Night Of The Creeps - Director's Cut (1986) ****

Night Of The Creeps (1986) truly has it all—zombies, exploding heads, creepy crawlies, and a date for the formal. It's classic, Spanky. Thrill me!

It has all of the above plus Tom Atkins, aliens, killer slugs, axe murder, shotguns, a flame thrower, hot babes, dorks, frat boys, The Bradster, awesome one liners, '80s fashion, a B&W '50s intro, male leads that aren't afraid to show their feelings for each other, a dorky male lead who gets the hot sorority girl, a handicapped best friend, a stereotypical Asian man, a token Black police officer, characters named after horror/sci-fi directors (Romero, Carpenter Hooper, Cameron, Cronenberg, Landis, Raimi, Miner), sweet makeup from Howard Berger and Robert Kurtzman, killer practical effects and gore, more than one classic poster, Dick Miller, Tom Atkins...
