I remember seeing the movie ALIEN for the first time in a theater with my wife. It was one of the scariest movies that we’ve ever seen. I can remember my wife squeezing my hand at least 20 times during the movie and about jumping out of her seat and onto my lap. Memories, I think most of us can remember when we saw that movie for the first time.

ALIEN the 40th anniversary edition is arriving on Blu-Ray, DVD and 4K Ultra HD on April 23rd, 2019. Here’s information about the movie and the upcoming DVD release. If you enjoy horror movies with a lot of scary special effects…this movie is for you!
In space no one can hear you scream. The terrifying sci-fi adventure, ALIEN, celebrates 40 years with an all-new 4K Ultra HD™ master, available April 23. A limited edition 4K UHD™ steelbook of ALIEN 40th Anniversary Edition will also be available exclusively at Best Buy.
In the film that birthed the wildly successful ALIEN franchise, the crew of the deep space tug Nostromo awaken from stasis during a voyage home to Earth when their ship’s computer detects what is believed to be an alien distress signal coming from the desolate nearby moon, LV-426. While investigating, one of the crew, Kane (John Hurt), is attacked by an alien creature that latches to his face and he is rushed back to the Nostromo to receive medical treatment. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the ship’s warrant officer, advises against Kane’s return due to quarantine regulations – but her orders are ignored by Ash (Ian Holm), bringing the Nostromo under threat from a mysterious, extraterrestrial apex predator with violent and lethal survival instincts.

My kids would enjoy watching this movie, but not me.. It would give me nightmares!
Oh, I remember seeing this way back when and being terrified. It is a really scary movie. And Sigourney Weaver became the bada** queen of all time, lol.
Yes, I was scared out of my mind by this movie. So much that I swore off scary movies. Have no interest in seeing it again.
Okay, this is so strange because we just decided within the last week to watch Alien 1 and 2 again and then I read your post today. I had zero idea that it was the 40th anniversary boy do I feel old! I too remember seeing it for the first time in the theater and it scared me to death too. I would so love to add these movies to our home DVD library. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.
