Night of the Creeps

In 1959, two aliens on board a spacecraft keep an experiment from being released by a third member of the crew. The seemingly possessed third alien shoots the canister into space where it crashes to Earth. Nearby, a college man takes his date to a parking spot when they see a falling star and investigate. It lands in the path of an escaped criminally insane patient. As his date is attacked by the axe-wielding maniac, the boy finds the canister, from which a small slug-like thing jumps out and into his mouth. Twenty-seven years later, Chris Romero joins a fraternity to impress a girl named Cynthia Cronenberg. During pledge week, they steal a frozen corpse from the university medical center and deposit it on the steps of a rival fraternity house. The thawed corpse then kills a medical student working at the lab. Detective Ray Cameron is called in to investigate the break-in. The next day, Chris and his friend J.C. are taken in for questioning by the police after a janitor witnesses them running out of the university medical center. However, it's soon revealed that the dead medical student rises from his slab and attacks others, revealing the infected corpses to be zombies. As more people fall ill, Chris teams up with Cynthia and Detective Cameron to destroy the undead and escape the campus.
