Ahh, Remember… ‘Night Of The Creeps’

Melissa:

1959… lovers lane… you’ve got a foxy lady in your car… all of a sudden something falls out of the sky. What do you do? Well, you ignore the hot chick and check it out of course!

Chris (Jason Lively) and J.C. are your average dorky college kids… When Chris locks his eyes on Cindy (Jill Whitlow) he decides that he will do anything to impress her. That’s when he and J.C. cook up the scheme to pledge a fraternity to impress her, and things start to go haywire!

If you like ‘Slither’ then you will love the movie that it ripped off… Yep!   ‘Night Of The Creeps’. See… when I said that things start to go haywire… I mean alien slug like creatures invade the campus and when they enter a humans mouth, they lay eggs in the brain and the human walks around like a zombie. Hmmm… ‘Slither’ definitely didn’t steal any of their ideas from here…

What movie would be complete without the bad guy who gets killed. This one is an extra treat! Brad, the Bradster ( See, you hate him already!) is played by Allan Kayser. YES! BUBBA HIGGINS FROM ‘MAMA’S FAMILY’! Enjoy that death scene folks!

They make a couple of subtle references to the sci-fi B movies of the 50’s in the film, such as Corman University, which is after Roger Corman a.k.a “The King of the B’s”. He was a director in the 50’s.

Det. Ray Cameron (Tom Atkins) makes a ridiculous amount of references in the film… his lines are not exactly clever… but man are they funny! If you look at the bathroom wall that J.C. is crawling for before he gets infested, it says “Go Monster Squad”. For those that don’t know, Fred Dekker, the director, also gave us the super awesome ‘Monster Squad’! And yes Travis, the wolf man DOES have nards!

I noticed another weird thing too. Did anyone else notice the first naked infested guy had no junk? Um, you can see peoples head split open, but hide the junk! That makes no sense! (Not that I would actually like to see it! lol)

One more silly notice, and then I will shut up… One cop apparently had time to stop for donuts! Every single crime scene the guy is eating a donut! Maybe put the donut down and look for clues… That’s a good idea!

Dick Miller makes his normal cameo, since the guys been in over one hundred movies. Actually, one hundred sixty nine I believe! You’d think he should be a red carpet celebrity with that kind of screen time.

There are two different endings to ‘Night Of The Creeps’. I won’t give them away for all of you that have missed out on this film, but I will say this… BOTH ARE PRETTY AWESOME!

So please… Oh please, Oh please, Oh Please… PUT THIS OUT ON DVD!!! It is only available on VHS! I need a widescreen ‘Night Of The Creeps’ on DVD to have and to hold! Let’s make this happen!

MAKE MELISSA HAPPY!!! The end.
