On this day, December 16, Purple People Eater premiered, bringing to life the whimsical 1958 novelty song by Sheb Wooley. Directed by Linda Shayne, the family-friendly sci-fi comedy stars Neil Patrick Harris, Ned Beatty, Shelley Winters, Peggy Lipton, Thora Birch, and Dustin Diamond in a fun tale about a friendly alien who comes to Earth.

The movie features a mix of quirky humor, heartwarming moments, and nostalgic charm, appealing to both children and fans of the classic song. While it didn’t make waves at the box office, Purple People Eater remains a memorable piece of late-80s family entertainment.

Do you remember this quirky film?
