Especially with other things that shouldn't have operated on their own.
Truck tank gas valve.
Lawn sprinklers which means spigots at houses turned themselves on.
60 Caliber gun on small vehicle.
Truck mirror (Could they be adjusted without hands-on back then?)
i dont know what you mean by truck tank gas valve, do you mean the scene where the guy gets sprayed with diesel?..i guess its possible the gas pumps were controlled by the aliens
to answer your question on the goblin truck Turing its mirrors. Yes in 1986, it wasn't unheard of to have electric mirrors in cars/trucks. You clearly see the truck start its battery switch and go into electrical mode, so it can move the mirror
When tanker truck drops its fuel load into underground storage tanks, no one opened the manual valve on the tanker to permit this to happen. Valve is seen opening itself.
shareThey really should have sat down and decided what could and couldn't be possessed; the scene with the gun mounted to the Mechanical Mule firing away always bugged me. The vehicle itself I can understand, but the gun should be independent from the possessed vehicle.
shareThe bike didn't have to be electrical to become "possessed". Remember at the baseball game, the kid's bike flipped him off of it before he got ran over by the steamroller.
