Why It Crackles

Movie Details

John Carpenter directed sci-fi cult classic that proves that aliens really do have feelings.

- This script was being developed at Columbia at the same time as another script about an alien visitation. The studio didn’t want to make both, so they decided to make this one and let the other script go to a rival studio. The other script was for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

- Unfortunately this is the only John Carpenter film to have an Academy Award nomination (Jeff Bridges, Best Actor).
