No book is off-limits since horror is subjective. The 1978 movie shows the newly-created pod people cleaning up piles of dust, and the original bodies breaking down as the duplication is completed, but it isn't really explained.Here is your place to share your love or loathing for horror lit, but remember to be respectful.Ībusive comments and posts will get you banned but having a dissenting opinion is acceptable. The 1956 movie has the original bodies (or the duplicates, if the process was interrupted) just disappear. “Though perhaps I’m wrong about that I think maybe you have It can happen, does happen, and you know that it has happened Īnd yet you will not accept it.” He watched me for a moment, then That formerly composed you are-static now, nothing, a pile of greyįluff. And what happens to the original? The atoms Of electrical forcelines that knit together every atom of your body toįorm and constitute every last cell of it-can be slowly transferred.Īnd then, since every kind of atom in the universe is identical-theīuilding blocks of the universe-you are precisely duplicated, atom forĪtom, molecule for molecule, cell for cell, down to the tiniest scar When the pattern can be taken from you, absorbed like staticĬan happen, Doctor Bennell, and rather easily the intricate pattern Sleep, incidentally, when that change occurs least and during sleep Time in which your body infinitesimally changes.

Because it isĬomposed of the tiny electrical force-lines that hold together the “Yes, Doctor Bennell, your body contains a pattern, all living matterĭoes-it is the very foundation of cellular life. In the book by Jack Finney, the original bodies would decompose into their composite atoms as the pod duplicated the atomic bonds.
