"Creepy crawlies and the date for the formal, that's classic spanky" Everything that comes out of Tom Atkins is really quotable and the movie is a fun joy ride and it's a hybrid movie of its own charm and beauty
LOVED THIS MOVIE! It was a video rental back in the late 80's, that became a cult classic for our group of friends. "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is your dates are here. What's the bad news? THEY'RE DEAD!"
Fantastic cult 80s film. Great practical effects, especially the beginning with the infected alien releasing the creeps onto planet earth. Also has the always great actor - Tom Atkins, from other classics like - Maniac Cop, Creepshow, Escape from New York and Halloween 3 season of the Witch. And he's great in this film also, witch is a good thing as the lead teenage boy character in the film has no charisma and delivers his line's like he's reading them off the back of a passing bus. But despite the lead character having the charisma and good looks of a discarded slice of ham, the film more than makes up for it with the effects, sense of humour and the likeability & good acting(from Tom Atkins) It's Miller Time!
This movie was 1 of my favorite movies growing up(sh-t, still is today). I usually double feature it with either "the Monster Squad" or "the Return of the living dead" whenever I rewatch it.
NOTC has a certain special fun charm to it that no horror fan can deny. It definitely sits in a class of films within the genre itself that are made up of pure entertainment and sub genre blending perfection. It's such a shame that we can't get more fun horror movies like this nowadays. But I am glad this eventually got proper HD releases, recognition and love that it truly deserves.
I was in 6th grade when this came out, so it was about a year later that I actually saw it, but I totally loved this movie. I’ve seen it dozens of times, and it was one of the first times that my friends and I started calling the actor “Tom Action”, instead of Atkins. We still refer to him as that to this day😆 He obviously thrilled us.
Jill Whitlow was one of the most beautiful woman of the '80s IMO. That image of her in a prom dress holding a flamethrower is one of the most iconic images of 80s horror IMO.
I remember first watching this on Zombie Week '95 on Sci-Fi channel hosted by Rob Zombie (who said this movie sucked). I love everything from the one-liners, the zombie effects, and the wacky humor. "THRILL ME."
I was born in 1987 and my parents raised me on alot of the mainstream horror/thriller classics like Halloween, The Exorcist, Salem's Lot, Duel, Christine, Night Of The Living Dead, The Fog, Creepshow, etc. However, I didn't discover this movie until just a few short years ago and damn I gotta say, I absolutely loved it! Tom Atkins absolutely brings it in this movie!!
Near and dear to my heart - I have turned so many folks on this picture. I hope that Sony or Scream Factory see fit to give this a 4K treatment with Atmos. I love this film.
Indeed...such a fun, entertaining film! I never could quite figure out, however, what JC intended to do with the matchbook except as a convenient way for the movie to show the silver bullet...it's not like he was going to get up and put the match near the fire extinguisher.
Love this movie. Campy, great lines, cool kills and alien slugs "I've got some good news and some bad news for ya. The good news is your date is here.........." "What's the bad news?" "They're dead!!!!!!
I wanted to see this ever since I saw the trailer on the vhs of Monster Squad. Not soon after that it hit cable and I had a new favorite movie. At a single digit age I realized the glorious love letter to B-movies with everyone having the last names of all the top genre directors. I still love this as much as I did then (probably more)💕
This is one of my favorites. I always thought the detective got killed in the explosion or fire that he sets off, but I saw it later and realized it was just some other guy. The detective definitely stole the show.
I saw this movie a couple of years ago for the first time and I thought it was great. I love the cast I love the story and I thought it was enjoyable from the beginning until the end.
Great overview of the development, execution and release of this now classic B film, complete with studio executive decisions actually managing to make the final product better. 1986 was a strange year for horror with films ranging from shite to absolute instant masterpieces and Night Of The Creeps easily ranks in the top five offerings, with the very enjoyable Chopping Mall slightly behind it.
Night of The Creeps was one of those movies i rented on VHS when I was 12 and fell in love with it. It was fun yet at times Creepy (no pun intended). I see it as an A- movie, it takes 50s crime/Sci-Fi/Horror cliches and Blends it with 70s Zombie movies and 80s Slasher and Teen comedy movies and somehow makes them work by structuring them all together so well. My only issue with the film is Chris and Cynthia don’t really have any chemistry in the movie. Also the ending wasn’t really that great, both of them. Although I would say the spaceship one is more interesting.
What is refreshing about your channel, is on vids like this you don't spoil the movie entirely. So many other channels do and its very annoying. Thanks.
Having JC be able to walk but only through having the slugs control him was heartbreaking. It wouldn’t have worked had he not been disabled. That’s how you do a payoff.
The only problem with reviewing awesome movies like this? I just watched a good 10 JoBlo videos and was going to watch a bunch more but, now I need to watch Night of the Creeps again lol Thanks for reminding me of how much I love this movie!
Actually, I did see it. A lot better than Animal House. Only lingering moment that always disturbed me: how is it that ALL the frat boys were killed in what appears to be a relatively contained bus accident? I mean, most of them should have emerged with, um, little more than a broken arm or bloody nose? But in zombies from outer space movies, I realize one doesn't quibble silly plot points: this IS, after all, a movie about zombies. Still: The Blob is much better.
The aliens were hilarious because they looked clearly like men in costumes, but the rest of the film actually has a darker tone which makes me unable to call this film comedy. I just watched and I think I liked it.
I got heavily into 80s horror movies a few years ago. Tapeheads and the community love this film. Me even though born in the early 80s never came across this film before. I was excited since my deep diving into the genre "Night of the creeps" always popped up as a community classic. All i can say is, i was disappointed. The film is too much all over the place, its a zombie film, parasite(slugs) film, aliens, thriller, colllege drama. It is way too much ending up being little at all.

