Ok, Full Moon films are either hit or miss, so I'll skip any type of review and get right to the important stuff -- THE CONTENTS. This is a double sided DVD. On side one you get the feature film and a 15 minute feature called VideoZone. Almost all Full Moon dvds come with VideoZone installments. For the novices out there, the VideoZone is Charles Band's video magazine with news and previews of upcoming features and of course the mandatory making of the film section. Pretty neat stuff with tons of cast interviews and a chance to see Phil Fondacaro guzzling Budweiser (priceless!) Side Two has over 40 trailers from the Full Moon vaults and it's great to see current superstars Helen Hunt, Demi Moore, etc showing up as supporting players in many of Full Moon's classic series like Trancers, etc. The quality of the movie transfer is excellent. All of the graphics and colors are intact. Some of the trailers are not up to par, but they probably are the best available. Charles Band knows that these DVDs tend to be purchased, not rented, and he has taken the extra care to provide a little extra bang for your buck. Sit back, pop open your favorite beverage and enjoy this wacky stuff.

Bashing this movie is simply stupid. Right off the bat you should know that it's a low budget, schlocky B movie. Not really what you would call horror, either. This movie did it's job for me. It entertained me and I bought it for about $3. The story is good enough to keep you interested. Of the 8 member cast, 2 did an alright job. The little blond, altough wasn't a good actress, was OK on the eyes and at times funny. You really think she thinks she's giving an Oscar worthy performance and that's funny to me. One other thing; the little dude who played Dracula, was the best actor in the movie. I thought he did a good job.

Worst movie ever. Midget monsters? Give me a break. I'm not sure what audience this movie was trying to capture. It's too stupid to keep adults entertained. It seemed like a horror movie for kids until one of the sawed off runts pulls the top off the dumb blonde and starts dialing Tokyo on her nipples.
I admit that was the best part of the movie...wink,wink, nudge,nudge.
I'd let this one rest in peace if I were you.

This horror comedy is more dorky than funny. A mad scientist steals the rarest of rare first editions of classic monster stories, all so he can bring them to life and rule the world. Well things fall a bit SHORT (ha ha ha ha ha ha) and the classic creatures come out as midgets. Forget that the monsters characterizations are all wrong and that the Wolf Man was created largely in movies and not in a classic book. This movie is just made to laugh at and, as with most of Full Moon's fodder, is quite entertaining in its own moronic way.

Having just sat through this movie for the first time, I would have to say that Phil Fondacaro, who plays Dracula is really the only reason to watch this. He is a solid actor who makes you believe you are looking at Dracula made smaller.I would not say this is a horror movie, because nobody dies. Too bad really, because to watch Phil tear open at least one victims throat would have made it much scarier.It plays out more like a Children's Halloween film, except there is some nudity. There is no foul language that I can remember, so cut out the nude scene and this could be on Nickelodean. I liked it okay,because I love the old Universal monsters...well any monsters for that matter. But if they had played it a little darker,with real threats,and kills,and less hamminess(such as the annoying scientist) this could have been a much more fulfilling watch.I would love to see a sequel made to this, with the monsters really cutting loose. Come on Charles Band, spend another eight hundred dollars, and make us a sequel with blood in it!

Phil Fondacaro is in a ton of Full Moon and related flicks, i love the fact that not only is he a great actor, he wont take a role that makes fun of little people and that's pretty cool considering that there probably isn't alot of roles for little people and the fact that he hasn't sold out is awesome.The movie is just okay, i can say that great time was taken on the make-up for a low budget. In the end its Phil who gives this movie heart, i've seen him in everything from Full Moon flicks to Sabrina The Teenage Witch, hes just a cool guy to watch on film.

Ok I know its a full moon movie so don't expect a block buster cast or even story ,but it was shot really good and it did have story to it which made it fun in a way. I thought this movie could of been played on tv like the ifc channel. It could even be a good monster movie for kids to watch. I really thought it was funny how they named a couple full moon movies in the movie. Good way to make fans check out your other movies. No matter what I will always be a fan of full moon/charles band movies and products.

If you're a fan of other FULL MOON productions (Puppet Master, Blood Dolls, Hideous!, Head Of The Family, Shrieker, etc.) in general, or Charles Band (writer of Puppet Master, director of Hideous!, founder of Full Moon) in particular, you'll love THE CREEPS. If not, you may be in for a miserable time. I love these goofy movies myself, so this one fits right into my twisted collection. A librarian (Rhonda Griffin from Hideous!) must fend off both the advances of her overly-attentive boss (Kristen Norton), and the devilish plans of Count Dracula (Phil Fondacaro from Blood Dolls). Can she defeat the tiny prince of darkness and his mob of mini-monsters? Let us hope so! Though ultra-silly and slow in spots, at only 75 mins., the story zips right along! Add it to your freak folio...

This is a fun, yet frightening movie. Classic monsters played by little people. Despite the premise, the actors in the monster roles are not played for laughs, especially Dracula. Entertaining, fun, and thought provoking as well. Not to mention, a little scary. You will enjoy this film.

This is one of the better full moon movies. The acting is decent and the monsters take their roles seriously. Yes, this is a comedy but it is the situation and not the monsters that make it so. I have to recommend this to everyone.
