alien abductions in movies and TV Wow
nice – hey hey what’s the big idea
stop abducting me for this list we’re
taking a look at big and small screen
moments in which characters are abducted
by extraterrestrial beings
whether the victims are secondary TV
characters or stars of the film these
alien abductions left us dazed confused
and most often terrified number 10
Peter quill star-lord guardians of the
galaxy yup it has been I’ve gone okay
this superhero comic book adaptation
introduces us early on to Peter quill a
young boy whose mother is lying on her
deathbed
oh consumed by grief Peter runs
pell-mell from the hospital to a nearby
green space where he’s descended upon by
an alien spacecraft after which he’s
whipped into a vortex of light we later
discovered that his abduction may not
have actually been all that bad though
after all he does go on to become an
intergalactic hero so there’s that with
a guard once the galaxy number 9 Eric
Cartman South Park whoa Cartman looks
like you didn’t get much sleep last
night that could have a family
well guess not man in the animated TV
series pilot episode the plot revolves
around some peculiarities that the young
Eric Cartman is experiencing did they
give you an anal probe Oh
probe that’s when they put this big
metal hoop would you up your butt whoa
they gave you an anal probe Cartman yeah
he’s had what he believes to be a
nightmare about being abducted by aliens
the night before but in actuality he
really was abducted by aliens not only
that but they’ve implanted a strange
device in his nether regions that
alternates between a mind-control device
and a mechanism that shoots fire
whenever Cartman farts
this plot is revisited in a season 7
episode titled canceled and we have to
admit it never gets old
this is so awesome I don’t think I made
it out of that proctologist office guys
I think I died and went to heaven that
does it charge number 8 Homer Simpson
The Simpsons your garters are getting
cold got angry moley
Homer Simpson has gotten into so much
mischief on earth now we got to go to
space after having already been abducted
along with this whole family back in the
first treehouse of horror Homer is
visited again by the same aliens Kang
and kodos in the 7th Simpsons Halloween
special where he is forcibly abducted
and then consulted on the upcoming
presidential election stop we have
reached the limits of what rectal
probing can teach us this is a mission
of conquest take us to your leader well
it’s not the most terrifying alien
abduction to be presented on screen it’s
definitely one of the most odd
particularly when the aliens assume the
identities of President Bill Clinton and
Bob Dole abortions for some miniature
American flags for others number 7
professor Donald Kessler and Natalie
Lake Mars Attacks in this 90s sci-fi
comedy earth has been invaded by
Martians who are intent on world
domination by any means necessary
while they’re slaughtering a good number
of the population the Martians have also
abducted talk show host
Natalie Lake and professor Donald
Kessler whom they’ve been conducting
experiments on this alien abduction
scene is slightly gross if not silly
what with the whole body swapping in
Chihuahua bodies Natalie is that you are
you feeling I’m probably good I’m afraid
but it’s also an opportunity for romance
to bloom between the two captives which
makes it especially memorable as well by
my dad I wish things could be different
I love you number six the Galaxy Quest
Crew Galaxy Quest
most washed-up actors would jump at the
chance to revive their careers but
probably very few would be willing to do
it via alien-abduction all systems are
working commander I don’t like it it’s
too easy in this sci-fi action comedy
the story centers on a group of actors
who starred in a television series about
their adventures as a space crew that
travels the galaxies and rights wrongs
requesting for interstellar v25 pods for
immediate departure at a Galaxy Quest
convention they think they’ve been
approached about a new acting gig when
they’re suddenly transported onto a real
spaceship and are commissioned for their
assistance by the thermians in warding
off a marauding alien villain see you
guys cave who wants the Grand Tour it’s
a seemingly light-hearted abduction that
deceptively lands Jason Nesmith and
company in the middle of an
intergalactic battle for supremacy and
survival how adorable the actors are
going to play war with me number 5 David
Freeman flight of the navigator visit
macho man not afraid a little wind are
you this sci-fi fantasy flicks centers
on a young boy who falls down a ravine
goes missing for eight years and then
suddenly reappears have we located the
parents feel look at the date what about
it must be a title so what happened as
it turns out his fall down the ravine
was a child friendly alien abduction
that leads to a fantastical journey
across the universe and that eventually
allows him to navigate a spaceship there
he is
when David reappears years later he
hasn’t aged even though the world around
him has and he becomes the subject of
intense scientific scrutiny language is
that
how’s what’s in his boys here what are
you talking about spent years trying to
decipher who’s putting that stuff on the
screen you word that’s
civil number for whitley strieber
communion trick or treat
go away wait wait wait – based on
real-life events the film centers on
Whitley streamer’s encounter with
extraterrestrial beings he refers to as
visitors well space cadet says so what
the heck it’s drawing Christopher Walken
as strieber the story follows him as he
works to reconcile his memories of those
interactions and navigate the growing
tension in his family this is no good I
can’t do this quickly tell me what you
see it’s almost as if this figure is
it’s covered in something it’s sticking
something into my mind in the meantime
the visitors act like creepy uninvited
houseguests lurking behind doors and
peeking around corners streamers
encounters with the visitors leave him
reeling confused and obsessed the
obsession appears to be mutual as the
visitors persist in terrorizing his
family
that’s not it number three Karen Swenson
the x-files
the opening scene of the very first
episode of this classic series is an
alien abduction a young woman is
scampering through the woods in her PJ’s
while something dangerous but unknown is
in hot pursuit she falls and is then
abducted by something shadowy and her
dead body is discovered the next day put
the time of death between 812 hours ago
no visible calls and a sign of battery
or sexual assault oh yeah ever this the
mystery surrounding Karen Swensons death
as well as a few others leads to FBI
involvement and the introduction of the
series leads Fox Mulder and Dana Scully
they found Karen Swensons body in the
forest in her pajamas ten miles from her
house how did she get there and with
Mulder trying to uncover the mystery
involving his sister’s alleged childhood
abduction by aliens my sister was a she
just disappeared out of her bed one

kidnapping becomes an establishing
thematic element for the show and one
you’re unlikely to forget

Oh Shi
