My nephew watch this with his father when he was about four. He didn't understand it, but was enthralled by its weirdness. Weeks later he heard the testing of a local tornado siren and ran excitedly through the house, shouting, "Daddy! The Morlocks!"
Oh God, I hate siren alerts, since I live in a tornado area, and I watched this as a kid. Whether it's a tornado siren or worse, they always scare the hell out of me.
One of the most epic scenes in movie history, in my opinion. It really creeped me out as a little kid, and it still does. Symbolizes the modern world in a nutshell.
It’s scary how scenes like this stuck in our minds so strongly....those of us who watched it as kids. This is what today’s youth needed to understand what is going on now.

Yvette Mimieux (Weena) was actually underage when filming began (she turned 18 during the filming) and she was not legally supposed to work a full filming schedule, but she did. She was inexperienced, but as she worked on this film she kept getting better and better, so that by the end of the shoot the producers went back and re-film some of her earliest scenes.
Something that was once used to signal people to go to safety, is now (in the future), being used to lure people into being devoured. It just goes to show you that anything (or almost anything) can be used for good or evil (it's all in how you use it).
The weird thing is that the Morlocks are not as such evil; like the Eloi, they are creatures of blind instinct. Of course, that instinct has gotten horribly messed up.
@@okamijubei It's funny that I should happen to read this because, I was just watching the "Walking Dead" series and at one point, someone said that: "Everything is food for something else."
This came out when I and my friends were 11 and 12, and it was the best movie we'd ever seen! It stands up even today, equally entertaining and thought-provoking.
1960. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear war ending the world in 1960 so the air raid siren to "get down below into the bomb shelter" made perfect sense for those who could be brainwashed. The Eloi were brainwashed, but George Wells, no so much.
I first saw this as a kid on TV on NBC, Saturday Night at the Movies in the '60's. The murlocks scared the hell out of me. Still one of my favorite movies.

Well Cameron did like to “borrow” after all. Recall that he stole Harlan Ellison’s work for “The Outer Limits” (1964) to storyboard “Terminator” 20 years later.
@@saberiandream316 Well yes, Ellison had a reputation for being an acerbic POS. But he was kind to me when I approached him in 1977. By the way, the courts did rule in Ellison’s favor and his name appears in the film’s final credits. One can certainly pay homage to another’s work, but I think the courtesy of approaching the creator is the least one can be expected to do. Author Ray Bradbury was absolutely incensed when that idiot Michael Moore named a film “Fahrenheit 9/11” and he informed him he might consider legal action. And having also met Bradbury, I can tell you that a more benign person you are not likely to come across. Moore apologized for it, realizing his egregious oversight. Now was Bradbury wrong there as well?

@@smallhelmonabigship3524 This reminds me of the way we're all expected to behave during the covid pandemic. Wear our masks and avoid going out as much as possible like good children, even though it won't do any good.
I remember watching this when I was very young. My dad grew up with the movie and decided it would be a good thing to show a four year old, which it was a good watch, but this scene always stuck with me.
Fun fact; since air raid sirens have been removed in the UK, the government has the ability to commandeer all mobile phone networks and in the event of an incoming nuclear attack send an alert to all mobile phones. If you hear every mobile phone ring at once you have 15 minutes to live.
Omg i watched this as a small kid when my sister was babysitting.... It's still etched in my memory along with Sherlock Holmes and the pyramid of fear where those girls were burnt alive with hot wax!
So the Morlocks use an ancient siren originally meant to indicate that Nuclear missiles and bombs were about to be dropped to lure a bunch of Eloi into their caverns to be eaten, eh? Clever but twisted.......
Omg the shot where the camera looks up from the well at the time traveler as he's climbing down is exactly like how I pictured it when I read the story
I remember this film well from when I was a child. It's so much better than the recent remake, even though they didn't have all the fancy special effects back then.
The air raid siren really affected me when I was young. It is eerie, strange and upturns reality in much the same way it must have when those in cities of WWII (or currently in Ukraine in 2022). When you hear this sound, it fills you with dread of the knowledge that your reality, your whole identity, is now changed and the person you were, the concerns you had, are now irrelevant. Time now to confront that ever-present fear of your death: civilisation and rational thought cannot delay it any longer.
Dang, son. Should have said that to war criminal Obama. So that he would stop his proxy wars that uses the Ukrainian people as canon fodder for his career and fake Nobel prize.
@@ianstuart5660 Especially since she grew up in an era where boys lusting after girls wasn't seen as shameful and somehow predatory, it was perfectly natural.

