Freaky blue eyes, freaky voice, freaky aliens come here to occupy us humans again.

I am so there.

Here’s the trailer for the movie version of the book “The Host,” by the same lady who wrote the “Twilight” series — although this time no vampires or werewolves.

Just irksome invasion-of-body-snatchers kind of thing.

Enjoy:

You Are Now Entering the "Twilight" Zone of Inevitable Online Video Spoofs http://allthingsd.com/20081124/the-twilight-zone-and-inevitable-online-spoofs/ http://allthingsd.com/20081124/the-twilight-zone-and-inevitable-online-spoofs/#comments Mon, 24 Nov 2008 16:00:23 +0000 Kara Swisher http://kara.allthingsd.com/?p=6827

As BoomTown expected, the popularity of the chaste-yet-lustful vampire movie for screaming teen girls everywhere, “Twilight,” has inspired more online video spoofs than you can shake a braided rope of garlic at.

Rabid fans of Stephenie Meyer’s book series flew into theaters all weekend, adding up to a $70.5 million U.S. box office tally so far.

Thus, we are in for more online videos in praise and in mockery of Edward and Bella than perhaps even Alaska Governor Sarah Palin engendered.

Here’s one of the oh-so-serious “Twilight” trailers, followed by one of the better spoofs–by Evil Iguana Productions–below it:
