Night of the Creeps

"Fans of Fred Dekker's 1986 cult favorite NIGHT OF THE CREEPS have a chance to influence the packaging for what is undoubtedly one of the most-anticipated genre titles ever to hit DVD. Amazon.com is giving you a chance to vote for one of three possible covers for the DIRECTOR'S CUT (pictured below), which hits DVD on October 20th. Amazon.com is already taking pre-orders for $17.99, which includes a price guarantee - If they lower the price, you get the best deal."

"Night of the Creeps is a 1986 horror film written and directed by Fred Dekker. Night of the Creeps stars Tom Atkins, Jason Lively and Jill Whitlow. The film is notable as an earnest attempt at a B movie and a spoof of the genre. While the main plot of the film is related to zombies, the film also mixes in takes on slashers and alien invasion films."

I, personally, think all three of the covers suck. I agree with other fans, that they should have just kept the classic one sheet as the cover, instead of fucking up the Director's Cut cover to this cult legend. Regardless, I'm still excited to see that this is finally getting its due with a DVD release. Click here to vote for which pile of shit looks less like a pile of shit than the other two.
