In space, no one can hear you scream.
Well, there was certainly a lot of screaming when this space creature first hit the screen.
The Xenomorph from Ridley Scott’sAlienseries is without a doubt one of the most terrifying beasts from beyond the stars.
What is it about the titular alien that makes it so gruesome?
This was accomplished through the use of two rather…interestingproducts KY Jelly and condoms.
The former was used to give the alien its slimy appearance, especially when it came to drool.

Another explanation could be a sense of echolocation, but this has not been confirmed.
Giger designed, sculpted, and created the Xenomorph, winning him an Oscar for design in 1979.
His work would later be featured in all theAliensequels, as well as theAVPspinoffs.
Alien Versus…
The crew of the Nostromo isn’t the only group of unfortunate souls to take on the Xenomorph.
That’s quite a list of opponents to have on one’s resume.
From the Facehugger to bi-pedal humanoid model, there’s an alien for all occasions.
Likewise, the quadruped version spawns out of a dog, giving it the haunches and longer tail.
This definitely opens the imagination to Xenomorph crossbreeds.
The possibilities could be delightfully gruesome.
But we think this one is probably the most fearsome.
In the prequel filmPrometheus,it’s revealed that the Xenomorphs are essentially the ultimate form of biological warfare.
They are essentially the perfect killing machine.
The problem is keeping the monsters contained.
Then it’s time to call in the Predators to clean up the mess.
And in an instant,Alienbecame iconic.
