Written and Directed by Fred Dekker (who the year after this would direct and help write Monster Squad). Starring Jason Lively, Jill Whitlow, Tom Atkins, Steve Marshall, Suzanne Snyder, Allan Kayser, David Paymer, Vic Polizos and Evelyne Smith.

Plot: College students must fight alien slugs that turn people into Zombies.

This is one of my all time favorites! It follows a pair of best friends that are super likable. They are lovable losers just trying to make it in the world. One has a crush on a girl out of his league. The dialogue is great, really funny and very realistic. “Brad” is the quintessential 80’s bad guy and it work’s great. A lot of the other frat guys are clearly 40 years old though. Several characters are named after famous directors like Cameron, Romero, Cronenberg, and Hooper, which is a fantastic nod to the genre.

Pretty Creepy in parts with nice innovation and great effects. The movie followed rules and had good “Freddy Claws”. No one was like “”hey, that’s not happening”, and no one stood in anyone else’s way. We love the protagonists of the movie! Especially J.C. and his sincere recorded message to Chris. I can’t get enough Cynthia (played by the gorgeous Jill Whitlow)! Also, starring the lovely Suzanne Snyder who I adored in Weird Science, Return of the Living Dead 2 and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

This movie has one of the most heartbreaking scenes in a horror movie ever for both me and Tara. Night of the Creeps is a lot of fun to watch though, very engaging, realistic and highly re-watchable. We really really really want you to watch this movie. It is great! We both give it a 91/100!!!

how badass is this….kinda hot too….see what I did there.

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
