John Carpenter’s They Live is a 1988 action horror film starring the late-great wrestling superstar Rowdy Roddy Piper. Piper portrays a homeless drifter who stumbles across a box full of hyper-advanced sunglasses that provide him with the sight to view skull-faced spacemen who are subliminally enslaving humans. With an unforgettable Piper / Keith David smackdown at its center, They Live went on to become a cult classic and its “OBEY” message was adopted by famous street artists like Shepard Fairey. This paranoid, Reagan-era freakout is one of Carpenter’s most entertaining and subversive films. If you like balls-out action, social commentary, and ’80s synth-rock, this is the movie for you!
