Description

The night of the prom becomes the "Night of the Creeps" for a small-town college with a big-time problem! No one ever said college would be easy...Johnny (Ken Heron) and his girlfriend Pam (Alice Cadogan), the perfect co-ed couple, are enjoying Lover's Lane one evening in 1959 when suddenly Johnny's attention is diverted to an evil light. He leaves to explore it, never to return again. Twenty-seven years later, when two college boys, Chris (Jason Lively) and J.C. (Steve Marshall), pledge a tempestuous fraternity, they encounter Johnny's frozen body. When life returns to Johnny's corpse, a reign of terror begins as the mysterious" creeps" leave his brain, permeating the bodies of other frat boys and sorority girls, making zombies of their prey!

    Great horror/sci-fi movie! It hits all the right notes. I loved this movie as a kid, and I love it as an adult.

  • Great 80's classic.

    A classic B-Movie that is sure to be remembered as one of the great horror/zombie/college movies of the decade. Also the cop played by Tom Atkins steals the show as he totally rocks in this movie.

  • Cheesy Yay!

    Awesome classic horror slug-gore fest. This is the movie that eventually inspired the more recent "Slither" and if it didn't inspire it then it had to have been taken almost directly from it because they are the same movie for the most part. Either way its a lot of fun, a lot of gross and a lot of 80'sness so get ready for cheesy fun.

  • Looooove it

    I first saw this flick on VHS back in the late 80's. It has remained one of my favorites ever since. The 1959 B&W scene is really cool. Lots of good 50's music is heard as well. Now let's get to the great Tom Atkins. He is absolutely one of my favorite actors and sites this little gem as one of his favs he's ever made. Night Of The Creeps is one fun movie to watch over and over again. THRILL ME!!!!!!!!

  • "classic"

    As a kid, I found the leeches that fell out of the zombie heads to be quite terrifying. The movie has more activity in it then one would expect. 50's flashback scenes, an old murderer comes back from the dead, a zombie cat, and a ridiculous detective with entering-the-scene lines like "Thrill me". Mostly, though, it's a long setup for a bus to overturn dodging a zombie dog, killing all the stupid frat guys inside so they can zombify and go harass their waiting dates. 80's college comedy + flamethrowers and space alien zombies? What's not to like?

  • awesome flick

    For a B-type horror movie this is actually very entertaining, especially compared to some of the crap that's made today. Don't expect scares, since it's mostly humor and has a definite 80's vibe. If you want a creepy movie to scare you, this isn't it. But if you just want to watch a somewhat silly, yet entertaining horror movie, then this is for you.
