What?! Someone gets raped to death by a giant worm?! That’s insane! That’s crazy! That makes no sense! Do tell! In time, my friends, in time. And I think he was the one who filled me in about Galaxy’s notorious giant worm rape scene. his father used to take him to all the newest horror flicks, in turn he would come to school Monday and share all the gory details, and it’s from him (mostly, since he introduced me to Fangoria and used to bring it to school) where I knew all about these films before I ever saw them on cable. I had a friend in elementary school named Rob who got me into the magazine. I can’t recall when I saw the latter, just knowing when I did I instantly loved it, but knew of it (and Forbidden World) beforehand thanks to world renowned horror movie magazine Fangoria! Fang’s early article from the 80s is included down below along with a retrospective they did back in 2008. I have a much more vivid memory of seeing Forbidden World than I do of Galaxy Of Terror. When Alien horrified and captivated everyone he too decided to jump on this bandwagon and cranked out two of my favorite early rip-offs, Galaxy Of Terror (1981) and Forbidden World (1982), the next two to come into existence after Malone’s film. Corman’s been directing and producing movies most of his adult life, but started to focus more on producing when the 1980s hit. Geiger’s effects before hand, and being instantly inspired put his movie into production, but it didn’t get released until two years later.Įnter prolific director/producer Roger Corman, who as of this review is chugging along at 94 years of age, soon to be 95 in April. The first one, I believe, was William Malone’s Scared To Death (1981), going into production in February of 1979, even before Alien was released wide in the U.S. Right from the start Ridley Scott’s film started its influence and the inevitable Alien rip-offs began. There are currently four sequels, two prequels, an upcoming first time TV series, two spinoff movies that pitted the xenomorphs against the Predators (another equally influential movie franchise), several short films, toys, models, costumes, and comic books. Alien (1979) is one of those movies that comes along to become a huge influence on cinema and pop culture.
