Writer and Director Fred Dekker is Planning a Sequel For NIGHT OF THE CREEPS
Fred Dekker, the writer and director of the 1986 horror film Night of the Creeps, is planning a sequel that will bring back the original cast! That cast of the original film includes Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Whitlow, Allan Kayser, and Tom Atkins.
The news about Night of the Creeps 2 came from Tom Atkins during an interview with JoBlo. He said:
“I would like to see Detective Ray Cameron become resurrected somehow. And Fred Dekker and I, every time we see each other, we talk about that. And he's determined to do a sequel with the three kids and myself. I mean they're no longer kids, they're all in their 50's, but they're all still kicking and healthy and looking good. I would love to do that again. I love Detective Ray Cameron.”
It would be pretty cool if this film project actually ended up happening. I love the idea of making a sequel with the original cast all these years later. It’s better than a reboot!
Just in case you’re not familiar with the original Night of the Creeps, the story centered on “fraternity pledges who pull a prank with a frozen body and let sluglike creatures loose on campus.” In also included a trailer for you to watch below.
Dekker is also the writer behind films such as Monster Squad, House II: The Second Story, Tales From The Crypt, RoboCop 3, and The Predator. What do you think about him making a sequel to Night of the Creeps?
