- GoofsIn the opening scene, when Sherrif Hoxley is getting a bottle of soda pop out of the machine and talking to Russell on his radio, reflected in the window over the machine are two rather-tall palm trees, trees which are not native to Big Bean, Illinois.

Featured review
A nostalgic thing for me, rewatching this silly flick brings me back to my childhood days watching the TV in our living room.
Its silly, its aliens, its halloween, its fun for kids.
The concept and plot are simple and straightforward. Its kindof inspired by the war of the worlds radio broadcast. The aliens misinterpret a halloween rebroadcast as a real invasion and decide to join in.
Father and daughter move to new town, father is sheriff, its halloween so the typical oblivious townfolk think the invading aliens are just kids in costumes.
The acting was decent rarely good. The kids and aliens were alright. The old people were fun.
The stereotypical Mr Klembecker was probably fun to act.
There are a lot of silly jokes in this flick.
Can you spot the 2 Star Trek costumes?
The Props and Decor are Good, some special effects and a miniature. Personally i prefer practical to cgi.
Its a silly kids movie but to me its meant enough to give it a 5.8 instead of the 4.4 i would give. Definitely not more than a 7 or less then a 3.
