Night of the Creeps is one of my favorite horror movies, particularly because it's so littered with horror geek references (the characters are named Hooper, Miner, Cronenberg, Cameron, etc), it's fun as hell, and god damn do I love Tom Motherfuckin' Atkins. Up until it was deleted in the iPhone update--damn you Apple--my voicemail message consisted only one, "This is Hefner. At the tone, thrill me."
No matter how you felt about the film, I cannot recommend enough the director's first film, Monster Squad, a movie about a group of horror-loving kids in their clubhouse who have to face off against Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I showed it to my Henchgirl, and she fell in love with it instantly, and hard. "If I'd seen this at age ten, I would have played Monster Squad in the backyard constantly!"
