Sinopsis

Includes a study of Alien andá A History of the Horror Film Portmanteau,Re: Aleien: Some of us find it hard to believe that 2011 marks the 32nd anniversary of Ridley Scott&rsquo,s landmark science-fiction picture, Alien, which 20th Century Fox released on May 25, 1979 (exactly two years after the studio premièred George Lucas&rsquo,s phenomenal Star Wars, although it&rsquo,s hard to imagine two more different s.f. movies). This article was originally presented as a paper at the Fourth International Conference on the Fantastic (Boca Raton, Florida, March 26, 1981).. Since that time, there have been some major contributions to Alien studies, including David Thomson&rsquo,s book-length study, The Alien Quartet (Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 1999)&mdash,not to mention the commentary that can be found on the various DVD issues of the Alien films. But none has ever looked at the movie the way that &ldquo,In Space, No One Can Hear Your Primal Scream&rdquo, does. Thus, for the first-time publication of the complete text of this article, I have, for the most part, used as references those articles and interviews that came out shortly after the movie played theatrically, as they have the advantage of &ldquo,freshness&rdquo,&mdash,of being critics&rsquo, and filmmakers&rsquo, initial thoughts before the sequels and many imitations got in the way
