‘Night of the Creeps’ Finally Getting DVD Release

Fred Dekker’s cult classic ‘Night of the Creeps’ is thought by many to be the catalyst for a whole lot of later-released alien invasion/zombie movies.   Most notably is ‘Slither,’ James Gunn’s 2006 film, which takes a whole lot of ideas first noticed in ‘Night of the Creeps’ and piles on the gore effects.

Despite the beloved nature of the 1986 film, however, it has yet to see a DVD release.   That is, until now, as Fred Dekker has answered all of our requests when we quote his movie saying ‘Thrill me!’.

Michael Felsher of Red Shirts Pictures was on a recent episode of the horror/internet talk radio show, Dead Pit Radio, where he made the announcement that Sony is officially releasing ‘Night of the Creeps’ on DVD this coming October.

What’s more, this is to be a special editon, original director’s ending and all.

Said Felsher: “It’s going to be the director’s cut with the original ending. We’re going to go balls to the wall with the special features on it.”

Horror fans all around the world are rejoicing on this day.   ‘Night of the Creeps’ has been long considered as a necessity in terms of a DVD release, but the only way any of us were able to view it on DVD were through illegal means.   Now, it’s legal.   Now, it’s official.   ‘Night of the Creeps’ on DVD is coming.
