The Creeps

Anna Quarrels works in the library’s Rare Books Room and becomes the target of Berber’s scheme. She shows courage under pressure, resisting the arch-charted ritual and collaborating with David to outsmart the villain. Her knowledge of manuscripts helps guide the escape and the saving of the legendary artifacts.

David is a private detective hired to track down the manuscript thief. He exhibits determination and film-savvy insight, chasing clues through libraries and laboratories. He ultimately helps free Anna and confronts Berber as the monsters emerge.

Berber is a scholar with multiple doctorates who abducts rare manuscripts to power his device. He is obsessed with controlling archetypal forces and using them to summon the horror icons. His laboratory rituals culminate in a dramatic clash with Anna and David.

Dracula is one of the monsters brought to life by Berber’s machine, though the process renders them small in stature. He embodies classic vampire menace within a quirky, miniature form. He participates in the monster ensemble that plots against the protagonists.

The Wolfman is another summoned archetype, part of the mini-monster ensemble. Despite his fearsome lineage, he shares the same diminutive size and comic edge as the others. He joins in the pursuit of Anna and the manuscripts.

Monster is among the quartet of horror icons invoked by Berber. Like the others, he is portrayed in a diminutive form, yet still carries the menace and power associated with the character. He is drawn into the struggle to decide the fate of the manuscripts.

The Mummy is part of the forced resurrection alongside Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein’s Monster. He participates in the pursuit of Anna and the struggle against Berber’s machine, representing ancient curses and timeless menace. His appearance complements the film’s mix of horror and humor.

Christina is Anna’s supervisor who gets mistaken for her and later reappears as a Viking figure, grabbing Berber and vanishing with him. This turn underlines the film’s playful, fantastical tone and the chaos of the machine’s effects. She becomes an unlikely catalyst in the climax.
