Night of the Creeps/ Night of the Comet
Saturday November 26, Belfast Film Festival Beanbag Cinema, Exchange Place, Belfast, 7pm
THESE rarely seen cult horror classics are ideal pre-Halloween viewing.
Night of The Creeps, written and directed by Fred Dekker, is an enjoyably ludicrous tale of zombies and alien invasion from 1986.
This affectionate low-budget homage to horror and sci-fi cinema (featuring characters named for genre pioneers) is given a raunchy 80s 'college comedy' spin by the man who also wrote cult horror flick House.
Sci-fi spoof
Night of The Comet is possibly even more obscure than its similarly titled appetiser.
Made in 1984, it concerns a pair of airhead 'Valley girls' turned machine-gun-toting post-apocalyptic warriors who must battle zombies, soldiers and evil scientists in order to survive.
From director Thom Eberhardt (who later helmed Kurt Russell comedy vessel Captain Ron, it's the kind of off-beat B-movie curio that special screenings like this were invented for.
A delightfully deviant double bill.