One of my two favorite movies - The Forbidden Planet with Leslie Nielsen and Walter Pigeon and this one The Time Machine with Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimieux
You wanna talk parallelism? How about the crumbling books? Look what Disney did to their Star Wars books in the old EU, they got people to forget them, and nobody fought back. People stood by and let it happen. There were three fan campaigns to try and revive our favorite stories, but it was smugly ignored. People aren't reading and Disney seems to have some weird war on ideas and literature. It's a sad world we live in.
I just re-read the book and recalled the movie. The movie is a lot different than the book, though the movie stays faithful to the theme. This book was way ahead of its time in science fiction. I believe it went further into the future than any science fiction book before.
In this scene alone, I remember the book stating that those wells are covered with brass at the rim. Also Weena and the rest of the Eloi are inferior minded and cannot speak English. Still both enjoyed the book and film.
And in an earlier scene when Weena is drowning, the other Eloi just sit and watch; kind of reminds me of people today, afraid to do anything, or perhaps too passive. Seeing so much violence and mayhem on TV and Video games, they've become so used to seeing horrible things, they can't even respond when they see something terrible happening right in front, whether it be on a subway, or just walking past someone lying on the ground. And people today are being hypnotized by their phones just as the Eloi were put into a trance by the siren.
i don't know why I like this version better too, for 1960 it has a very imaginative quality, I love the eerie parts too, like this one and how the sirens are the same from 1966
Reminds me of the K-mart Blue Light Special, if anyone is old enough to remember that? Old ladies who could barely walk, but when that blue light went off, it was every man for himself!
something interesting I noticed in this movie is that the people of this time are all white and blonde. I couldn't catch eye colour, but it was an interesting observation I noticed. I don't see anyone ever mention it.
near my work theres these sirens that sound every now and then for a reason I dont know , and they sound exactly like this . every time i hear them Im waiting for people to wander off like zombies
In this movie those sirens are supposed to be a rediment of the Cold War era drills and the nuclear holocaust finally happened . They originally were used to call peoples' attention to seek safety of the bomb shelters immidiately at the sound of them. The the degenerated species of the "Morlocks" living in the old shelters exploided them on the "Eloy" to call in as "dinner" whenever they were hungry! The Eloy seemed to have an automatic (generations old)inclination to seek shelter habit triggered by the sirens.
a favorite 1960s movie of mine, also my late mum was a little girl growing up in great Brittan during WW2 and would hear this scary siren indicating it was time to go to the underground mass transit station for cover.....
Like Robert Phillips stated, I too was creeped out buy this as a kid. I think in my mind I related those sirens to the tornado sirens I would hear as a kid growing up in Ohio. Also the carved face on that statue creeps me out a little bit even to this day
THIS IS REMINDS ME OF THE COVID-19 . Here, people just mindlessly do what "big brother" tells them (via the sirens) without thinking. In COVID-19, people just mindlessly obey big brother. "Stay at home", "wear your mask", "get a(nother) vaccination", etc. etc. In the movie, the authoritarians are the Morlocks. In reality, it's the World Economic Forum.
Or perhaps archaeologists from the society that predated the Eloi and morlocks (hence the ruins) rediscovered what they sounded like and then the morlocks recreated them using these discoveries from their ancestors
This story has too many similarities with what has been going on in relation to many things. One being the tunnels and the abduction of innocent people by barbarians in the Middle East. Another similarity is to that of the dumbing down of society.
alucard624 Actual in the novel it never said anything about the Sphinx looking eerie. It was merely a curious white Sphinx. as well as there was no sirens in the novel. The Morlocks hunted the Eloi at night time this is why the Eloi were scared of them. Weena Died when The Time Traveler and her get stuck in a forest. Novels a lot better, actually more creepy too.
+Ku Dastardly....unhappily Weena did die. In the novel the Traveler and Weena were out in the forest when night came. The Traveler had built a campfire which got out of control when the Morlocks attacked. The Traveler escaped but Weena and the Morlock party were trapped within the forest fire and died.
The protagonist travels to a VERY remote future, it is practically impossible to link political or historical events to such a year of 802701. We do not even know historical or political events from more than three thousand years ago. Precisely in the original film, such events do not appear when the time traveler arrives at that time, and that gives realism to the story, and it achieves this at the moment when the time traveler meets the Morlock sphinx. The remake, on the contrary, ridiculously links the virtual librarian scene between such disparate times.
Yvette Mimieux was absolutely adorable in this. Loved Weena.
Her character dies in the book (in a forest fire), but of course, she had to survive in the movie.

