Hey guys, wondering if you all could help me with the name of a movie I saw when I was maybe 10 years old or younger and was made in the early to mid 1980's. The movie involved a killer alien with a huge head that went around at night killing humans in a small town. I remember this alien throwing a circular object at people who ran away from it, like chinese stars, but it had teeth under it like it was some sort of alien animal. I remember one of the townspeople finding one that hit a wall and he had some trouble taking it off the wall. When he did, it had a row of circular teeth under it. Imagine a seashell the size of a CD. It didnt look like a CD though, it looked more like a sand dollar on top and the row of teeth in the bottom. The name of this movie has been bothering me forever and it was probably some low budget movie made in the early 80's but I remember my aunt taking me to the movies to see it. So any help would be appreciated!

moved to the memory lane

There was an alien movie that came out about this time, that involved an alien who would throw or somehow shoot out these small creatures with sharp teeth. They would fly through the air and attach themselves on to people. I think, in the end, some hillbilly defeats the alien. I'm not sure about the ending. I was a kid when I saw this, but the flying suckerlike alien things were pretty cool. I remember the commercials they showed on TV and how badly I wanted to see this, but had to wait for the edited version to be shown on TV eventually. I'm sure it was a low-budget flick. I thought maybe someone who has seen this movie may have also seen the one I'm talking about. I have been trying to figure out the name of this movie for years.

Thanks but it isnt Pantasm, I remember that, and its definetly not Killer Klowns for Outer Space. That other post seems like its the same movie Im looking for as well. Thank anyways!

The movie is called with Without Warning from 1980.
