It's due out in October. Michael Felsher said "Fred Dekker is already working on it. It's going to be the director's cut with the original ending". Michael Felsher said "this will be no bare bone edition of Night of the Creeps. It will have lots of extras".

I've always loved that movie and would like to get this DVD in my hot little hands. "The good news is...your dates are here." "What's the bad news?" "They're dead." Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way. My MySpace page BumsCorner.com

My Vhs is jus about shot after all this time. I've seen both endings and prefer the theatrical original. Nickolas Cook Moderator:Shocklines Writers Group MySpace MyBlog

Thanks for bringing that up. I forgot to state that Sony Pictures had the rights to Night of the Creeps and I'm pleased they are giving this movie it's due. But I'm like everyone else wondering what took them so long. This should make them some cash and some fans very happy.

Well, Sony was never quite on the ball when it comes down to their cult films and back catalogue titles. I mean, "Battle in Outer Space" NEVER had an American VHS release back in the late 80s to middle 90s...yet now it's showing up on the upcoming Sony release of their Toho sci-fi titles! Seriously, what took so long here?! Director Fred Dekker has requested Sony to put "Night of the Creeps" on DVD for quite some time, yet Sony expressed little-to-no interest primarily due to feeling it wouldn't make any money because it's an old movie. Sony displayed the same attitude when MGM spent two years restoring "Witchfinder General": MGM was ready to put it on DVD, yet when the company was bought out by Sony they told MGM it wasn't worth the release because it's an old film. Remember, MGM spent two years and some real money on the restoration, so to Sony that's nothing. However, now that Sony is greenlighting "Night of the Creeps" for a DVD release, it's rather stunning that Sony has decided to go thru with it. I wonder what the change in "policy" made them come to this decision? Nonetheless, I'm happy it's happening.

I hope this a step in the right direction for Horror,Fantasy, & Cult titles that Sony is sitting on.

(06/15/09 8:59 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	AICN news I was able to get the jump on some interesting info regarding the DVD that I wanted to share with you. But first, someone in the audience during the Q&A asked about a sequel and Fred Dekker asked if they wanted one, with the original cast returning. A resounding applause met this, of course. He later hinted at having written some ideas down for a sequel. Anything new from Dekker is awesome (he's apparently going to be directing a drama in the near future), but I'm a bit psyched at the idea of him returning to horror comedy, especially dipping back into a world I love so much. Would this mean Tom Atkins is going to need a twin brother? We'll see how this project evolves. Now, let's look at some the DVD details: - Release date is October 20th, 2009 - Sixty Minutes of Behind the Scenes featurettes: - "Birth of Creeps" featuring Dekker talking about the origins of the project - "Cast of the Creeps" featuring Jason Lively, Tom Atkins, Steve Marshall and Jill Whitlow - "Creating The Creeps" featuring interviews with SFX creators David B. Miller and Robert Kurtzman - A special Tom Atkins centric piece called "Tom Atkins: Man of Action" - "Escape of the Creeps" a detailed look at the post-production. - Deleted scenes - Fred Dekker solo commentary - Cast commentary featuring Atkins, Whitlow, Marshall and Lively - The original theatrical ending - And footage from tonight's Cast and Crew reunion screening at the Alamo Drafthouse. ...an atomic powered brain in a jar jacked directly into a computer who wont be denied!

(06/18/09 10:24 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I'm looking forward to this release. However, I hope Sony will include both the original Director's cut and the Theatrical cut. I see on the list it mentions "original theatrical ending" and I'm gonna' assume that means an 'extra'. I know the Theatrical ending isn't big with the fans, but I enjoyed that ending for what it was worth. Again, hoping that Sony does release both versions: that would be better and they can do it.

From what I'm reading, (unless they do some DVD branching...) that ending will only be included as an extra. GREG ESPINOZA I made it possible for you to come here!

(06/28/09 5:08 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	The theatrical ending was the one with the dog; the one involving the aliens and searchlights was the original ending that was used for it's later TV release. Dekker prefers the original ending due to the theatrical ending being forced upon by Tri-Star.
