[Ad-Free] STORY: How Alien's CHESTBURSTER Was Made (Patreon)

In this video, I take you through the fascinating process of creating the Chestburster in Alien, one of the most memorable moments in film history. We’ll take a look at how Ridley Scott drew inspiration from Francis Bacon’s artwork, how HR Giger’s initial designs led to a ridiculous puppet, and the challenges that creature-maker Roger Dicken faced in bringing such a small monster to life. We’ll also dive into the Chestburster scene itself and how strange, difficult, and exciting it was to shoot.
