A recent episode of the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series looked back at director Fred Dekker’s second film, the 1987 classic The Monster Squad. With the new episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw, we’re pointing the spotlight at Dekker’s feature directorial debut, the 1986 sci-fi horror zombie movie / creature feature (and briefly, slasher) Night of the Creeps (watch it HERE)! You can check out the episode in the embed above.
Written by Dekker, Night of the Creeps has the following synopsis:
Humor mixes with horror in this chiller about a college campus being ravaged by gruesome creatures that turn their victims into zombies.
The night of the formal is finally here for Chris, Cindy, and J.C. It’s going to be the best night of their lives. But, tonight is also the NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. From a world unknown comes a nightmare unimagined. First, they are under you, around you, inside of you, then, you’re dead. Zombies, exploding heads, creepy crawlies, they are a new breed of terror; a different kind of horror. The Creeps are taking over.
You never had a night like this!
The film stars Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Whitlow, Tom Atkins, and Allan Kayser.
