For me, without the alien probing scene, Fire in the sky could be a metaphor for unspoken male abuse. The fact that Travis disappeared for days and came back with injuries, trauma, and a story he could barely utter to anyone would support this, especially for those who didn't buy that he was abducted. Does anyone else see the parallels?

[@johngarcia2374]

I swear this traumatized me as a kid and growing up I never knew what the movie was called but all I could do is remember that abduction scene😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

The fact it can be referred to as "THAT abduction scene" really hammers home how impactful it is!

[@brokenwithin38]

Man, no abduction film has ever shook me to my soul like The Fourth Kind. PLEASE do a Nightmare Fuel vid about that one!

[@singIeservingfriend]

Along with the original It, this film really freaked me out. Something more famous horror films never did. Even watching now at 40 it creeps me out.

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

It's horrifically creepy!

[@Gonk]

Yes this scared the shit outta me as a kid and gave me one of my most horrible nightmares and it was me in a blinding white room with one round window and in the room were lots of people just looking at me and people I knew and family members, they then all grabbed me and lifted me up and shoved my face into the round window and I was forced to look in it and then bam an alien face popped out and I woke up shooting up from my bed screaming in a sweat. Thanks Fire in the Sky for that :(

[@gustavoclarindo101]

Damn that's a horrifying dream😱😱

[@mrmannyman2]

Assuming the story the guy who told the story truly believes what he says happened to him, it chills me to imagine what actually happened to him for his trauma to imagine a weird alien scenario

[@ethantinsley8185]

I mean, I don't see why it wouldn't be aliens. Perhaps a government experiment misinterpreted as aliens, or a terrestrial species that were alien like in nature. Whatever the case may be, what they experienced was very real and vivid.

3:33 OMFG, the Fallout guy made me laugh and I shot mountain dew out my nose. Mountain dew burns like a bastard.

[@schizoidboy]

I heard the story first in a 70s UFO documentary and in a book on UFO encounters, so I heard the original story years before seeing this movie. It is atmospheric right up to the scary scenes, but after hearing what else happened which to my view was less horrific than the operating room incident (which is creepy and unsettling) it just seemed like artistic license that needed to add something that wasn't in the original account.

[@tomthemantv6482]

I love the fact when Travis Walton talks about certain scenes the filmmakers made up, how he explains they are just being creative. I do wish the movie could have been closer to the book.

[@kevinfinnerty8414]

Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers and the Tall Man from Phantasm. ALL just made me laugh as a kid in their slasher/Comedy films. However “Fire in the Sky” was PG13 Nightmare Fuel for me.

[@pilotman463]

This film is incredibly underrated, it's the best film that's about the classic alien abduction stereotype except they explain those stereotypes and details while staying a normal alien abduction story, it adds so many elements that master the formula that so many have failed to master despite the formula being simple

[@Brokenmachine83]

Terrified me as a child. I won't go back and rewatch it. Same with Backdraft. I'm a huge horror movie buff now, but all the horror I've watched has nothing on those two films for me.

[@neoream3606]

I saw this as a kid and it made me have nightmares for years

I saw this movie when I was younger and it scared soooooooo bad. I still cant watch it

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

That finale is a HORRENDOUS watch!

[@Gonk]

Did you happen to watch "The Fourth Kind" ? That one is also a creeper :)

[@WarlockX4]

I remember seeing this in the theater with my friend who was a huge UFO person back in the day. I was bored out of my mind.

[@53v3n_L1v3z]

I live in Colorado springs and every time I go into the mountains I think about this movie lol.

[@realwhelan]

love this channel! keep going :D

[@DroppedYourSoul]

Considering the size and scope of the known universe, you have to be thick af to believe we are the only intelligent life that exists. The dramatization of anal probes and eye needles really discredit any story where they appear. Any sentient beings that have conqured the ability to travel the profund distances needed to observe us will not be interested in our orifices. It is absurd to think that. We tend to project our worst traits on the unknown. Fear is connected to our survival, after all. It is a good scare, but it is all projection. Nobody's asshole is that important to a species that can travel faster than light or bend spacetime.

[@LeonserGT]

Reg. the first sentence - I thought so too, until I rethinked that during university while studying math statistics and probability theory, it just occured to me that all those arguments creationists are using to doubt the evolution theory are in fact correct, its just that they don't understand probabilities. Yes, it takes a specific kind of star and distance from the star for an earth-like world to form, yes it took some incredible chance for basic elements in a primordial soup to form a first cell and for that to evolve for billions of years into us, but it doesn't automatically mean that the evolution theory is false - it just highlights the true vastness of space - even if for all those factors to align it was 0,0000000000000001% chance to happen, it's just that the universe is SO big, that no matter how small chances of something happening are - it did happen here, on Earth. Unfortunately, that also shows how scarce the life in the universe most likely is and even if those factors did align somewhere else again so perfectly, it still doesn't mean that: - life there evolved past marine life; - life there evolved into species with similar level of intelligence; - life there survived possible cosmic cataclysms like solar flares or huge meteors; - civilization, if formed, developed past stone age; - developed past industrialization; - developed space flight; - actually figured out how to escape their own solar system; - actually made it that far to reach us; - and finally, didn't make first contact of whatever type it could be (including total annihilation and colonization of our world) yet; While I still think that we're not alone in the universe, they might have just the same troubles as us right about now, they might be still in medieval ages, or maybe they ended themselves with nuke-like means before becoming a proper space faring civilization. Basically, we will likely never meet them any time soon, and if we won't end ourselves as well, we might as well be one of the first space faring civilizations out there.

This movie is currently free on KZbin movies.

[@audiemurphy1925]

A good movie for nightmare fuel I suggest is we where soldiers I think it’s is a pretty brutal movie since the night battles for insanity as they would go hand-in-hand and literally using their helmets and bear fist to kill each other and especially the scene of the napalm from the fires inflicted on American forces so it’s just a scene with no music no sound just to burn men

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

Thank you for the suggestion Franco!

[@darkforestzombie218]

It's the fucking 'experiment' scene that I hate.

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

Soooooooo much 😩

I love this movie, and yes it get's under my skin!

Lmfao, what are the odds.. i just watched the author on the episode for "moment of truth"..

[@keithmichael112]

it would be wild if I made up some bs about aliens so my gf doesn't get mad at me and it became a movie

[@frontlinewitness]

Something interesting is Mike, the driver, admitted it was all a hoax.

[@ericburton5914]

When did he do that?

[@cfhcowboy9292]

I believe Travis I've watched interviews the dude has seen some shit definitely
