    When H. R. Giger stared into the abyss, the abyss stared back. Then, Giger started rubbing himself through his pants until the abyss became uncomfortable and looked away.

    Correction: Dan didn't contact Giger because of the book "Necromicon" but rather through the contacts of Alejandro Jodorowsky, the director of El Topo. Both Dan and Giger were working on a cancelled Dune adaptation that had Jodorowsky conducting, and through that production the two became closer friends.

    The xenomorph itself may work in full light but similar to the shark from Jaws, Ridley Scott felt that they could never shake off the "man in a rubber suit" issue that hurt many horror films prior due to the limits of technology at the time. That's why they always had the Alien cast in shadow and barely gave the audience a clear full view shot of it. Working around this limitation payed off handsomely as it made for an engaging experience that allowed for the audience's own curiosity and fears to fill in the blanks.

The queen wasn't bad, but it was like you said making the über scary creature more associated with ants/bugs.

    Both movies were perfect for what they were. Alien was an artsy, purely horror sci-fi film. And Aliens was a sci fi action film with horror elements. But both movies were clearly very invested in the story and the material they were working with. Scott fully embraced Giger's work the moment he laid eyes on it. And James Cameron went quite out of his way to make sure the sequel could get the proper funding to happen. Not just for money, but because he legitimately wanted a good sequel that expands upon and fully utilizes the assets of the first movie, along with his own take on it. Cameron was behind Terminator as well, he's no stranger to sci fi horror. But he also did what he does best, an action movie.

    It really is true, the xenomorph is scary, but it's more than that, it's also beautiful. Monster designs usually go for the scare factor and that's it, but with the xenomorph it becomes scary because you have to admit that it is beautiful as well.

    Oh man, I wish you'd gone into the specific fears that the xenomorph dips into. I recently watched Children of the Corn and then looked up the background influences of the Alien movie.. CotC was awful by comparison. Useless, helpless "heroine," patronizing protagonist who saves the day while the women and children watch on, etc. etc. This came out in 1984. And then there's Alien. Badass, no-nonsense woman protagonist, an alien creature that prays on and inverts our primal fears of being "penetrated" and impregnated parasitically, the cold void of space... in 1979. Then I understood why this movie was so loved and vastly influential. It used and flipped so many tropes, tapped into such deep fears, and did it all so well.. Thanks for doing this video, this movie and creature design deserve it!

    I had been taken to see Alien when it was released when I was a kid, scared the hell out of me. At the time and after that I didn't buy any books on the making of the movie so it's great to discover vids like yours that allow me to learn decades later. So to find out there was an actual human skull inside the alien head was somewhat shocking. Very well presented vid, well done.

    Seriously dude, your videos are some of the best on KZread, and I am so glad to have discovered you so early on. This was awesome. The first time I saw Alien all the way through, was only about 7 years ago. They played it at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles during one of their movie nights. So yeah... I watched Alien in a cemetery with about 1,000 other people, and it was deathly silent until something moved and made you jump, then everyone screamed. It was phenomenal, and so was this video. Keep it up. Really looking forward to whatever you've got coming down the line.

But there was a lengthy segment on how geniusly designed the creature was for it's time and ours. The ways it moves, acts, and how it looks somewhat human and hemaphroditic. A good piece

    Design of the Alien is great. Its not some disease monster that people love to make (cause its so easy). Like i hated how the early Warhammer artists would make orcs appear horrifying by just painting their skin full of pus oozing pimples. Sure it makes them look horrifying. But its the same kind of horrifying as when you see a diseased rat. Its just lazy. When designing monsters or aliens, i would like designers to look at real animals and try to figure out what makes them look intimidating or scary. And not just try to figure how to use porridge and a bit of food coloring to make a monsters... Okay, im just sick of cancer monsters being the default type of monster that designers go to :(
