Vyzygoth the Great Interviews Ray Nelson, Author of the Short Story That Inspired the Film They LiveFrom the Vyzygoth Archive. They Live!" starring Randy Roddy Piper. I had heard that it was based upon a short story called Eight O'Clock in the Morning, so I decided to look it up. It's by Ray Nelson, who co-wrote a book (The Ganymede Takeover) with his boyhood friend, Philip K. Dick, the science fiction genius. One of his quotes (Ray's) is that the only two times in which Philip K. Dick took LSD was when he gave it to him. He also wrote Blake's Progress AKA Timequest, based on the medieval character of William Blake Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/william-ramsey-investigates--1898073/support .
