(Colorado Springs, CO) - CREEP! - a dark comedy, docu-drama about the making of the The Creeping Terror � is nine days through its 35-day production schedule that began on June 25. In May, CREEP! filmmakers met their Kickstarter goal and raised more than $70,000 in 60 days -- just enough to begin production and bring the monster to life.

Produced by Colorado-native Nancy Theken and written and directed by Pete Schuermann, the award-winning duo recounts the never-been-told tale of A.J. Nelson (played by actor Josh Phillips) and his audacious effort to make a monster movie in 1964. As a thank you to donor(s) for their contribution of $10,000 or more, Schuermann and Theken will host a private dinner in Los Angeles with four-time Academy Award winner Richard Edlund. Financial supporters are still needed and welcome.

�The old saying in showbiz that �movies aren�t made, they are forced into existence� has definitely proven to be true,� said CREEP! executive producer Nancy Theken. �The beautiful thing about CREEP! is that there are so many fans around the globe, from Los Angeles to London, excited about this film.�

This feature film will shoot 95-percent on location in Colorado Springs, Colo. with a talented cast, crew, props and post-production almost entirely from Colorado. After two years of researching, casting, scouting locations, securing interviews, filming the trailer and crowdfunding via Kickstarter, CREEP! is ready for its close-up.

�I�ve said it before and I�ll say it again, we have some high caliber actors and a talented crew,� added Schuermann. �The making of this movie wouldn�t be possible without them and the amazing support from our community. Now let�s make a movie, Colorado!�
