@Virgil Under the mountain was scary AF - WIlberforces
Did oyu ever watch the re-make? I didnt, not sure if I want to.
Late to this party ...
I'm still pissed off Ricky died ...
Children of Fire Mountain wss quite good too
The Mad Dig Gang meet Rotten Fred and Rats Guts. But I think that was a one off tele movie.

@Nepia it's on IMDB so it must be real
@booboo I remember the name Children of Fire Mountain but just looked at it on IMDB too and shows as 1979 (I was 5) and doesnt look familiar to me.
Phew, I'm not crazy!
I wonder if they were part of a series?
Hmm, I thought Greer Robson was in Dog Star but IMDB says no.

Anyone remember the bbc Scifi series the tripods?
Now that was some scary shit.
Triffids you mean?
Nope there was one called Tripods. The scare factor really depended on how old you were. I’m guessing I’m older than @mooshld
-
There was another sci-fi series about the same time as Tripods, called I think V. Aliens overtaking Earth. Usual shit but I do remember them swallowing hamsters.
I think.
-
I think I'm older than both of you. I was too old for The TV series but I remember reading the trilogy by John Christopher it was based on as a young kid and thoroughly enjoying it. I've been a sucker for an alien invasion book/movie ever since
The Triffids (movie) scared the beejuzuz out of me when I first saw it. The Wyndham book not so much - found things like Midwich Cuckoos more disturbing
and yes, from memory, The Masters (Tripods) were partial to a hor d'ouevre of live Hamster

@Catogrande Your right - It was the Visitors that ate rodents!
-
@Catogrande V was pretty fucking cool. ha ha the effects when they ate mice and had the fake throat stretch. Creepy fucking lizards.
The reboot in the 2000's had a smoking hot evil lizard lady if I recall correctly.

V was great. Some hot women as well

IIRC V was a mini series in the early to mid 80s that screened on TVNZ but they never picked up the actual series. But, when TV3 started they picked it up even though it was a few years old (probably because it was cheap) ... TV3 came late to HB but my cousin in Auckland recorded all episodes so I got to watch them in the holidays.
Another NZ show which popped into my head the other day is Space Knights, a puppet space King Arthur story that was made by TVNZ in the late 80s. I only remembered it because the theme song Space Junk popped into my head when I read an article about space junk (man made debris floating around up there). No idea how that popped into my brain.

I only remember the song, it's existence and the puppets, but no memory of it's quality so I believe you that it sucked.
