NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (1986) Reviews of cheesy 80s camp classic

  

Trailer [1080p]:

Choice dialogue:

Detective Cameron: “I got good news and bad news, girls. The good news is your dates are here.”
Sorority Girl: “What’s the bad news?”
Detective Cameron: “They’re dead.”

Film facts:

Though not shown theatrically upon its original release, the original ending showed Chris and Cynthia standing in front of the burning sorority house, then moved to the street where police cars race down the street.

The charred and ‘zombified’ Cameron is shuffling down the street when he suddenly stops and falls to the ground. His head explodes and the slugs scamper out and head into a cemetery, as the spaceship from the beginning of the film has returned with the aliens intending to retrieve their experiment.

Digital releases:

On 15 October 2018, Night of the Creeps was released in the UK as a dual Blu-ray and DVD combo by Eureka! Entertainment.
