Were the aliens in Aliens the scariest aliens?

These fuckers scared the shit out of me as a young kid and they still freak me out. Has any other movie made a scarier looking alien? Yes, I know Alien was before but in that movie it looked like a guy in a suit

They're weird, but those white crawly ones that stick to your face and wraps its tail around your neck as it busts in ur mouth really freaked me out. Would rather just get killed off by one of the regular aliens instead of encountering those face fukkers. Super gross ! :messenger_grimmacing_
 
When you add in how they reproduce they might be. The Thing remake alien is up there too.

Prometheus and Covenant didn't do them any favors though. I don't really like the idea of the Alien as a designed creature. Its more interesting to me as an organism that evolved so perfectly that it monopilized its entire planet, and now has to spread from place to place to survive.
 
Gross/claws/teeth type scary stuff comes off as cheesy nowadays.

The Annihilation alien was scary in an intense and interesting kind of way.

Yeah I hate the fuckers. Keep in mind - they have been bested in many engagements by people with minor to no military training . Phew!
 
Yeah it's probably a toss up between those Aliens and Alf with his weird old man penis nose.
Both released in '86 both were terrifying in their own way.

I put The Thing one spot behind Alien, but I wouldn't try and tell someone which is better, which is scarier, which has the better monster... those are the elements that puts them at nearly equal for me. I wish we had an endless stream of movies like Alien and The Thing instead of "boo!" ghost movies and slasher flicks, but it takes way more effort to do the alien stuff well.
 
The "ribbed" head seen in Aliens also looks better than the smooth look in Alien. Apparently this is what happens as the Alien gets older, the smooth dome becomes ribbed.

Also, Aliens is the best movie ever made.

Ah, that's why in Alien it got jettisoned out the airlock, because it was a smooth brain!?
 
Facehuggers can be pretty scary with their speed and the need to attach themselves to your head. Grown xenomorphs? Not so much.

The scariest alien from the movies is featured in The Thing imo.

I had (still have, she looked pretty good when I saw her a few years back) the most MASSIVE crush on Shawnee Smith, especially those earlier films like the Blob and Whose Harry Crumb.

Blob effects shits on 95% of modern horror movie effects, that shit was nasty and far more horrorific than the xenomorph, just imagine dying like that...

An alien just face-fuck you with his weird dick-tongue and you are dead in an instant.

The blob is absolutely one of my favorite movies easily one of the best remakes ever made. That said anyone who wants the film closely can tell you
but in the remake it's not actually from space but created by the government so doesn't technically fit in the discussion
but yes all hail practical effects

Me and my friends all agree with this

Alien = Terminator = Horror movies
Aliens = T2 = Action movies

Personally I prefer both T1 and Alien because I think the action in T2 and Aliens doesn't quite hold up.

I love Aliens but the first movie ruined me as an 8 year old. We saw it opening night. I had nightmares for weeks afterward. You have to remember there weren't movies like this other than the Exorcist (edit well Texas Chain Saw was out but no one had seen a big budget science fiction horror) . No one was ready to see that shit when it came out.

I remember watching Alien on TV as a kid with my cousin when we were way too young and both of us losing our shit when the chest-burster scene happened. Lambett's slow death just being heard on the radio as Ripley is legging it is nightmare fuel. Legit creeped out by that film for sure. Top Tier directing by Ridley Scott.



Much love for Aliens though. In large part because you think the marines are going to kick their ass, but nope. Not quite as scary, but it definitely has its moments. also Vasquez rules.

Can we also mention that Aliens probably has the most played trailer music as part of its soundtrack:



Lets also mention that this specific piece of music is so good, it's played twice within 15 minutes in the movie.
 
Dunno... I'd rather have to defend myself from these Aliens than the Thing. Though, the facehuggers seem worse.

The blob is also scarier than both but at the same time seems slower and more dumb. So probably easier to deal with?

It looks so sad

But to answer the OP, no, cause 3 years after Alien, a far more horrifying movie came out, and it was the best horror remake to date

This guy gets it.

The Thing is the best alien oriented horror movie ever made. Don't argue. Don't bring up another film. It's the best. And the monster is far more terrifying than the alien, because it can be anyone.

...cheatin' bitch.
