Find out about all the hard work and creativity that went into making one of the scariest scenes of any movie ever.
Spaceballs saved my childhood. Watching it in 2015, Mel Brooks' Star Wars spoof is a mostly pleasant nostalgia-disseminator, but when I was a child, it served at least one more helpful function: it helped rid me of the nightmares wrought by Alien. Toward the end of Spaceballs, there's a typically goofball recreation of the famous chestburster scene. (Here, the alien emerges as a vaudevillian tapdancer and John Hurt survives.) Something that had traumatized me so much when I caught a glimpse of it on HBO one night had seemingly been defanged by the epic silliness of Mel Brooks. If you watch Alien in 2015, though, that iconic, blood-drenched xenomorph-hatching scene is still as terrifying as ever. A new video fully explains the reasons why.
