What was the story behind the red growth (vine looking stuff) that was filled with the blood of the people picked up? Never got the reason of it. I do know the movie is based on a book by H.G. Wells. I have never read that. I DID read and do a report on a short story, in High School, about the Orson Wells radio Broadcast in the late 1930s. That was a very interesting read! I liked it because hardly 4-5 years before, my own Grandfather told me the story about it. He said he was fortunate to hear that it was for Entertainment. MANY people tuned in late and FREAKED. There were even a couple of suicides!
LOL By the way, my Wife did not care for the movie (Not the biggest fan of such flicks) I have seen it 2-3 times. I think it's ok but I still like the 1953 version better. AWESOME movie for its day!
