I was 9 when Alien came out. The week Alien was released or the week after, I went to the cinemas with my mum probably to see a sci fi film, and when we got to the cinema I could see life size standees of the Nostromo crew and a 7-8 ft standee of the Alien
I stood right next to that thing, thought it was awesome and asked my mum if I could see the film, and of course she said No! The first time I actually saw Alien was in 1982 when ITV had the first showing of the film on tv in the UK. Being the only one awake in a caravan in Wales with very strong winds blowing and the shadows of big trees coming through the window, plus that bloody film = :O
