No Hope November - Day 11 - "Night of The Creeps"

If you want a perfect example of a movie that appeals to horror/sci-fi geeks, look no further than today's entry of No Hope November. "Night of The Creeps" is a 1986 release by Fred Dekker, a hero to the aforementioned movie geeks. Dekker was also responsible for the cult classic "Monster Squad." Night of The Creeps is about an alien that crashed to earth in the 50's and infected a college student. Then in the 80's his cryogenically frozen body is thawed out by pledges to a fraternity and all of a sudden these little alien critters are taking over everyone and pretty much turning them into zombies. Horror legend Tom Atkins plays a police detective in the middle of the mayhem. Atkins is amazing as usual, and the rest of the cast is solid as well. This flick has all of the cliche elements that make 80's era B movies wonderful. A college setting, parties, zombies, campiness, cool creatures, gory effects, and overall ridiculousness. It's just swell. So if you want insight into what makes a horror junkie smile, watch Night of The Creeps and discover for yourself. It's loaded with goodness.
