In Space, No One Can Hear You Meme: 32 Alien Memes That Are Out of This World

At its core, the original Alien movie is essentially a brilliant twist on the classic "haunted house" trope. Instead of a family trapped in a spooky mansion with a ghost, it's a spaceship crew trapped with a terrifying alien lifeform. It's a familiar setup, but Alien takes it to a whole new level and executes it better than any haunted house film before it.

Being set on a spaceship ups the stakes dramatically—there's nowhere to run, no way to escape, and forget about calling for help. Add in the fact that the xenomorph is practically designed to terrify: acid blood that makes even injuring it a problem, a life cycle that goes from facehugger to chestburster to full-on alien predator in no time, and a constantly looming sense of "what's next?" It's a masterclass in suspense and dread. Not to mention the fact that you don't actually see the Alien throughout most of the movie.  

These 32 memes celebrate the brilliance, horror, and sheer nightmare fuel that is Alien. Whether you're a fan of the original film, the expanded universe, or just love watching people freak out over chestbursters, these memes will hit all the right (or wrong?) nerves.