Tom Atkins is and forever will be my hero. Also, this movie is so good!

One of my favorite 80s double feature: Night of the Creeps with Night of the Comet.
This movie was 1 of my favorite movies growing up(sh-t, still is today). I usually double feature it with either "the Monster Squad" or "the Return of the living dead" whenever I rewatch it.
this played constantly on HBO. Mid summer, mid week, wee hours of the night.
And I like the alien ending a lot more than the dog ending.

This has to be one of my favorite horror movies! Thank you for what you do here on this channel.
Night of the Creeps & The Monster Squad are amazingly fun horror comedies. Timeless :-)
OMG! I just bought this on DVD recently and watched it for the first time. It was great! So much fun!
Night of the Creeps walked so Slither could run 😂😂😂
A criminally underrated movie and my all time favorite horror-comedy. I even have a *Night of the Creeps* poster in my house, lol.
Love anything with Tom Atkins. He's a badass
I showed my wife this movie a couple of years ago. She loved it. It still works today.
Tom Atkins = Living Legend
Night of the Creeps
If you love 80s Horror Movies and Tom Atkins you will Love this 🧟♂️❤
When I was younger I thought Tom Atkins was Roger Corman.
I had no idea the lawn mower scene came during reshoots. It's iconic.
I was in 6th grade when this came out, so it was about a year later that I actually saw it, but I totally loved this movie. I’ve seen it dozens of times, and it was one of the first times that my friends and I started calling the actor “Tom Action”, instead of Atkins.

I’m gonna have to agree with you!
Her “aw shucks” moment after she saves JC in the toolshed is one of the most adorable things mankind has ever filmed.
A video on Night of the Creeps? Thrill me!
I remember first watching this on Zombie Week '95 on Sci-Fi channel hosted by Rob Zombie (who said this movie sucked). I love everything from the one-liners, the zombie effects, and the wacky humor. "THRILL ME."
When I get a phone call and I know it's someone tedious I say thrill me.
Cuts to the chase.
One of my absolute favorites. Gotta see it with the original ending.
I have this movie on blu-ray. An absolute classic.

Love this movie. Campy, great lines, cool kills and alien slugs
"I've got some good news and some bad news for ya. The good news is your date is here.........."
"What's the bad news?"
"They're dead!!!!!!
This and Strange Invaders were in heavy rotation on my VCR growing up. Love this flick.
I wanted to see this ever since I saw the trailer on the vhs of Monster Squad. Not soon after that it hit cable and I had a new favorite movie. At a single digit age I realized the glorious love letter to B-movies with everyone having the last names of all the top genre directors. I still love this as much as I did then (probably more)💕
How is it that in a whole list of bad-ass characters Tom Atkins plays, this one is the most bad-ass of them all. Such an awesome movie.
This is one of my favorites. I always thought the detective got killed in the explosion or fire that he sets off, but I saw it later and realized it was just some other guy. The detective definitely stole the show.
No, Tom's char does die in the explosion.
Atkins!! 🔥
Jill Whitlow
I STILL have a crush on her.
Seemed like the definitive cute, girl-next-door
I saw this movie a couple of years ago for the first time and I thought it was great. I love the cast I love the story and I thought it was enjoyable from the beginning until the end.
"Aside from kind of wanting to confess to a murder is there any point to this? Spanky that's exactly what im trying to figure out!"
Love this film it thrills me 💀🤟💀🤟
Peter Quill "Star Lord" loved this film as a kid!!!...
I loved this when I was a kid and it was on HBO and now I watch it when it's on Pluto TV!
Underrated movie doesn't get enough credit it's just good fun entertainment also Tom Atkins favorite movie of his own
Wow, the now playing poster for the movie was for one of the theaters I saw this in back in the 80's. The Cinema in Union City, NJ. :)
Great overview of the development, execution and release of this now classic B film, complete with studio executive decisions actually managing to make the final product better. 1986 was a strange year for horror with films ranging from shite to absolute instant masterpieces and Night Of The Creeps easily ranks in the top five offerings, with the very enjoyable Chopping Mall slightly behind it.
Hey I remember this movie, I actually liked it. So much that I watched it twice in the theater ;-)
I saw it and now I own it!!

