Cast Linnea Quigley as Blanca Ken Abraham as Butch Michael Aranda as Jesse Richard S. Hawkins as Jake Ashlyn Gere (credited as Kim McKamy), as Kate Joi Wilson as Woman Production In a 2001 interview, Director David DeCoteau, when asked about the movie's production, said "Creepozoids was shot in 15 days in a warehouse in Los Angeles. I think the budget was something like 150k. It was a difficult shoot because of all the FX and monster sequences. Lotsa slime and very ambitious. Linnea Quigley starred in it and we had a great time working together. It was my first feature shot in 35mm. It was theatrically released and a hit on video." Cast member Ashlyn Gere was a noted pornographic film actress. Reception Critical reception for the film has been mostly negative. TV Guide awarded the film 1 star out of 4 calling it an Alien imitation. Editor of Psychotronic Video, Michael Weldon, described the creature effects as "pretty bad", saying the baby monster at the film's end was the "only scary part".
