I watched this classic horror film (the orginal 1956 version) recently and I am a little puzzled. Nasty pods from outer space are hatching soul-less replicas of adjacent humans, but what happens to the original people, or their bodies? I think someone asks this in the film but I don't recall a clear answer. Can anyone explain?  |

You could have stumbled on one of those classic errors.
The synopsis of the book states that the people are being 'taking over' and that might be one interpretation of 'replaced'.

So what happened to the real Gordon Brown?

Blimey, it's ages since I've seen the original. Don't they just disappear once taken over? Later versions show empty husks left.

Well erm they're snatched of course! Or something like that.
I'm a huge fan of the Philip Kaufman version myself. Mainly because of one of those iconic seventies Donald Sutherland performances, back when he was king.

If it's a caper, eat it.

I was too scared to question what happened to the bodies when I saw the original. The Kaufman version is probably my fave though. Definitely better than the Kidman/Craig version.
