Published

on

Directed by Brad Leo Lyon, and starring oe Estevez, Maniac Cop‘s Robert Z’Dar, Dustin Diamond, Lark Voorhies, Brad Leo Lyon, and Aurelian Smith aka Jake the Snake Roberts, comes the indie comedy Little Creeps.

The Demonicron is REAL! At least that’s what obsessed college professor Vern Drake (Joe Estevez) believes about a book said to open the gateway to hell. This leads to ridicule by his colleagues Cordell (Robert Z’dar) and Donnely (Dustin Diamond) as well as his students, which include screwball jocks Alex and Brock (Brad Leo Lyon) who is the son of pro wrestling legend Richard Hertz (Aurelian Smith). Pushed over the edge after being fired by the dean (Lark Voorhies), Drake locates the book and plans to conjure the demons from within its pages to get his revenge. However, when he only manages to translate half the words required to summon them, he only gets half sized demons. Now the demons are anxious to prove that though they are half the size, they are double the trouble!
