Alien

In space, no one can hear you scream.

This movie. THIS. MOVIE. It's one of those unicorns--it could have been so bad, so cheesy, so forgettable. And yet, through that incredible collision of luck and execution, we got a masterpiece. HR Giger's creature design is still the scariest monster ever created, almost 50 years later. Dan O'Bannon's script is still so tight, so perfectly constructed, we still make this movie to this day. And Ridley Scott's direction is still flawless. It's STILL terrifying, all these years later, which is kind of wild. We discuss it all, this week on Spooky Season!
