The Creeps is a 1997 American comedy horror film, written by Benjamin Carr and directed by Charles Band.

David soon discovers that the man claiming to be Jamison is really Dr. Winston Berber, a scholar with doctorates in Physics, Mathematics, Folklore, and Philosophy.

Berber collects rare original manuscripts; along with Frankenstein, he has obtained The Werewolf of Paris and The Mummy.

Berber has invented an "Archetype Inducer" and plans to use the manuscripts to bring the four greatest monsters from horror history to life and control them.

Berber says that she is just what he needs: a virgin between the ages of 20 and 35 to be sacrificed naked to make the Archetype Inducer work.

David, a cinephile, starts droning on about the book's various film adaptations and the people who worked on it, until Anna interrupts him with a kiss.

[1] Fangoria wrote that the film is "moderately successful" and "one of things to The Creeps' credit is that while the filmmakers do indulge in the 'minuscule monster' angle, the movie doesn't sink to a series of tasteless short jokes or repetitive and sophomoric humorless indignities aimed at the diminutive actors.

It certainly isn't the Monster Squad meets Time Bandits you may have envisioned, but the special effects required some effort to produce and corners were definitely not cut.

"[3] A reviewer for the British Fantasy Society also praised the film and wrote that it was "light, fun and a good chuckle throughout.

Club, "There's something embarrassingly entertaining about a three-foot-high werewolf, but that and a genuinely strong performance by veteran little-person actor Phil Fondacaro as Dracula are pretty much the extent of The Creeps' charms."

While he wrote that the film was not funny and not scary, he qualified it was "far from unwatchable, and if you really need a cheesy horror movie, especially one with tiny monsters, you could do a lot worse.
