It was written by John Briley. Wyndham wrote THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS, the novel VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED was based on. Since this movie is a loose sequel to that one, he gets a "based on" credit, but he had nothing at all to do with the writing of it, and all credit or blame must go to Briley. <br /><br />Having read pretty much every novel Wyndham ever wrote, I can say that MICWICH CUCKOOS is the only one he ends with an explosion, so no, he did not have "pechant for explosive endings." Again, it was Briley's ending this time.<br /><br />Ian Hendry certainly had one other MAJOR horror movie credit you passed over. He was the hero of the magnificent Vincent Price masterpiece THEATER OF BLOOD.<br /><br />I saw CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED on my first-ever date with a girl, when I was 14. Dad drove us to the theater and picked us up again after. Very good movie. The girl, not so much, though we are still friends.Douglas McEwannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5825429179234380868.post-75905972722638020192008-12-12T18:57:00.000-08:002008-12-12T18:57:00.000-08:00This is a great flick -- but the original intent o...This is a great flick -- but the original intent of the malicious brats are never fully explained.
