Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Technically I should be standing in the 30 people long line waiting to change my connecting flight from Vegas to Austin, but when I found out McCarron International Airport had free wi-fi I knew I could use this delay to update one of the best stories of the week as far as I'm concerned.
Fred "Monster Squad" Dekker's freshman film, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, is finally hitting DVD. I was extremely happy to have a small role in helping push for a DVD release of MONSTER SQUAD and I can't be happier at this news. Not only will we get NIGHT OF THE CREEPS this October, but it's said to be a bells and whistles release.
When I interviewed the great Tom Atkins I couldn't stop talking about this movie, a genuinely hilarious horror comedy about alien slugs that jump into your mouth and turn you into a zombie. It's long been one of my favorites and the first of one of the best one-two punches of the '80s. I grew up on this movie and Monster Squad and soon you can own both.
The news comes from an interview Michael Felsher did with deadpit.com. Here's the release they put out:
Dear Editors:
The innovators of Horror Talk Radio at DEADPIT.com had a brief chat late Thursday with DVD producing mogul Michael 'Slipcase' Felsher from Red Shirt Pictures. We learned that this Halloween is going to be creepier than ever with Fred Dekker's Night of the Creeps at least hitting official DVD,
Felsher states: 'In October Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be releasing Night of the Creeps to DVD in a directors cut special edition, 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. We're going to go balls to the wall with the special features on it...I talked to Sony today its official, we're going ahead and its coming out in October!' 'It's officially In production...and moving forward, its coming!'
Please note this is NOT an April Fools Joke as we did the interview on April 2nd! It is OFFICIAL! Spread the word folks, we're all uber excited here at DEADPIT!
Listen to the entire conversation on the April 3rd edition of DEADPIT Radio over on the website DEADPIT.COM !

I guess I better get back in line and see when exactly I get to go home. But now you know! Celebrate, rejoice, dance in the streets! Thrill me!
