However, the majority of the book is taken up with a terrifically entertaining and informative interview with Kevin McCarthy himself. Also interviewed is Dana Wynter, who co-starred in the original. Ferrara is himself interviewed and is as outspoken as ever. Other essays take a look at the remakes that were directed by Philip L. Breen, James Combs, and Fred Blosser write about Jack Finney, the author of the book that served as the basis for the film. For instance, Stephen King and Dean Koontz both write about how seeing the original film influenced their later approach to horror. And that led to me remembering a book that I found at Half-Price Books a few years ago.įirst published in 1999, They’re Here is a tribute to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, featuring essays about the films and interviews with some of the people involved. This led to me remembering McCarthy’s iconic performance in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (as well as his cameo in the 70s version). On Saturday night, I watched Piranha, which featured the great character actor Kevin McCarthy in a supporting role.
