21 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 13: NIGHT OF THE CREEPS 1986 (COLUMBIA)

Great cult classic horror film from the mid 80;s stars Jason Lively and Steve Marshall as two young college nerds who discover that alien parasites are taking over humans and making zombies out of them.

Lovely Jill Whitlow is the young woman who falls for Lively's character of Chris and the always wonderful Tom Atkins is Det. Ray Cameron, whose classic delivery of the line "Thrill Me" is now iconic.

It seems these parasites enter the brain and incubate making their host a zombie, then whe ready they burst out of the head and go slithering everywhere. This is an excellent example of high quality low budget filmmaking so sadly lacking today.

The cast works very well together and the ending on the disc is the ending director fred Dekker wanted in the first place, which is pretty cool. Highly Recommended and fun 80's horror. "Good news girls, your dates are here. The bad news is they're dead."
