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: 

1. Kids vs. Aliens is based on the “Slumber Party Alien Abduction” segment from V/H/S 2 by the same director. 
2. This movie is actually what inspired Bite-Sized Sundays on the B Movies Channel Instagram!
