If you loved TerrorVision, try these.

The Deadly Spawn poster 01

Movie / 1983 / Drama / Horror / Science Fiction

The Deadly Spawn

Why this pick

Like TerrorVision, it turns an ordinary suburban home into a playground for a ravenous, rubbery alien creature, with scrappy effects, lively young characters, and gleeful video-era monster-movie energy.

Night of the Creeps poster 02

Movie / 1986 / Comedy / Horror / Science Fiction

Night of the Creeps

Why this pick

Its cosmic parasites, teen heroes, B-movie abundance, and knowingly playful horror tone make it a natural companion to TerrorVision’s colorful extraterrestrial gross-out chaos.

Spaced Invaders poster 03

Movie / 1990 / Comedy / Family / Science Fiction

Spaced Invaders

Why this pick

For TerrorVision’s goofy alien-in-the-suburbs appeal, this offers small, foolish extraterrestrials blundering through Halloween-night America with similarly broad, effects-forward charm.

Critters poster 04

Movie / 1986 / Action / Comedy / Horror / Science Fiction / Thriller

Critters

Why this pick

It shares TerrorVision’s blend of suburban family disruption, hungry alien monsters, practical creature effects, and a comic tone that treats its mayhem as a party rather than pure dread.

Bad Taste poster 05

Movie / 1987 / Action / Comedy / Horror / Science Fiction

Bad Taste

Why this pick

Its alien invasion, proudly gooey handmade effects, and manic bad-taste humor match the DIY exuberance behind TerrorVision, though with a more splattery and anarchic edge.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

On an alien planet named Pluton, an alien garbage disposal converts a monstrous mutant called a Hungry Beast into energy and beams it into space. Meanwhile, on Earth, the Putterman family is getting satellite television, courtesy of a temperamental DIY satellite antenna. The reception is poor at first, but suddenly strengthens when a bolt of the alien energy hits the dish.
