Don’t have it in the budget to buy NECA’s life-size Aliens Xenomorph Egg? Good news!

Xenomorph Life Cycle But Its “Up”

Xenomorph Life Cycle But Its “Up”

Sellatorful created a gory hand-drawn sequence that depicts how Alien’s Xenomorphs are born and grow. But the original was missing an appropriate soundtrack. So Bag Ingi added Michael Giacchino’s tune Married Life, the music from Pixar’s Up that underscores Carl and Ellie’s sweet but heartbreaking life story.

Will Aliens Visit Earth Soon?

Will Aliens Visit Earth Soon?

Given the vastness of the universe, it’s almost impossible to fathom that there aren’t other life forms out there. In this video from Kurzgesagt, they explore the hypothetical idea that aliens are just a few steps behind us, and will soon catch up with technology that allows them to explore space and visit other planets.

The Muppets in Sclrap Flyapp

The Muppets in Sclrap Flyapp

A year before Sesame Street debuted, Jim Henson’s Muppets turned up on The Ed Sullivan Show. The fuzzy, smoke-blowing aliens repeated the phrase “Sclrap Flyapp!” while hunting an elusive snail creature whose only utterance was “Merp.” Yes, it’s as silly as it sounds.

The Guys Who Decide Everything That Happens

The Guys Who Decide Everything That Happens

A lot of stuff happens here on Earth. Some good, some bad, and some downright weird. Some of us humans believe there’s a all-seeing higher power guiding our destiny. Joel Haver and Trent Lenkarski think it’s something a little less impressive pulling the strings.

Aliens Modern Trailer

Aliens Modern Trailer

(PG-13) James Cameron’s Aliens was one of the best movies of the 1980s, and it still holds up to repeat viewings. What didn’t age as well is its original 1986 trailer, so Michael Edwards got to work editing together a new trailer with a more modern aesthetic and that builds the tension much better than the original.

Could Aliens Have Lived on Earth?

Could Aliens Have Lived on Earth?

We still don’t know if there are other species out there in space, but it certainly seems possible that we’re not the only life forms in the universe. Kurzgesagt goes one step further to explore the possibility that aliens life once roamed the Earth long before the dinosaurs.

Rémi Gaillard: UFO

Serial prankster Rémi Gaillard takes us behind the scenes of his recent stunt in which he crashed a fake spaceship in the middle of a road, then emerged dressed as a space alien looking for help from passers-by. He also flew a strangely-lit drone into the sky which fooled some media into reporting about a UFO sighting.

It’s taken three years, but the guys at Hacksmith Industries have finally completed their working replica of the Power Loader from Aliens. In this final build video, they tidy up the cabling and put on finishing touches before taking it for an all-too-brief spin. We can’t wait to see them take down a xenomorph with this thing.

It also makes movie sound effects and has a digital ammo counter.

When an Alien Speaks but Doesn’t Have Subtitles

When an Alien Speaks but Doesn’t Have Subtitles

Have you ever watched a movie and an alien starts talking in their native tongue, but no subtitles come on screen? Are they saying something critical to the story? Is Closed Captioning turned off? Joel Haver and Brandon Dester sum up the feeling of confusion that comes with scenes like that in this animated comedy sketch.

Nope, that’s not a typo. This silly desktop organizer from Fred looks like a tiny U.F.O., complete with a tractor beam. A magnet in the bottom of the saucer makes it look like the aliens are abducting the appropriately cow-shaped paper clips. We bet the fluorescent acrylic would look sweet under black light.

What Do Aliens Look Like?

What Do Aliens Look Like?

We prefer the title “What MIGHT Aliens Look Like?” for Kurgezagt’s video, in which they explore the possibilities of alien life forms, and attempt to explain how they might appear, using something called The Kardashev Scale, which estimates a civilization’s potential for technology based on the availability of energy.

Aliens and Predators are natural enemies. So it’s no wonder someone spotted one of the armor-plated warriors riding his conquest for all to see the spoils of his victory. The man inside the costume is Samai Khammongkul, who likes to spread good cheer around Thailand.

Not the be confused with the James Cameron movie of the same name, Revolution Studio writer/director Timur Abdulov’s CGI short is packed with explosive action and effects as a group of creatures terrorizes Earth. But not to fear, it’s just a cleverly-disguised commercial for a contactless payment company.
