NECA is doing a 8" Detective Ray Cameron (Tom Atkins) figure for a movie called Night of the Creeps which will be included with a Shout Factory Blu-ray release of the movie. See the details below:

We aim to “thrill” you today with very exciting news! Please read carefully on as there’s a lot to communicate…

• We are releasing a new Blu-ray of the popular 80s cult classic NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, which is planned for a May 28th Street Date. Region A. US & Canada.
• This will be presented as a Collector’s Edition and will come guaranteed with a slipcover in its first three months of release.
• We are doing something different and not adding a newly-designed illustration to the national release. The front-facing cover will be the iconic “zombie rose” art that many remember fondly from its initial VHS release. The reverse cover will featuring a theatrical poster design (Students with flamethrowers as zombies approach)
• Extras and final specs are in progress and will be announced on a later date. All extras from the prior U.S. Blu-ray release will be ported over and new extras are underway.

Wow this is really cool.would like to see neca do a toxic avenger 8 inch figure with dvd.

I honestly don't know how much demand there is for this sort of thing, but anything that gets Tom Atkins the recognition he so richly deserves is worth it in my book.

I've got to be honest. I have never even heard of this movie, but Toxic Avenger would be cool.

WHAT!?! You poor deprived soul!

Seriously, if you've got Amazon Prime, you can watch it free with ads on their IMDB freedive channel. I strongly suggest you check it out. It's not one of the "Big" 80s horror movies, but it is worth seeking out . . . especially if your tastes lean more toward the campy "Evil Dead/Army of Darkness" end of the horror spectrum.

This along with Deadly Friend were two of my all-time favorite Saturday afternoon UHF matinee movies. Great stuff.

This movie is fantastic. I consider myself a movie buff, a real fan....and Night of the Creeps is incredibly 80's.

 

It is less well known, but a very well done movie.

I agree with Mako, this is one of my favorite horror movies I watched when I was younger. Its very underrated and deserves recognition. It was also one of those movies that 'creeped' me out so bad when I was younger but as I saw it again later as an adult, man, memories and was still really good. The friend part and the recording really got to me. I definitely didnt get a campy feel to it tho, but at the same time I guess just about every 80s horror flick was campy.
