I was far too old to be scared by this when I saw it, but my little brother wasn't. He was terrified of these guys. So naturally being the loving big brother that I was I would stick a feather duster around the corner to his room and say "hey! anyone got a spare head in here?" in my best fireys voice. He'd probably still scream if I did it today.

As an older sister, I was terrified by this movie I don’t remember how old I was but I think I was about 6.
"You ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside of their head?" Me:
That offset jawline and stare into the camera as he moves away at 1:56 is fucking awesome. These puppeteers really knew how to give the puppets personalities.

The part where the leader throws his eyeballs in the air and swallows them was a particularly difficult scene to film. The lead puppeteer Kevin Clash told Jim Henson it wouldn't work. Jim told him to keep doing that shot. According to Kevin, they finally did it at the 29th take.

I was 7 when this came out and I remember when I first seen this scene, it really freaked me out. But it was so cool at the same time.
I remember when we first got HBO in ‘87, I’ve watched this a thousand times. The older I got the scarier these dudes became. They have nothing to lose.
I love everything about this. The fireys have such amazing perfect design. I love them so much. This song is such a jam. This entire scene is perfect
I remember going to a screening of the movie in 2016. I enjoyed listening to the audiences reactions around me as if this was a new movie and they had never seen it before (some may have not or most likely don't remember every detail from it). I remember people around me going"Ewwww" when the leader pulled out his eyeballs.

Fun fact: The lead singer is Kevin Clash, best known as the puppeteer and voice of Elmo. He was offered to work on The Dark Crystal, but that would mean sacrificing two shows he was working on, Captain Kangaroo and The Great Space Coaster. He chose to stick to those 2 shows. After Captain Kangaroo and Great Space Coaster were cancelled, he was asked to come to London to do this movie.

Visually, the scene is definitely the most noticeably dated, but the song itself is a good earworm.
Definitely my favorite part of the entire movie when I was a child. I knew the lyrics by heart and would always sing along. 😅 Snake eyes!
I feel like if some producers gave the Jim Henson company the same amount of money most blockbuster superhero movies get now, they'd be able to make those felt fucks sentient. Not saying that'd be a bad thing. It'd just be fun to watch.

This was the song that led me to this movie - it was in 2003 or so, and the lyrics to this song were on a Red Dwarf site (at least one of the actors for that show voiced a "Firey" in this movie.) so I checked out the song and loved it, and then checked out the movie and loved it. This has been my favorite moment of this excellent movie ever since.
