A look at Steven Spielberg's unmade sci-fi horror film "Night Skies." Written by John Sayles, Night Skies was designed as a follow up to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but was never made. Instead, its unused script inspired E.T. and Poltergeist, changing the direction of Spielberg's career. Here, we go through the entire story of Night Skies, the behind the scenes changes that caused it to never happen, Rick Baker's unused special effects, and how it influenced future films. PLUS, a look at the never-made insane script for E.T. 2: Nocturnal Fears, a terrible idea that was thankfully abandoned.
