Spaced Invaders (1990)

In a comical interstellar twist, a saucer from a Martian invasion fleet, beleaguered by engine trouble, finds itself touching down on the peculiar planet known as Earth. The timing of their arrival couldn't be more ironic - it's Halloween, a night when the bizarre becomes the norm. The Martians themselves, standing merely 4 feet tall, are mistaken for trick-or-treaters by the locals, becoming unintentional participants in the quaint earthly tradition. Their journey takes them through the rural landscapes where they cross paths with two Earth children, one being the offspring of the town's sheriff. The extraterrestrials' initial intentions of conquest soon begin to crumble under the weight of their mounting troubles. Overcoming earthly obstacles proves considerably more challenging when you're the size of a human child and perceived as such. Meanwhile, the Martians' misinterpretation of a radio broadcast of Orson Welle's _War of the Worlds_ fuels their belief that their fellow Martians are launching an attack on Earth. Comedy unfolds as they scramble to make sense of their situation, desperately trying to assert their true identities and regain their alien dignity. However, amidst the hilarity and confusion, there lurks a sinister presence - a threatening killer robot. Will the bumbling Martians abandon their dwindling plans of conquest or will they confront the ominous mechanical menace? "Spaced Invaders" is a delightful mesh of comedy and science fiction, offering a charmingly absurd perspective on the extraterrestrial invasion trope.

Spaced Invaders is a comedy movie featuring Douglas Barr and directed by Patrick Read Johnson.
