Yes folks Its here! On April 26th, we celebrate our 2nd “Alien Day.” This day was selected because in the original Ridley Scott “Alien” film, the crashed Engineer ship with the face hugger eggs is on planet LV-426 and 4/26 equals April 26th.
We couldn’t be happier. The “Alien” franchise has grown immensely in 35 years and has even branched off into prequels. “Prometheus”, a full-on prequel to the 1979 sci-fi horror masterpiece “Alien”.
With the day in full swing we are seeing a lot of art and events in celebration. Here are a few.

Remastered for vinyl, and featuring all new artwork by Kilian Eng.
Conducted by Lionel Newman and performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra, ALIEN is an absolute essential soundtrack; not only for fans of the franchise, but of the legendary composer, and of science fiction and horror cinema itself.
