Right in the very movie moment when they heard it, the words completely freaked out the sinister skin-walking aliens of John Carpenter’s action-horror classic They Live.

This movie is a banger. This was the highlight every year while watching WPIX 11 NY in the early 90’s during their annual Shocktober run of horror films during October.

Typically hosted by Elvira it was the flag that let us kids know the year was coming to a close and the best movies were about to be shown.

The list is pretty good!

I don't know if that's your blog or not, but it hit me right in the memories!

Watching cable horror movies at night on a janky old TV and a cable splitter, all alone but feeling like you were part of a community of people you never met... I wouldn't want to go back to those times now, but they do make great memories to revisit!

Thanks for sharing!
