Guide Note

Adapted from the book The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers tells the eerie tale of a small town whose inhabitants begin to act unlike themselves. As it turns out, the reason they have that dead look in their eyes is that they are dead—their real bodies have been destroyed by giant seedpod aliens that assume their bodies' shape once they fall asleep.
