    Them! is a 1954 American black-and-white science fiction monster film from Warner Bros. Pictures produced by David Weisbart, directed by Gordon Douglas, and starring James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, Joan Weldon, and James Arness. The film is based on an original story treatment by George Worthing Yates, which was then developed into a screenplay by Ted Sherdeman and Russell Hughes.

    Them! is one of the first of the 1950s "nuclear monster" movies, and the first "big bug" feature. A nest of gigantic irradiated ants is discovered in the New Mexico desert; they quickly become a national threat when it is discovered a young queen ant and her consorts have escaped to establish a new nest. The national search that follows finally culminates in a battle with Them in the concrete spillways and sewers of Los Angeles.

    Plot

    New Mexico State Police Sergeant Ben Peterson (James Whitmore) and Trooper Ed Blackburn (Chris Drake) discover a little girl in shock, wandering the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico. They retrace her steps to a mobile home owned by an FBI Special Agent named Ellinson, who was on vacation in the area with his family. The side of the trailer was ripped open from the outside, the rest of the family is missing and no money was taken. A single unidentifiable animal track seems to be the only clue. Then a strange, pulsating high-pitched noise echos out of the desert on the wind. The little girl briefly reacts in fear when she hears the sound, but this is not noticed by those around her.

    Them (King Diamond album)

    "Them" is the third studio album by King Diamond released in 1988 on Roadrunner Records.

    It is the first of two fictional concept albums about King and his mentally ill grandmother, the second of these being Conspiracy. King falls into a harrowing descent into madness via his grandmother and the voices in the House of Amon, known to the listener only as "Them". This album has sold over 200,000 copies in North America alone.

    Plot summary

    As the album opens, a young King and his mother and sister are welcoming King's grandmother home from a mental asylum. That night, King investigates strange voices and discovers his grandmother having a tea party seemingly alone, though with the teacups and kettles floating in the air. King is invited into the room, to sit in his grandmother's chair. King is sent back to bed, but only after staring into his grandmother's eyes, whereupon she instructed him to forget what he saw.

    On another occasion, Grandma awakens King and tells him that she will teach him about Amon, their house, over a cup of tea. Grandma cuts King's sleeping mother's hand and adds her blood to the teapot. The voices of the house ("Them") begin to affect King with a drug-like effect. King's sister Missy tries to convince King that they should do something to help their mother, who is unconscious under "their" power, but his judgment is clouded due to his altered state. He refuses to call for help and cuts the phone line. At tea, Missy interrupts and furiously expresses concern about her mother's state and breaks the teapot. "They", in response to the breaking of "their" teapot, chop Missy into bits with an axe and throw the remains into the fireplace in the kitchen. King is snapped out of his "spell," and he stumbles outside and pieces together the events that transpired.

    i've been here, sat between railings with god named
    celeste for, look adam to establish yourself won't
    really burn off that fat or we'll call it fat, that
    runs you near, archetypes that have been tested and
    failed continully tested and failed, god named celeste
    has always akin to catch stones at dead clock,
    fortunetly she's beautiful in the corners of her eyes
    and happy visible,"Good bye" she blinks while ruffage
    falls from my skirt, my skirt ruffage falls from my
    skirt,
    dripping with face lost i've the frozen meats and
    convention center specs to build a mirrored phallus
    right here, 10 miles high, for everyone to imitate, but
    the drawings in the dust are filling up with dust
    again, and i've just spent that 100 dollars friends,
    help though, hook line and sinker, if i could cry and
    hug my cat all night i'll still be empty, or putting
    change in the meter for and entire block of people i
    know from bumps on a log, kite flying and chicken
    choking and running in place, i'm stuffing mixed
    messages in bottles and dropping them in gutters and
    when someone gets it they'll be right where i was, and
    maybe that'll help, so one day when the snake sucks
    it's tail, i'll find a pot of gold and tons of letters
    left for me in a matchbox and that would be idle like
    grown men in tights, with fists, capes and eyebeams, I-
    beams, i've been here, sat between poles with god name
    sid for, look adam to reanimate yourself won't really
    lop off that foot or we'll call it foot that carries
    you off mezzanines that burst into situated right as
    you left situated, tsk tsk god named sid has waited a
    long long time to say "i told you so" so
    consequentially he's eaten by a bear and happy
    unfortunate goodbye he thinks as a tangelo falls from
    my hat, shush i say to the drones of potato people
    whistling my social security number, some mail man to
    be named later must not be doing his job, i'm thinking
    of when that nuclear thing happens and i'm the only one
    left a ruin that doesn't look like the movies, it was
    made before, between 7 breakfast, 12 lunch 6:30 dinner,
    if i don't stack all these bones now and these feathers
    right after that i'll pretend i'm sleeping and let them
    talk to my listening, listening, tounges and forks and
    noseplugs and problems are gears and i'm lamenting over
    those two edges coming together in the blood blister i
    got out of it all,
    if i could be any animal which would i be? the human
    soul because there's almost no halflife,
    it's negligable and covered in pus with marrige on top,
    from globs to shoulder width to back to the hospital it
    don't stop
    it's negligable and covered in pus with marrige on top,
    from globs to shoulder width to back to the hospital it
    don't stop
    until the socially acceptable thing to do is be real...
