I'm thinking of saving zombies, werewolves and other supernatural-type creatures (though i realize zombies can be artificially spawned) for a similar "Monster Week" in the fall. I'd probably place Maximum Overdrive into that category, but Piranha is a good suggestion -- I don't have a really good, low-budget film in my line-up.
I rented The Descent a while back, but didn't get through the first 20 minutes or so -- the opening scenes really freaked me out, striking a little too close to home. Tentacled monsters attacking cruise ships in the middle of the Pacific? Bring it on! Bad stuff happening to four-year-olds ... the geek dad in me just had too hard of a time with that.
I've never seen "Silver Bullet" -- is that the one that Stephen King wrote the screen play for?
