Yep.

There’s a website devoted to that scene somewhere.

True :eek: it really is true ☹

Although I drew the line at looking at _that_ website but the reviews do confirm it.

I find it amazing that creepy-looking alien species, who evolved on a completely different planet with no contact with terrestrial life whatsoever, all want to have sex with blonde human females. I’d think humans would look and smell as repulsive to giant centipede aliens and said aliens would to us!

Yeah, but that’s one of the Cardinal Rules of Science Fiction.

Several of the stories from _The Martian Chronicles_ were filmed as self-contained episodes of _Ray Bradbury Theater_, including “Mars Is Heaven”. so the “movie” in question might be one of these episodes.

SciFi aired several of them during one of those daytime marathons they do, kind of an improvised mini-remake of the 1980 miniseries. Since Bradbury keeps mentioning that a new version keeps bouncing in and out of development hell. Frank Darabont’s name has been attached, not sure if he is now.
