A 1986 horror movie features an interesting promotional graphic with possible overt occult symbolism.
An alien “eye” can be seen injecting its influence into household televisions.
Plot:
On an alien planet named Pluton, an alien garbage disposal converts a monstrous mutant called a Hungry Beast into energy and beams it into space. Meanwhile, on Earth, the Putterman family is getting satellite television, courtesy of a temperamental DIY satellite antenna. The reception is poor at first, but suddenly strengthens when a bolt of the alien energy hits the dish.
Interesting premise. A “hungry” alien’s energy “energizes” a person’s sattelite reception.
I’m starting to think T.V. does stand for “TerrorVision”.
The horror section was the best at the local mom and pop video rental store!!
Bad Taste had me intrigued for years and then finally when my friends and I were probably 12, in 1995, I talked them into renting it….
It’s still one of the best alien invasion movies to this day!
Was it that good? 😆
Terror Vision is a pretty fun 80s movie. I don’t think the eye represents the occult, it represents the fear of the changing technology and the side-effects of it.
Who knows but it speaks loudly to the conspiracy of the “idiot box” being a propaganda tool.
So…38 years ago this happened?
The death metal band, Aborted, made an album of the same name, in dedication to this film.