Cameron, Landis, Carpenter, Rami, Cronenberg, Romero, Hopper, Bava, and Craven.
What is refreshing about your channel, is on vids like this you don't spoil the movie entirely. So many other channels do and its very annoying. Thanks.
Love this flick. Saw it many times ... and I love that Slither pays homage to this homage of B-Movies. :D
This VHS was the First thing I bought off eBay way back in 1996.
I have this in both versions in my collection, Love it!
Used to be one of my fav to rent as a kid. This , Re-animator and Evil Dead 2.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
Michael Jackson had Thriller, but our main man creeper hunter has Thrill Me.
I love Night of the Creeps!!!
I find it a little funny when I hear that fans of Monster Squad haven't even heard of Creeps. Both are excellent genre bending, comedy horror flicks.
this movie rocks. took way too long to get a bluray release.
Looks as though James Gunn was inspired by this movie a little bit, for his horror GEM, SLITHER...
Having JC be able to walk but only through having the slugs control him was heartbreaking. It wouldn’t have worked had he not been disabled. That’s how you do a payoff.
It’s Miller time!
FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME! HALLOWEEN III is my 2nd favorite. Go Tom Atkins!
The ending I saw was the spaceship one I didn't even know there was an alternative dog one
"I got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, your dates are here.
The bad news is, they're dead."
He's the only actor that could have replaced Roddy Piper in 'They Live'....just imagine any Carpenter movie with him in it...pure gold
Like The Fog, that he's in? :)
"What is this, a homicide or a bad B-movie? Corpses that have been dead for 27 years do not get up and go for a walk by themselves!" - Ray Cameron
Thank god that guy did not end up directing the sequel to Alien! :O
I never watched this movie but I want to see it.
The only problem with reviewing awesome movies like this? I just watched a good 10 JoBlo videos and was going to watch a bunch more but, now I need to watch Night of the Creeps again lol Thanks for reminding me of how much I love this movie!
Fair enough! Any support for Tom Atkins is fine by us
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals Y'all really are the best :)
Thrill Me
Love this movie in my top 10 list for all time favorites and I love both endings
After all these years still a favorite go to horror movie of mine‼️🤔🗯👀📺🍿🥤📽🎞
Definitely inspired slither.
You could call Slither the sequel to this movie and won’t be shocked
I love this movie!
Watched it and Monster Squad for the first time in 2021 and they are both great
It’s such an awesome film. A little bit of everything
Hey it’s “Russ” from vacation
An underrated classic!
This film kicked ASS! I've watched this movie a ton of times.This movie should have a sequel!
I really liked the film and it is one of my favorite films.
Okay, I haven't seen this film yet, however I have seen a similar movie that was made in 2006. A little film called "Slither", starring Nathan Fillion
Love this Movie. Had a Crush on her back then. "Ricke a Banshee"
This is one of my favorite horror movies!
One of my favorites.
Last Halloween I treated my girlfriend to this gem of a film as we watched alot of the non scary 80 horror films as she cant handle scary stuff lol
Actually, I did see it. A lot better than Animal House. Only lingering moment that always disturbed me: how is it that ALL the frat boys were killed in what appears to be a relatively contained bus accident? I mean, most of them should have emerged with, um, little more than a broken arm or bloody nose? But in zombies from outer space movies, I realize one doesn't quibble silly plot points: this IS, after all, a movie about zombies. Still: The Blob is much better.
I like the outro music 🤘🍻🤘
Night of the creeps the best cast phrase in the movie frill me.
I'm putting this movie on my watch list
thrill me
The aliens were hilarious because they looked clearly like men in costumes, but the rest of the film actually has a darker tone which makes me unable to call this film comedy.
I just watched and I think I liked it.
This movie is actually fucking amazing. "Thrill Me"
Had the privilege of telling Tom Atkins “thrill me” haha he seemed stoked
You should review Threads (1984).
I got heavily into 80s horror movies a few years ago. Tapeheads and the community love this film. Me even though born in the early 80s never came across this film before.

NOTC is the sheeeeeit!
You know Tom Atkins played Michael Myers in Halloween part three
Oh yea, this movie is SOO good!
THRILL ME
One of the greats.
I just bought this today!
