky and Harry on the video monitors. Before the last wave covers Harry's head, he vows revenge on Richard.

Creepshow, the movie
by: torintenn

The guy covered in the green goo was Stephen King himself with one of his many cameo shots.

The guy buried up to his head in sand was none other than Ted Danson of 'Cheers' fame.

The guy that did the burying was Leslie Nielson of the Naked Gun series.
