STRANGE INVADERS / EMI Films - 1983

It's Alien Invasion Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. We gots a little weirdie from 1983 starring Paul (AMERICAN GRAFFITI) Le Mat, Nancy (CARRIE) Allen, Louise (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST) Fletcher with June (LOST IN SPACE) Lockart and Kenneth (THE THING) Tobey.

Eegah!! sent us over a soundclip from the movie, the country pop theme, for our approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there next to the dirty laundry chute, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... STRANGE INVADERS!

Paul plays Charlie, his ex-wife has disappeared so he plans to travel to where she grew up, a small rural town in the Midwest, to look for her.

Charlie arrives in Centerville (next to Edgeburg) and finds out that nobody knows anything about his ex-wife or even her family!.. And, it's frustrating.

Kenneth Tobey pops in occassionally, this lucky guy got to make out with Faith Domergue in IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA.

Meanwhile, the Strange Invaders are starting to make themselves known!

Karen Allen works for a tabloid newspaper. Here, she makes fun of Charlie for believing in monsters from outer space while she smokes in the elevator..

When an alien disguised as a human gets punctured, Nickelodeon slime comes out!

Then, Louise Fletcher shows up to complicate matters, who's the real star?

Any car buff would die to have this 1957 Ford Fairlane with fender skirts and a Continental Kit! This model was one of four small plastic Fords I got from Post Cereal way back in 1957!

Kids even have the fun of turning into creatures from Hell!.. Boo-Ya!!

When the mother ship finally arrives, all the Strange Invaders can rip off their crappy human masks and leave this miserable planet!

There are lots of special effects at the end... Ahh, those eighties sci-fi movies!

I remember seeing this when it came out and really liking it, yet I've never seen it a second time.
