Last night was the special screening of Night of the Creeps at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas and Ain’t It Cool News, as usual, was on hand to report. Director, Fred Dekker and cast members, Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Whitlow and Tom Atkins were all in attendance for Q&A and autographs. They did this a while back before the release of the Monster Squad DVD and these shows sound like a blast. They showed a new print of the movie, original ending intact. During the Q&A, however, some questions came up, apparently, about a possible sequel to the movie, which Dekker responded to by saying that he had written out some ideas but the opportunity never came up.
Details for the DVD also dropped last night. The disc, to be released on DVD, and possibly Blu-ray, will drop on October 20th. Here’s what you can expect to find on the disc, apart from the feature, that is:
- Sixty Minutes of Behind the Scenes featurettes:
- “Birth of Creeps” featuring Dekker talking about the origins of the project
- “Cast of the Creeps” featuring Jason Lively, Tom Atkins, Steve Marshall and Jill Whitlow
- “Creating The Creeps” featuring interviews with SFX creators David B. Miller and Robert Kurtzman
- A special Tom Atkins centric piece called “Tom Atkins: Man of Action”
- “Escape of the Creeps” a detailed look at the post-production.
- Deleted scenes
- Fred Dekker solo commentary
- Cast commentary featuring Atkins, Whitlow, Marshall and Lively
- The original theatrical ending
- And footage from tonight’s Cast and Crew reunion screening at the Alamo Drafthouse.
