5.0 out of 5 stars Purple People Eater Fans, September 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Purple People Eater [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Purple People Eater is one of the best movies of the century. I loved it as a child and our video got ruined I have never been able to find it until now and I am sad that it is out of stock. I would reccomend this movie to any parent for their children. It is a classic in my book and wish it was more popular.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Ultimate family musical, June 28, 2002

Risa Stewart (kids are people to) (Covington, Georgia (usa)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Purple People Eater [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this movie when I was younger and now it's the kind of movie that you can view over and over and never get tired of it.
I have the song purple people eater on CD, my son and the kids in my day care love the song they sing it on our Karaoke all the time.
so I've been looking for the movie and will not stop till I find it. This is one family movie they will never forget.
