   • They Live was inspired by a comic book adaptation of a short story. They Live is an adaptation of Ray Nelson’s science fiction short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning,” which was originally published in the 1960s.
   • They Live was a response to Ronald Reagan's America. Carpenter has described They Live as a “primal scream against Reaganomics,” a story that uses a science fiction concept to pour on social commentary about the way he saw what was happening to the American middle class in the 1980s.
   • John Carpenter wrote They Live under an alias. Carpenter has always been a multi-hyphenate kind of filmmaker, directing, writing, producing and scoring his movies.
   • Roddy Piper had never heard of John Carpenter. For the role of “John Nada,” They Live's central character, Carpenter was on the hunt for an everyman who could embody the blue collar working class.
