Night of the Creeps

Night of the Creeps is a 1986 horror film written and directed by Fred Dekker. The film is notable as both an earnest attempt at a B-movie as well as a spoof of the genre. While the main plot of the film is related to zombies (its title is a play on Night of the Living Dead), the film also mixes in takes on slashers and alien invasion films.

The classic B-movie Plan 9 from Outer Space is first referenced and then later watched by a character in the film. This is an intentional reference to the fact that the plot of the film is itself similar to Plan 9.
