“For years, science has speculated on the existence of intelligent life in space... Now, there is living proof there is no such thing.”

ComedyFamilyScience Fiction

A crew of Martians overhears a radio broadcast of Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" coming from Earth, and, thinking the Martian fleet is attacking Earth, they land their broken-down ship in a backwater mid-American town. As luck would have it, they land on Halloween and get mistaken for trick-or-treaters. Comedy ensues as the Martians try to get taken seriously.

VIBE

A charmingly low-budget sci-fi comedy that feels like a forgotten gem from childhood. It's full of silly aliens, Halloween hijinks, and a heartwarming, if slightly goofy, tale of intergalactic misunderstanding.
