About a year ago I was at a conference in Prague, and one evening, sipping beer with some of the other researchers, discussion turned to movies. And of course, being academicians, everybody was talking about their favourite last-year-at-marienbad style "highbrow" stuff. At which I said that doubtless these are all great movies but the best movie ever made is of course Aliens. Then, after shouts of "of course!", we spent the next hour throwing Aliens quotes at each other.

Pyrogenesis, that's just more proof that it don't matter when it's Arcturian.

Great job. If he would have made it so that the graspers moved I would have high fived the screen.

Now I want to see a Zipper Face mask on a baby.

Now I want him to fight the neighbors, where mom is dressed up as the alien queen, and her daughter is a chestburster.

I want to see it fight this.

I saw a picture of this in a halloween slideshow that I was subsequently unable to find. Usually not a huge fan of SLYT posts, but this one is awesome. Thanks for posting this.

I've seen an inordinate number of babies/infants/toddlers involved in their parents costumes this year, and I love it.

I know it's nothing new, my parents have a old pic of me as Baby Jesus complete with tinfoil halo while they went as Joseph and Mary what seems like eons ago.

I used to think Master Blaster would be the ultimate daddy-kiddo costume. Now I'm not so sure.

That looks exhausting.

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but it is utterly charming:
Spotted on the Boston Subway on Halloween, these parents have been dubbed 'the coolest parents in the world' on Twitter and Tumblr for their impressive Where the Wild Things Are costumes - complete with papier mache heads

This build could work with one of those baby backpack carriers (re-decorated to fit the style of course)
