For nearly 50 years, the “Alien” franchise has terrified, thrilled, and fascinated audiences. It all began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s “Alien,” a claustrophobic horror masterpiece that introduced Ellen Ripley and the most terrifying extraterrestrial creature ever put on screen.
Since then, the Xenomorph has stalked its way through eight more movies, including direct sequels, prequels, and a pair of infamous vs. Predator crossovers. It's so well-loved that we even have the new TV series “Alien: Earth.”
