Test footage from Alien was way creepy, even with the xenomorph out of costume

You may remember that the titular xenomorph in Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien was sometimes depicted by a man in a suit. Here’s test footage of 6’10” Nigerian actor Bolaji Badejo practicing his extraterrestrial motions. Even with a mock-up of the xenomorph’s head alone — and Badejo running around in his underwear — these reels remain unsettling.

I love everything about this video. The only thing that would make my life more complete at this point is a summer home on LV-426.
