This Week on DVD: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Whatever Works, Night of the Creeps
It’s pretty slim pickings this week on DVD as there are only a few noteworthy releases, and fewer still that are even remotely related to Halloween. If you want horror, the only major releases available are the middling summer thriller Orphan, a collection of creepy animated shorts called Fear(s) of the Dark, and… the direct-to-DVD spoof Stan Helsing. Ugh. Other new releases include Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Woody Allen’s Whatever Works starring Larry David, and the final (?) Battlestar Galactica DTV feature, The Plan. The only thing that salvages the week is the long awaited release of Fred Dekker’s cult classic Night of the Creeps on both DVD and Blu-ray! Definitely well worth checking out if you haven’t seen it before. Will you be picking anything up this week?

“It’s about those chuckleheads isn’t it?” Night of The Creeps rules, chock full of one-liners.
Posted by McGuirk on October 27th, 2009After the Movie Club Podcast you guys took part in…. Well I just had to get “Night of the Creeps” today! I do not know how I missed it in the 80’s. I’m Looking forward to it. When are you guys doing another one of those? The Alien one was great too!
Posted by Big Hungry on October 27th, 2009Also getting Night of the Creeps this week. Speaking of the movie club podcast, what are the next two films will you guys be talking about and when you guys get together for it? Hopefully The Warriors does win the poll for the next one.
Posted by Primal on October 27th, 2009The next episode of The Movie Club Podcast will be A.I. and Prince of Darkness. We were hoping to have it recorded this month but we kept having conflicting schedules. Hopefully it will happen sometime within the next couple of weeks.
Posted by Sean on October 27th, 2009Night of the Creeps looks great remastered. I was lucky enough to see it last week on the big screen with a Dekker Q and A, the movie looked amazing, the audience ate it up, and Dekker was a great guy. Awesome movie, along with Monster Squad.
Posted by Jurassicalien on October 27th, 2009I, too, picked up Night of the Creeps. Blu-ray looks great.
