Frase di John Carpenter

[Da un'intervista sul film Essi vivono (They Live), London Times, 22 giugno 1989]

[So it's about seeing the world in two different ways - normally and through the sun-glasses, which show the truth. We shot every scene twice, which was time consuming; dressing a whole street of billboards with subliminal messages was a pain in the ass. Strangely, though, most people didn't notice, which was also frightening. Especially the newsstand display, where the magazine covers were plastered with slogans, they passed right by without paying any attention at all.]
