What’s your favourite scene from the Alien movies? Is it the slug alien bursting from Kane’s chest? Or the powerloader battle between Ripley and the mother Alien. Or simply Paul Reiser’s presence in Aliens? By telling us in limerick form, you could win one of three limited edition Alien Anthology alien egg box sets.
The box sets, which include all four Alien films plus 60 hours of special features (including never before seen stuff like Sigourney Weaver’s audition tapes), features the cool Unbound and MU-TH-ER modes for swapping discs quickly and easily and accessing all the special features. It’s also creepy as hell, especially when you switch on the light inside the egg at night time.
Worth $200 each, we’re giving away three of these beauties this week. To win one, we want you to write a limerick detailing your favourite scene from any of the four Alien films and post it in the comments section of the original competition here. Competition will close 5pm on November 9, with winners announced on November 10 (which just happens to be the day the box set is hitting store shelves).
Best of luck!

” Scoffing a meal fit for two
Kane rejoins his ragtag crew,
But before his salad waldorf
From his chest burts a zenomorph,
Now what shall the Nostromo do? “

“Creeping around in total dark
The aliens approach, the marines yell ‘Fark!’.
In her panties comes Sigourney,
sure to make the fans feel horny.
We only wish that she was stark”

Monday, November 8, 2010 at 12:48 PMThe Face-Hugger covers my head,
I don’t know it, but soon I’ll be dead.
When the creature gestating,
Bursts through my chest plating
“A good death for a red-shirt!” I said

With one last plan left to pitch
Her friends hunted by the queen
she climbs into a machine
‘Get away from her – You BITCH!”

Monday, November 8, 2010 at 9:31 PMThere once was a droid named Call.
Thought Ripley was an Alien thrall.
In ol’ Betty the fled,
After Momma they bled;
Smoked ‘em, Newborn and all!

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 8:43 AMDid I.Qs drop sharply while i was away
in the meeting Ripley did say
while she was debriefed
by Van Leuwen the chief
she let her anger run away
they didn’t get the point
the aliens will wreck the joint
in 12 hours or less
it killed my crew and made a mess
when its babys burst out your chest.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 9:40 AMThe Aliens are coming, its only a matter of time,
they will walk on feet,claws or slime,
if you encounter one you’ll say “bugger”
as you turn to run you’ll be assaulted by a face hugger.
you’ll be in pain for hours so you will try to hum,
and the your chest explodes,
the creature pops out and says “hey mum”

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 10:38 AMEmpty space permits not a sound
Yell and shout and you’ll still not be found,
But when aliens are breeding
Don’t stick around for the feeding,
Nuke from orbit, and not from the ground.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 1:42 PMFox was heard to complain,
‘An alien eats ripley’s brain?’
The cause of much sorrow
original ending was hollow
so they made ridley write it again.

at the movies
in my dreams
in my life
They come in peace
destroy the world
rupture chests
devour, invade
overthrow, save
are just like us
have alien gifts
We do not know!
