Fun Facts
They Live (1988)
After Nada (Roddy Piper) and Frank (Keith David) go through a portal created by one of the alien’s wristwatches, they spy two aliens who are using the PKE Meter as a walkie-talkie. Later, after the newsroom breaks out in chaos, a few more aliens use the meters as communications devices. More images found on the Ghostbusters Wiki. (Frame grabs from Blu-ray done by me, Paul Rudoff.)
BUY – Blu-ray, DVD, DVD 4-Movie Midnight Marathon Pack, DVD John Carpenter 4-Film Collection. The DVD released by Universal Studios includes the movie and nothing else, so if you have a Blu-ray player, get the Shout Factory 2012 Collector’s Edition Blu-ray.
