One of the best scenes in cinematic history. First saw it as a kid in the mid 80s on VHS. I got to see it a few years ago on the big screen. I’ve seen it countless times and it’s still an awesome scene.
My whole family watched that on tv when I was like 6 or something. Had traumatic nightmares for quite a while and avoided spaghetti for some time also.
I saw this in a theater in San Francisco with my then-wife, her gay brother, and a largely gay male audience. Trust me when I say that the reaction to this scene was….amazing.
I attended the opening with a group of friends. The guy next to me stood up in the middle of the chestburster scene, groaned loudly, and passed out cold on his feet. It scared the crap out of everyone in the theater. We dragged him out to the men’s room and got him to come to. Turned out he’d taken a quaalude before the show.
The guy on right….”my wife does that every night”…lol
Bloke top left looks like he is going to crack up laughing???
Dahmer on the far right is getting some ideas
I always laugh at the guy on the left. He’s a motherfucker to party with.
Chrissy Dahlmer on the right.
Veronica Cartwright had the almost the same reaction.
Dude top left, lol.
Didn’t know wendigoon was that old
My girlfriend threw up during that scene. I had to drive her home. Went the next day on my own to see the whole movie.

Guy on the right: *”That’s a penis reference isn’t it?”*

Yeah that scared the shit out of me
Men’s reactions vs the women

Will the two serial killers please stand up
Whenever this photo pops up I always look for someone to notice the guy in the top left left corner having the time of his life. My guy!

Top left and far right dropped acid together on the way in
I watched Alien as a small child. I was probably 4 or 5. My mom talks about spending most of the movie with her hand over my eyes.
Jack Black on the left is enjoying the movie

My guy top left having a great time
🎵”Hello my honey! Hello my darling!”🎵
Are ppl desensitized nowadays? I can’t imagine anything on screen giving ppl this type of reaction.
Edit: never mind. Just thought of something.
Dude on the top left… “Sweeeeet!”
Dude on the top left is like “cool”.
I still remember being like 10 and watching this scene, it’s so original
Dude on the right has nerves of steel.
