AboutPopcorn Guy Expertise I`m pretty good in most every genre of movie, but horror and sci-fi are my best categories. I`m also pretty good on the old studio films of the 30`s - `50`s.

Question Here it is, A kid wakes up to find lights in his back yard finding a space ship, Then he notices that one by one people start having band aids on thiere necks, and they picking at it all the time. he also finds out that the aliens are converting humans into walking puppets and he is the only one that has not been pricked in the neck so everybody is going after him oh he also is carrying a penny in a flat square container. at the end he wakes up and it is all a dream and goes to hug his parents and they have band aids on thier necks and it starts all over again. If you can tell me what movie that is and hopefully i haven't conffused you please tell me I havn't seen this movie since I was a kid and I would like to see it again. Thanks
Answer Hi, Robert...
The film you are looking for is called "Invaders From Mars." It's a remake of a 1950's film, pretty much with the same exact plotline. The one you saw was directed by Tobe Hooper, of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" fame. You should try to find the original, though... it's just as creepy, and, in some ways, more.
