The John Carpenter movie They Live was based on the short story
Eight O'Clock in the Morning by Ray Nelson. As far as I can tell it
was first published in 1963 in Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine.
"He left the theatre, pushing out into the neon night, carefully avoiding any
indication that he saw the green, reptilian flesh or the multiple yellow eyes of
the rulers of the earth."
The story is quite short and can be found here (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/9412/8oclock.html) (unless someone knows
of a longer version).
