Listen now
Description
After another disappointing Halloween we decided to go back to the 80s and cover something we KNEW we would have fun dissecting.  It features one of our favourite genre actors, Tom Atkins and has a script that is much smarter than it deserves to be.  A wonderful blend of 50s schlock and 80s gore.  A true love letter to the horror genre.  For our 128th podcast we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to Fred Dekker's Night of the Creeps.Show Highlights:01:00  Prelude to Terror05:00  Introducing the film...10:20  The Alien beginning (50s nostalgia)...14:00  80s Cringe...19:25  Thrill Me...22:55  The Horror Names...26:20  Murder Story...30:10  It Got In My Mouth...33:55  Bus Massacre...36:55  I've Got Good News and Bad News...39:30  The Two Different Endings...42:28  Why Did This Flop?45:45  Scoring the Film...54:15  Conclusion and Thanks for Listening!
