Night of the Creeps Page #2

---

...play as many of the frat guys

as possible.

Playing the lab assistant here,

is actor David Paymer.

He would go on to appear in the film

Mr. Saturday Night (1992)...

...for which he was nominated for

an Academy Award (R) in 1993...

...for Best Supporting Actor.

He has also become

one of Hollywood's...

...most notable character actors,

appearing in such films as...

... The American President (1995),

Payback (1999)...

...and In Good Company (2004).

Paymer recently returned

to the horror genre...

...with a major role in director Sam

Raimi's Drag Me to Hell (2009).

Another key member

of the production team...

...was production designer

George Costello.

He had previously worked as

an art director on such films as...

... Evilspeak (1981) and

the original The Terminator (1984).

Costello would later handle

production design duties...

...for Problem Child (1990) and

Alligator Il:
The Mutation (1991).

He recently returned

to the horror genre...

...with the horrorlcomedy

My Name Is Bruce (2008).

"This gives me the creeps!"

Is one of many lines of dialogue...

...that reference the movie itself.

While it may appear that

actor Ken Heron is naked...

...he is actually wearing underwear.

The icy frost around

his midsection on the tube...

...is what gives the impression

otherwise.

It is never explained why Johnny

was placed in a cryogenics facility...

...or who did it.

Fans have speculated on the

back-story...

...saying that the U.S. Government

knew about the meteor landing...

...and was using Johnny's body

for experimental purposes.

Believe it or not, there are actually

cryonic labs such as this in existence.

Well, they don't look exactly like this...

...but people have been frozen for

possible resuscitation in the future.

But cryonics didn't really come to

fruition until the 1960s and 1970s...

...so it's still a mystery as to how

Johnny got here in the late 1950s.

An earlier scene in the cryo lab

was filmed...

...intending to explain

the cryonics process...

...but was cut early

in the editing process.

Steve Marshall wasn't sure why J. C...

...would come along

on this particular trip...

...since there would be little way

of him helping...

...to carry a big, heavy

corpse around.

Most of the creeps

are filmed in reverse motion...

...or with monofilaments

to pull them from the actors' mouths.

It is not known what happened to

the poor fish in this dorm room.

J.C. Refers to Chris' breaking up

with "whatshername"...

...his long-term girlfriend

who is never seen on-screen.

In the original short, Chris' estranged

girlfriend was named Karen.

Karen became the name

for the cat-loving sorority girl.
