McCreedy

Background

McCreedy is a security guard at a film studio in Los Angeles, California. He has been a security guard for the film studio for about 30 years and has never missed a day of work. McCreedy was once in the Army where his specialty was explosives.


During the events of Hobgoblins (1988) played by Jeffrey Culver

McCreedy walks up to Dennis and chastises him for wearing headphones while on duty. The phone rings and McCreedy chastises Dennis once again for not answering the phone. They do their security rounds around the film lot and Dennis asks about a vault area, and McCreedy tells him there is nothing down there. Comstock calls McCreedy over the walkie-talkie and tells him he needs to see him. Comstock complains to McCreedy that he didn't answer the phone and asks him about beer cans he found near the front gate. McCreedy notices static coming from his walkie-talkie and runs towards the vault. He makes it back to the vault and finds Dennis dead on the ground, and he quickly closes the vault door. Later, McCreedy tells Comstock that Dennis quit and Comstock blames him and mentions every time they hire a new guard, they only last a few weeks. McCreedy insists he can do the job by himself, but Comstock tells him they need a second security guard in case McCreedy can't show up and their insurance is voided if no one is on duty. Kevin is hired as a replacement for Dennis. McCreedy takes Kevin on a tour of the lot and tells him to stay away from the vault area. McCreedy shows him a revolver he keeps at the security guard station, but tells him he has never needed to use it. At work, McCreedy notices something is on Kevin's mind and asks what is the matter. Kevin complains Amy is never happy with him. Something starts to beep and McCreedy sees Thug sneaking around on the security camera. McCreedy drives off in the golf cart to confront the Thug and is ambushed by the Thug, who puts a knife to McCreedy's throat. Kevin runs to McCreedy and the Thug and threatens to shoot the Thug, who eventually runs away. McCreedy goes to call the police while Kevin goes to look for the Thug on the lot. Kevin calls McCreedy on the walkie-talkie and tells him he is going down to the vault area and leaves his walkie talkie behind. McCreedy warns him not to go into the vault, but Kevin can't hear him. He catches Kevin as he is opening the vault, but it is too late and the Hobgoblins escape. McCreedy tells Kevin the story of the Hobgoblins, who he has been trying to keep from escaping for thirty years. He tells him the Hobgoblins crash landed and at first he thought they were friendly, but as time went on they started to destroy everyone they met and he locked them in the vault. McCreedy tells Kevin he has to track down the Hobgoblins and kill them before dawn. Later, McCreedy tells Comstock the Hobgoblins have broken out, but Comstock doesn't believe him and fires McCreedy. McCreedy shoots a Hobgoblin produced "Thug" who is about to shoot Kevin and another Hobgoblin that was hiding in the van dies. The remaining Hobgoblins run back towards the vault and McCreedy goes after them. Kevin starts to follow him and Amy gives him a kiss. Kevin offers to guard the Hobgoblins from now on, but McCreedy refuses to allow Kevin to make that sacrifice and blows up the vault, killing the Hobgoblins. He calls Comstock and tells him the film vault exploded and no one was on duty when it happened so they won't be covered by insurance. Kyle then asks to use McCreedy's phone.
