#2
SNICKS DRIVE IN DOUBLE FEATURE
Night Of The Creeps/Night Of The Comet
It’s difficult to do horror satire successfully, but the films tied at #2 not only achieve that goal, but they also work as straight horror films, and in the case of the latter film, as romantic fluff.
Night Of The Creeps isn't very well known, but it should be. Alien slugs crash to earth, turning frat kids into zombies. Two frat pledges discover the grisly truth, and try to fight the invasion. Oh, did I mention they’re at Corman University? If that means something to you, then you’ll probably enjoy this underrated gem. And I think this may have been the first time I ever heard the expression “Screaming Like Banshees.”
Part horror, part sci-fi, part romance, Night Of The Comet stars Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney as Valley Girl sisters who survive when a comet brings the zombie apocalypse. Featuring Mary Woronov, Chakotay and an awesome 80′s synth soundtrack, it’s a lot of fun, with some actual scares along the way. A perfect 80′s time capsule.
