“They’re mean, mischievous, and downright deadly—meet The Creeps!”

“Lock your doors, crank up the soundtrack—The Creeps are here to destroy your holiday season!”
Author’s Summary: A nostalgic mix of horror and comedy, The Creeps revives the chaotic fun of 1980s monster films with modern flair just in time for the winter season.
