My Thoughts
I give the Night of the Creeps: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray a B+.
I forgot how much I love 80’s horror after watching this and I can’t believe it took me so long to see it. I had heard of this film for years but had never taken the time to watch it. Better late then never, right?
Yes, it was cheezy but I totally enjoyed watching this. I liked how animatronics was used and not CGI. It is a mix of comedy and horror. A mix I wasn’t into until recently when I rediscovered the Evil Dead and became obsessed with it. It had zombies before they became mainstream and it ended with somewhat of a victory. Well somewhat as the creatures weren’t completely killed off. Last but not least, The Nerd got the girl!
Catch Night of the Creeps: Collector’s Edition out on Blu-ray June 25th!
