The bonus features has “Horrors’ Hallowed Grounds” so you can see the locations where Tom Atkins once stood. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory and all the great bonus features:
SCREAM FACTORY PRESENTS
NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (COLLECTOR’S EDITION)
ON BLU-RAY MAY 28, 2019
“A fantastic horror movie … There is so much to love about Night of the Creeps that I have no idea where to begin.” – Bloody Disgusting
Los Angeles, CA – The good news is your date is here. The bad news is…he’s dead. Scream Factory proudly presents Night of the Creeps in a definitive collector’s edition Blu-ray release on May 28, 2019. This release is jam-packed, with both theatrical and director’s cut versions of the film and new bonus features including interviews with cast and crew and an episode of Horrors’ Hallowed Grounds.
When an alien experiment goes awry, it crashes to Earth in 1959 and infects a young college student. Twenty-seven years later, his cryogenically frozen body is thawed out by fraternity pledges … and the campus is quickly overrun by alien creatures whose victims turn into zombies!
Director Fred Dekker’s thoroughly enjoyable throwback chiller deftly mixes all sorts of genres while simultaneously having fun with them (the college and all the leading characters are named after famous horror movie directors). This cult classic stars Jason Lively (European Vacation and The Dukes of Hazzard Series) and horror film legend Tom Atkins (The Fog, Creepshow, Halloween III, Escape from New York).
