Now this is how you start a movie... 2 naked imps chasing down a 3rd naked imp, who stole and ejected a top secret imp experiment down to Earth in '59 (1959? NO! Luke Skywalker ya fuckin inbred! Sorry, inside joke...). We are subjected to teenybopper talk such as "dreamy", "the most", and various other forms of nostalgic dribble before the experiment (brain sucking slugs) crashes down in some nearby woods and a chick gets her skull split by an axe wielding nutcase! Fast Forward (not literally you moron! Now rewind it...) to 1986, where college buddies Kris and JC are on the immortal college quest for, what else: Titties and Beer! Kris falls for this chick Cynthia Cronenberg (Cronenberg!? Coincidence? Not too fuckin likely!) and JC isn't bad as the crutch wielding comic relief. Too bad for Kris, CC (Cynthia) is the girlfriend to the asshole leader of a bunch of drunken frat boys, while Kris is just a pledger. To get into the frat, Kris and JC gotta grab a corpse for some college hijinx (public necrophilia perhaps?) and the two grab a refrigerized corpsicle (a "dream boat" from the opening '59 scene) from the basement of the hospital, but they piss themselves and run when "dream boat" comes to life and grabs their legs. As soon as the guys are off crying in a dark corner somewhere, alien slugs fly out of the frozen Happy Days reject, multiply, and go about the town, turning "townsfolk" and college kids into zombies. Remember the cop from the '59 scenario? Well, not only is he now Tom Atkins, but he's still around too, moping over the death of his old girlfriend (the one who got the axe in her brain), and now he has a snappy comeback every time someone tries to verify his name! You know this isn't "based on a true story" when the hot Cynthia dumps her jock boyfriend Brad for the wiener hero Kris. Detective Cameron (the cop) tells us a little story, and we find out that he killed the axe swinging nut back in '59, and buried his body in a vacant lot. Meanwhile, JC is possessed by one of the alien slugs and kills himself instead of becoming a zombie (on the plus side, the slugs got his legs working!). Cameron and JC hunt down and burn the slugs, kill the zombies, and save the world! With all the jox dead or zombified, maybe I should stop by the college and give my "condolences" to their grieving girlfriends heh heh. This movie was fucking cool! We get treated to some nifty lawn mower-fu, cool makeup FX, creepy crawlies, and some dark humor! And who can forget Cameron's classic lines "is this a homicide or a bad B-Movie?" and "The good news is, your dates are here... the bad news is, they're dead"! WAHOO! This is one of those classic cult b-movie that you may not have heard of, but you sure as hell will never forget after you have! If you DO forget, then you're screwed, because there's a whole section of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS on the test you take to get into Hell (who would want to go to Heaven anyway?).

Sequels: Sadly, none.
