Did you know They Live is based on two previous short stories? ( conspiracy )

submitted by Smartech

It's an interesting fact that the movie "They Live" by John Carpenter was made after two short stories, the "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" by Ray Nelson in 1963, and "The Ten O'Clock People" by Stephen King in 1993. Once can be a mistake, twice can be a coincidence, thrice is deliberation. Now we have three identical stories about a concealed invasion by humanoids who run our world because able to be invisible among humans. Anybody intelligent can understand that it must be truesome.

"They Live" was released in 1988.

My god, it's almost as if science fiction writers play off each others' work.

Or that art imitates reality

They Live is from 1988 though.

OK. We still have three identical stories.

Stephen King even ripped off Nelson's story title. What an asshole.

This is a difficult topic:

Sometimes the enemy puts this information out to discredit researchers, and to lull the public into a sense of security.

Sometimes, smart people who are attuned to the world, via the sixth sense of empathy, pick up these things, put them to paper, and warn the vanguard of society about their fears.

There is a way to determine the case: You investigate the people making these stories. I am not too sure about john carpenter or ray nelson, but steven king is in my opinion a compromised person.

Regardless, this concept of a stealth invasion is not new, and is a fear that should never leave our minds.

Could you tell us what you mean by saying Steven King is "compromised." I am not disagreeing, but am simply not sure what you mean. Upvoted nevertheless for being interesting.

I think king is a CIA asset, at the very least a propaganda tool.

jervybingly

He fits the profile.

If you are interested, there is also the 1955 "The Body Snatchers" by Jack Finney, with the movie made in 1956. Also the 1959 "The Manchurian Candidate" by Richard Condon with the movie made in 1962. It simply can't be a coincidence.
