16 October 2009 7:55 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The prolific cult director also talks about directing

Fans of true cult cinema have a reason to rejoice this Halloween season, as Fred Dekker, the mastermind behind the hugely popular The Monster Squad, is finally bringing his elusive, long absent underground horror hit Night of the Creeps to DVD and Blu-ray on October 27th. To help celebrate the release, we recently caught up with the prolific director for a no holds barred interview that covers his whole career (including his own ruminations about the much maligned RoboCop 3 some fifteen years after its release). It's a great interview that you can read below in our DVD section. While discussing Night of the Creeps, Dekker spoke more about his plans for a sequel which would reunite the entire cast some twenty years after the events of that faithful night in 1986. He also discussed the upcoming Rob Cohen remake of his beloved The Monster Squad, …

Fred Dekker Revisits The Night of the Creeps!

16 October 2009 7:44 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The most elusive cult creeper ever made finally makes its way to DVD and Blu-ray October 27th!

Night of the Creeps has become one of the most sought after late night cult creepers ever made. After hitting the video store circuit in the mid-80s on VHS tape (and VHS alone), the film quickly disappeared. It would later crawl out from late night cable television on that rare occasion, like some long dormant creature hungry for flesh. It's never been re-released on any medium, and has only made a handful of appearances at the local midnight theater. Despite that fact, Fred Dekker's amazing 1986 ode to aliens, zombies, and high school romps has developed a rabid following over the years. Revolving around squirmy black leeches that possess a town full of teenagers and treats them like puppets on prom night, it's a hard film to shake. And the fact that …

‘Robocop’ Returns To Comics With New, Ongoing Series

10 June 2009 2:32 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Paul Verhoeven’s ultra-violent 1987 film “RoboCop” has a long history in the comics world, from “Sin City” scribe Frank Miller penning the scripts to “RoboCop 2″ and “RoboCop 3,” to various well-received stories published by Marvel Comics, Dark Horse and Avatar Press over the years. Heck, they even made a video game out of the “RoboCop vs. Terminator” comic.

Dynamite Entertainment looks to add their name to the list of publishers finding success in the saga of Detroit’s favorite cyborg cop. Earlier today, the “Army of Darkness” and “The Boys” publisher announced an agreement with “RoboCop” studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to produce a new, ongoing comic book series based on the popular character.

While the announcement made no mention of the series’ creative team, the publisher promised that the series will explore “the dangers of Detroit, its citizens, and Officer Murphy’s continued dealings with the scum that stalks the streets. …

The 6 Toughest Movie Heroines! (of all time)

11 May 2009 10:41 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

We’ve all seen Bruce Willis shoot shit up in Die Hard; we’ve all seen Daniel Craig breaking someone’s nose as James Bond. But what about the movie heroine? This breed of saviour is unfortunately far, far rarer than the male heroes of Hollywood, despite this however; there are without a doubt a select few who could kick the crap out of Mike Tyson, let alone some shabby super villain.

So check it out below, a list of my top 6 movie heroines:

#06 – Officer Anne Lewis (Robocop, Robocop 2, Robocop 3)

If I ever dial 999 (or 911 stateside) I’d want to see Officer Lewis at my door, chewing gum and ready to kick some major ass.

Lewis is seen by many as sidekick to Paul Verhoeven’s cyberpunk creation Robocop, but let’s examine that relationship for a minute. It’s Anne who gives the cold thinking cyborg his humanity back, …

It’s Miller Time! Night Of The Creeps confirmed Directors Cut next October!

3 April 2009 6:18 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bootleggers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Ok I promise this is not an April fools joke even though it looks eerily similar to my bogus Mimic post.

The movie lords have decided to smile upon us meek movie geeks by finally releasing the cult favorite Night Of The Creeps on DVD (and hopefully Blu Ray) next October. Not only are we getting the film on a proper legal format but it will be a director’s cut supervised by Fred Dekker, using his original cemetery ending.

Shocktillyoudrop.com posted the news today with a quote from Red Shirt Pictures´ Michael Felsher where he had this to say

”It is coming out officially for the first time ever. Fred Dekker is already working on it, It’s going to be the director’s cut with the original ending. …
