Night of the Creeps
The good news is your date is here. The bad news is...He's dead.
Directed by Fred Dekker
Produced by TriStar Pictures, Delphi V
A gleefully campy sci-fi horror-comedy that blends 1950s B-movie aesthetics with 1980s slasher tropes, prioritizing irreverent fun over genuine scares.
In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies.
