I have a vague memory of an old science fiction movie in which alien space-
ships come to earth and burrow into the ground. When they catch people, they
alter them to do their (the aliens') will, leaving them with a mark
just behind the ear (this was how you could tell who had been taken over).
I saw this in my impressionable childhood, and it lives on only as a memory 
of early terror. I don't remember much else about it, except that part
of the plot revolved around a little kid finding the entrance to the ship 
while he was out playing (whether this was crucial to the plot or just 
important to me because I was a little kid at the time, I do not know). Anyhow,
the most recent TP reminded me of this long-buried memory - anybody else 
remember this?
