“In space no one can hear you scream.” One of the best taglines ever for one of the scariest movies ever - Alien, No. 84 in my Top 100 Movies list.
This flick could have easily made it into my Top 15 Movies to Watch on Halloween. However, I limited the movies in that list to those which are typically thought of as Halloween fare - haunted houses, ghosts, the undead, the boogeyman, etc. That being said, I may have to make room in that list for Alien next year.
I know, a lot of people prefer Aliens. Not me. Aliens is an action movie first and horror film second. I love action flicks, but great horror movies are released so infrequently that it is really special when one works as well as Alien. Not to mention, Alien has one of the most famous (or infamous) scenes in horror movie history. Antacid anyone?
The original trailer for this flick is incredible. Be sure to check it out . . .
