The good news is your date is here. The bad news is...He's dead.

In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies.
In Night of the Creeps, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “alien parasite outbreak”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing infection, college, zombie, fear, authority.
Films fighting at the same level of reality, about the same things.
The same preoccupations examined at another scale — one mind versus a nation.
Other films that change a standing rule of their world — ranked first by those bending it at the same rung.
