So, did you see, or plan to see Prometheus, and this struck up a resurgence of interest in Alien, Aliens, Xenomorphs, and things such as Giger's Necronomicon? Because that's what happened to me.



Did you know the Xenomporphs don't actually have acid for blood? Rather it is contained, pressurized, between two layers of external armor, such that anything that pierces the outermost layer is blasted by pressurized acid, whereas the actual internal anatomy has not been compromised?

Have you gone back and watched Alien and Aliens? Two very different films. Alien is a sci-fi which is fundamentally a horror film.
