original Alien Poster

leading from



a) When the Alien poster first came out in 1979 outside of the cinema, I wondered what to make of the organic grid at the bottom. I thought at first that these were humans bowing down to accept their hellish fate as the primal egg unleashed it's glowing energy.  The since these things were not necessarily actually humans, I wondered if perhaps they were transforming into something less known and it was also something therefore very alien.  I also thought about people in anti-nuclear weapons protest people lying down with their arms spread out which still goes on today. This bowing down of multiple humans idea that I had would also bring me to think about a possible mass ritual suicide.
