About six years ago, Scream Factory gave the 1986 classic Night of the Creeps a Blu-ray release – and along with the Blu-ray, they released an exclusive, limited edition 8” tall Neca action figure of the film’s star, Tom Atkins! Now, Scream Factory is set to bring Night of the Creeps to 4K Uhd on March 25th – and the Collector’s Edition bundle includes a new Tom Atkins action figure! You can check out an image of the new action figure at the bottom of this article, and you can pre-order the bundle at This Link. There was a bundle that included both of the Neca figures, but it has already sold out.
Written and directed by Fred Dekker, Night of the Creeps has the following synopsis: Thrill me! When an alien experiment goes awry, it crashes to Earth in 1959 and infects a young college student. Twenty-seven years later, his cryogenically frozen...

Several iconic horror movies from earlier decades just don’t hold up to today’s standards, which often makes them get overlooked by modern audiences. At the time of their release, they might have been groundbreaking, but with their limited technology and simpler storytelling, a lot of them can easily feel outdated nowadays. Additionally, older horror films often relied on implied scares and slow build-ups, which is why they don't really hold the attention of today’s viewers.
Modern audiences want a faster pace, more exciting horrors, and complex characters. Plus, certain themes from old-school movies just don’t click with the way we see the world now. That’s where new adaptations come in. From Re-Animator to Cannibal Holocaust, there are quite a few iconic horror movies that deserve a modern reboot. If done right, these titles could get a fresh spin while honoring the originals' legacy, giving them...

More classics and cult favorites from the good people at Scream Factory!
Where do I even begin talking about my love for Night of the Creeps? Writer/director Fred Dekker, a monster kid from way back, was a successful screenwriter when he got to finally direct a movie. He was only about 26 at the time, but the movie plays like the work of a guy who has waited his entire life to make a movie. He packs it top to bottom with all the things he loves and includes every shot he's dreamed of composing, from the Jaws zoom in/dolly out to the first appearance of hard-boiled Tom Atkins, shot from a high angle looking down through a ceiling fan. He doesn't direct Night of the Creeps like he's trying to prove something; he directs it like he's only going to get one chance to make a movie and...

"Modern Family's" episode on Wednesday, October 6 on ABC should be a load of laughs. Nathan Lane and Vic Polizos, who has guest-starred in a number of comedies and dramas, will guest star in the episode.
An earthquake hits, leaving Claire (Julie Bowen) stuck in the bathroom with the plumber, played by Polizos. Manny experiences an existential crisis while out with Jay (Ed O'Neill), and Mitchell and Cameron (Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet) dig themselves a lie they have trouble getting out of when they use the quake to get out of a themed brunch party thrown by their friend, Pepper, played by Nathan Lane.
This will be Polizos' second guest-star appearance this year; he guest starred on "Desperate Housewives" earlier this year. Previously, Polizos has guest-starred on "Raising the Bar," "CSI" and "Boston Legal."
Lane has guest-starred on various sitcoms in the last few years, including "30 Rock," and...

See new clips from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's "Night of the Creeps" starring Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Witlow, Tom Atkins, Wally Taylor, Bruce Solomon, Vic Polizos and Allan Kayser. The comedy horror sees release on October 27th. In this campy chiller, a college couple, in 1959, see an object plummet to Earth like a meteor. The boy accidentally swallows a space-slug that shoots out. In 1986, two freshmen roam the campus and stumble across the corpse of the boy who swallowed the space-slug. Once thawed out, the corpse comes to life. Interestingly enough,multi-talented David Paymer had a part in this film as a young scientist.

The controversial MembershipFirst faction of SAG announced Friday a slate of 33 potential candidates who will vie for openings on the national and local boards and go head-to-head with the newly formed opposition group, Unite for Strength.
Among the actors looking to fill Hollywood's 11 national board seats and 22 local seats are 11 new MembershipFirst candidates, including Scott Bakula, Keith Carradine, Charles Shaughnessy and Joely Fisher. Also on the slate are 22 incumbents to the board, including JoBeth Williams, Joe Bologna, and Lainie Kazan.
The announcement of the candidates comes a day before a crucial SAG national board meeting Saturday and two days after Unite for Strength announced its intention to contest seats held by those in MembershipFirst. Unite's 31 candidates include Amy Brenneman, Kate Walsh and Doug Savant.
MembershipFirst came to power in 2005 and currently dominates the Hollywood board, holding the majority of seats as well as backing current president Alan Rosenberg. The group is the controlling voice in the SAG contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, which is currently at a stand still.
Unite for Strength blames MembershipFirst for its hardline approach to the negotiations as well as its anti-aftra sentiment, which led to the unsuccessful campaign to get members to vote down the sister union's primetime/TV deal with the AMPTP.
In its announcement, MembershipFirst said its goals for the coming year include uniting "all actors under the Screen Actors Guild banner, protect actors wages and working conditions in all areas, fight for residuals in all media platforms, protect the right of every dues paying member to vote on SAG issues and to secure complete jurisdiction in new media."
Unite for Strength's main goal is to merge SAG with AFTRA, something the MembershipFirst faction has bitterly opposed in the last two attempts in 1999 and 2003.
The potential MembershipFirst national board candidates are:
Scott Bakula
Joe Bologna (incumbent)

Joely Fisher
