Fan CastingThe Deadly Spawn (1983) Remake

Two campers are nearby when a meteor falls to Earth. When they investigate, they are attacked and eaten by a lifeform that emerges from the crashed rock. A house near the crash site is the home of Sam and Barb, who are set to venture out of town, and their two children, college student and budding scientist Pete and his younger brother Charles, a monster movie fan. When a rainstorm sets in, Sam goes downstairs to check the basement for flooding and is eaten by the bizarre monstrosity. Barb suffers the same fate when she goes looking for him. Visiting are Aunt Millie and Uncle Herb, who think Sam and Barb have left for their trip. Pete sets up a study date with classmates Ellen, Frankie, and Kathy. Uncle Herb, a psychologist, and also preparing for a conference, wants to investigate Charles' interest in the macabre, and he holds a brief interview with the boy before he falls asleep in the living room. Aunt Millie heads over to her mother Bunny's house for a luncheon with her retired friends. When an electrician arrives to investigate a circuit breaker malfunction in the basement, Charles dons a costume and goes down to scare him. There, he discovers the basement is infested with slug-like creatures feasting on the electrician's and his mother's remains, guarded by their huge mother, the monster from the meteor crash. After realizing that the eyeless creatures react to sound, he stands silently, escaping his parents' fate.
