How in the hell is it possible that NIGHT OF THE CREEPS isn’t out on DVD already? I guess I never really noticed that it’s not available on disc because I personally feel that the flick is best watched on late-night t.v., but that’s the sentimentalist in me. Don’t get me wrong, I truly enjoy the movie and could quote it with anyone. It’s just that I grew up watching it on WPIX channel 11 during their annual SHOCKTOBER. Ahh those were the days. For me, it’s just one of those movies that need to be a little rough around the edges…
But enough nostalgia, it’s time to bring the slugs into the modern age. Michael Felsher from Red Shirt Pictures was on Deadpit Radio recently and confirmed that NIGHT OF THE CREEPS is making its way to our homes in OCTOBER. Sweet!
Here’s what he said (courtesy of Deadpit Radio by way of AICN): In October Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be releasing Night of the Creeps to DVD in a directors cut special edition, it is coming out officially for the first time ever. Fred Dekker is already working on it, It’s going to be the director’s cut with the original ending. We’re going to go balls to the wall with the special features on it…I talked to Sony today its official, we’re going ahead and its coming out in October!’ ‘It’s officially In production…and moving forward, its coming!”
So you get the picture. It’s coming!!! We recently put leading lady Cindy Cronenberg in our Top 10 Horror Movie Girlfriends EVER list, so needless to say we here are looking forward to this release. I’ll grab myself a copy, but rest assured, I’ll still be keeping an eye out for it on television after it’s well passed my bedtime.
“Thrill me.”
