Description: Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 American horror film theatrically released on July 25, 1986, to both critical and commercial failure.

A diner cook, Bill Robinson, emerges as the unlikely leader of the pack, attempting to find an escape plan for himself and the survivors, who include his boss, Bubba Hendershot, and a newlywed couple. Despite being a box office flop, the film went on to become a cult classic and maintains a solid fan base for its mindless destruction.

Opposing him are Professor Chambers, the inventor, and a group of determined allies trying to keep the technology out of the wrong hands.

Description: Night of the Creeps is a 1986 science fiction horror comedy that is both an earnest attempt at creating a B movie, and an homage to the genre.

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.
