Night of the Creeps [Director's Cut]

Three points for that title alone! But Night of the Creeps has a lot more going for it; this maiden directorial effort by Fred Dekker is a dextrous amalgam of sci-fi, horror, and laughter. Nerdish college freshmen Jason Lively and Steve Marshall pledge to a fraternity, hoping to scope out the best chicks. As part of their initiation, the boys must sneak into the college's medical center. Here they find the frozen remains of a boy who swallowed an alien slug (that's right, operator) back in 1959. The corpse thaws, the space slugs are unleashed on campus, and.....AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! You gotta love a low-budget scarefest that names all of its characters after horror-film directors: Romero, Cronenberg, Cameron, Landis, Hooper, Raimi, and on into the night. And what would a "retro" terror flick from the 1980s be without the supporting-cast presence of the ubiquitous Dick Miller?
