When I was in Jr. High a bunch of friends and I re-enacted the chest-bursting alien dinner scene as a class project. I made the alien out of foam, painted blood all over it, and attached it to a string so it could be yanked out of the kid's shirt. I really don't know why they even let us do it, but it was fun!Kev Brockschmidthttp://www.kevscartoons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640960764609693925.post-23308254238447303592012-04-24T08:44:05.832-07:002012-04-24T08:44:05.832-07:00"Alien" scared the ever-lovin' cat p..."Alien" scared the ever-lovin' cat pee out of me. I saw it at the base theatre at Goodfellow Air Force Base the week it came out. I told people, "I flinched so hard, I think I ended up three rows back from where I started." My heart was in my throat. My pulse was pounding. And I couldn't wait to see what happened next.<br /><br />In general, the film has aged well and is one of my top-drawer picks to watch again and again. The Christmas-tree light dodecahedron that is the "brains" of the ship is a tacky joke by today's computing standards, but the rest of it is pure cinematic gold.K.D.

No, my name is not on the credits, I was asked to help after that page was all set.... I did most of the really gory stuff...<br />I was at the preview showing of the movie, my seat was in the back row next to an exit. 3 people ran out that door when the alien popped out of John Hurt's chest.P.M.Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850350168127996036noreply@blogger.com
