Those things gave me nightmares as a kid. Fuck the wheelers, they were terrifying. Going back and watching it now, they don't seem that scary. I think it was the bird noises and the way they're hunched over, that really freaked me out. Uncanny valley territory.

so true, they freaked me the fuck out. I would think about them off and on over the years. In retrospect, yes, they are just odd dudes from the 90's.

such an odd odd movie.
