Mars invaded Earth twice in 1953. In War of the Worlds the Martians blasted us into submission. In Invaders from Mars their plan was to subvert us from within. These are two of my very favorite movies.
I have Invaders From Mars on a LaserDisc from Image, restored to the best possible quality at the time. They later released a 50th Anniversary DVD edition of the title.
A new restoration has been completed and Invaders from Mars is now available in 2K HD and 4K UHD. I have invited those wily Martians to invade my house by ordering a Blu-ray copy.
Thanks a lot! I won’t sleep tonight. That creepy singing in “Invaders” STILL scares the **** out of me. And what could be more horrifying than having your own parents turn into evil alien confederates? The alien implant idea was decades ahead of its time, too.
WOTW was also great. The scene with the reverent preacher walking toward the machine only to get fried traumatized me for weeks.
