Just bought the bluray and yes, I'd agree The Raft is the best part... I also prefer Creeepshow 2 to the original as a whole but I'm a sucker for comedy/horror sequels made in the late 80s - Fright Night 2, ROTLD 2, House 2, Critters 2, Evil Dead 2, Return of the Swamp Thing... They all tick boxes that were missed in their respective predecessors... I even have a soft spot for Return to Salem's Lot...!
Judging by the MOVIE, I'll go with the first one, with Chief Woodenhead, for the following reasons:
I'm a sucker for revenge stories
I have my share of White Guilt over the whole Native Americans on reservations thing, so this story makes me feel good
I'm a George Kennedy fan and I love that sweet old character he played
The movie screwed up the ending of The Raft.
Judging by the STORIES, I have to say The Raft. It's always one of my favorite stories to re-read out of Skeleton Crew, and I've read it dozens of times. It's an original plot, and the writing is as tight as anything King has ever done.

That was in The Hitch-hiker, the final story.
