Details: | Dress as a zombie and participate in this years BEVO ZOMBIE WALK, and youll get to see Fred Dekkers campy cult-classic homage to 50s sci-fi and horror, Night of the Creeps!
Night of the Creeps, Fred Dekkers spoof\/tribute to 50s-era horror and science fiction, died an unheralded death at the box office back in the slasher-centric 80s, but it developed a passionate cult following in the ensuing decades due to the films loopy charms. The premise is prime Creature Feature materialin 1959 an alien experiment containing vile, sluglike organisms that possess their hosts crashes to Earth, where one of the slugs takes over a young Lovers Lane habitu; flash-forward to 1986, when hapless nerds Jason Lively (brother of Gossip Girls Blake Lively) and Steve Marshall discover the corpse, cryogenically frozen in their college lab, and accidentally free it as part of a prank. The body unleashes its extraterrestrial passenger, which proceeds to infect the student population at a breakneck pace. Dekker juggles his humor and horror with a fair amount of skill, though for every inspired moment, theres a groaner or two (it was the 80s, after all); the presence of genre vet Tom Atkins (The Fog, the 2009 My Bloody Valentine) lends a proper degree of grit. Night of the Creeps was, and remains, a refreshingly quirky alternative to the franchise-heavy studio horror of the decade. |
