Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping alien-centric horror into the ol’ VCR.
For someone who hates both Arrival and Interstellar, I sure do love a good alien movie.
Give me that creature from outer space, Katy Perry’s E.T.-loving goodness every single day.
Notice I said creature here.
I am opening this category up to creatures from outer space, not just the stereotypical little green men we’ve all come to know and love.
That means we’re including everything from hive-minded leeches to war propaganda satires. You can take a guess as to the movies I’m referring to here.
I also had to limit myself, multiple times, when making this list.
There are sooooo many good movies with space scaries, and we’d be here until the next Big Bang if I didn’t draw the line somewhere.
On that note, here are 22 (GOD) movies and one segment with intergalactic entities that’ll make you think twice about looking up in the night sky:
- E.T.
- Alien
- Nope
- Signs
- Aliens
- Slither
- Sputnik
- Contact
- Grabbers
- Slack/Back
- Annihilation
- The Faculty
- Men in Black
- Kids vs. Aliens*
- Starship Troopers
- The Deadly Spawn
- Independence Day
- No One Will Save You
- War of the Worlds (1953)
- Stepsister from Planet Weird
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers
- Killer Klowns from Outer Space
- V/H/S 2 segment – “Slumber Party Alien Abduction”
*Two fun facts:
- Kids vs. Aliens is based on the “Slumber Party Alien Abduction” segment from V/H/S 2 by the same director.
- This movie is actually what inspired Bite-Sized Sundays on the B Movies Channel Instagram!
