Artist Steve Parry has a great series of posters called Iconic Moments and it is just what it says on the tin. Iconic moments from some of our favorite Sci-Fi movies. He has a book in production that we are eager to check out as well. Below are a few of our favorites, but you can check out his page for many more.
We all know E.T. as Steven Spielberg’s lovable alien, but he wasn’t always so lovable. According to Uproxx, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial started as a horror movie. The alien seen here would have taken your Reese’s Pieces by force and it would have probably been very bloody.
The original plan was to make a horror sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where a group of aliens would harass some poor family. The working title was Night Skies and it would have been directed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Tobe Hooper. These aliens are a far cry from the lovable little guy we met in the 80s.
