Description
Vyzygoth the Great Interviews Author Roy Nelson, upon Whose Short Story the Film "They Live" is Based. From the Vyzygoth Archive.
They Live!" starring Randy Roddy Piper. I had heard that it was based upon a short story called Eight O'Clock in the Morning, so I decided to look it up. It's by Ray Nelson, who co-wrote a book (The Ganymede Takeover) with his boyhood friend, Philip K. Dick, the science fiction genius. One of his quotes (Ray's) is that the only two times in which Philip K. Dick took LSD was when he gave it to him. He also wrote Blake's Progress AKA Timequest, based on the medieval character of William Blake