Watched this with my parents when I was little and this scared me!
Note how conditioned people got to going underground by 1966 when they heard sirens that the Morlocks used this against them.
That's what they're trying to turn us into the Eloi
This is just what we are becoming. Fresh food for Morlocks...
In the future only pure cacusaian blondes will exist.
Good observation!
00:12 => I'LL BE BACK! Lol.
"Time Machine" is a great movie, and Rod Taylor had so much charisma. :)
Mathieu T
I sure would've danced on his rod.
Payhole Everdouche What did you say? I'm French, so, I don't understand everything. :)
Like Robert Phillips stated, I too was creeped out buy this as a kid. I think in my mind I related those sirens to the tornado sirens I would hear as a kid growing up in Ohio. Also the carved face on that statue creeps me out a little bit even to this day
It creeped out the Time Traveler in the book as well; it was a white sphinx there.
The sphinx has the face of someone who hasn't slept in ages.
Minnesota native here, yes, tornado sirens frighten the hell out of me, always have, and still do.
Sirens freaked me out as a kid in the 70s.
NyuuMikuru1 yes my mother always told me as a kid if i heard those we in trouble.
We had those too over during Desert Shield & Storm. I still flinch WHEN I hear them to this day...
Those sirens will also be when the city gets burned and nuked!
And red sky, lava and fire
Who's the character in your profile pic?
THIS IS REMINDS ME OF THE COVID-19 . Here, people just mindlessly do what "big brother" tells them (via the sirens) without thinking.
In COVID-19, people just mindlessly obey big brother. "Stay at home", "wear your mask", "get a(nother) vaccination", etc. etc.
In the movie, the authoritarians are the Morlocks. In reality, it's the World Economic Forum.
Yup.
Anyone know what type of siren they used in this movie??
animal16365 Air Raid

Those air raid sirens kept working for 800,000 years - that was some quality British engineering. 😆
lol
would have been a different story if they were made in China
Or perhaps archaeologists from the society that predated the Eloi and morlocks (hence the ruins) rediscovered what they sounded like and then the morlocks recreated them using these discoveries from their ancestors
This story has too many similarities with what has been going on in relation to many things. One being the tunnels and the abduction of innocent people by barbarians in the Middle East. Another similarity is to that of the dumbing down of society.
Reminds me of They Live
They're just doing their part to keep everyone safe.
I love old movie “sub text” the end when he called them Cattle. Wow
That siren.....would want to make anyone run underground.
I agree with a lot of people here saw this when I was probably like 9 or 10 and the sirens were always so unsettling it’s so eerie
Fact: Yvette Mimieux also starred in " Devil Dog: Hound Of Hell" a movie from the 70s
Am I the only one who thinks the Sphinx looks a bit creepy? Don't know why but it just looks eerie looking.
It's meant to be creepy, so it succeeded on that level. It freaked me out too as a kid and still is creepy in many ways to me as an adult.
alucard624 you're not alone
alucard624 Actual in the novel it never said anything about the Sphinx looking eerie. It was merely a curious white Sphinx. as well as there was no sirens in the novel. The Morlocks hunted the Eloi at night time this is why the Eloi were scared of them. Weena Died when The Time Traveler and her get stuck in a forest.
Novels a lot better, actually more creepy too.
Weena died in the novel? Hmm, weird though. It was ages since I actually read the book but I don't recall any deaths regarding her.
+Ku Dastardly....unhappily Weena did die. In the novel the Traveler and Weena were out in the forest when night came. The Traveler had built a campfire which got out of control when the Morlocks attacked. The Traveler escaped but Weena and the Morlock party were trapped within the forest fire and died.
The protagonist travels to a VERY remote future, it is practically impossible to link political or historical events to such a year of 802701. We do not even know historical or political events from more than three thousand years ago. Precisely in the original film, such events do not appear when the time traveler arrives at that time, and that gives realism to the story, and it achieves this at the moment when the time traveler meets the Morlock sphinx. The remake, on the contrary, ridiculously links the virtual librarian scene between such disparate times.
The Morlocks...as scary now as in 1960.
Yeah NO kidding. I think I'm going to HAVE to 'borrow' those Morlock Baddies for my homebrew game project as well now...
@Much Wiser And Antifa.
@@stevem2323 And mask wearers, even when riding alone in their cars.
Civilization looked so handsome then? This movie was made in 1960. We are degenerating.
Went home, couldn't sleep, back there, in time.
Got to save Weena, she makes the best sammiches! 😄
Jesus Christ... I feel embarrassed reading that...
Old air raid sirens used to scare us.
Just like Biden and Zelensky.

Some Pied Piper vibes, seeking to avoid Karma some say.
This movie is a direct resemblance of what’s currently going on within society
The meek sheep being herded into place.
What movie is this?
lol "The Time Machine" smh
