Alien Chestburster

Alien chestburster gestates in the chest of victim, and is connected by blood vessels to the host organism, which makes it a parasite.

Alien Chestburster

Interestingly enough, the gestation period varies from a few minutes to a few days. Perhaps it has to do with whether the embryo in question is a common warrior type or a queen. In the latter case gestation seems to last days.

Once the chestburster makes its gory entrance this alien baby grows incredibly fast and reaches the full size in a matter of hours.

The fascinating part is that it reaches its full size without any apparent source of food around. It is yet another indication that the alien is an artificially designed life form.

Essentially, the chestburster is the miniature replica of the adult xenomorph.

SF Movie
WANTED

Did you see this movie?

Our visitor Margie is looking for a movie she saw as a kid. Here is her description:

"I am trying to find a TV movie I saw in 1963 -- was a late 50's or very early 60's sci-fi in which Madagascar fish protoplasm is brought to the U.S., escapes and becomes a huge blob that strangles people (and maybe eats them). This is not 'The Blob' with Steve McQueen. Could be Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?"

If you know the name of this SF movie or any information about it, please send us a message via this link.

Thank you!
