This Horror Maternity Photo Shoot Is Straight Out Of Ridley Scott’s Alien

Here’s a better way to celebrate an incoming baby and Halloween together. Step one: get a photographer. Step two: find a pumpkin patch. Step three: stage the chestburster scene from Alien. Step four: take lots of disturbing photos. Content warning! The photos in this article are not for the faint-hearted.

According to PetaPixel’s Michael Zhang, Todd and Nicole Cameron (pictured) decided they “didn’t want a ‘serious’ maternity photo shoot” and came up with something entirely their own… and horrifying:

It all started after Todd Cameron found an Alien Chestburster model at a garage sale … Todd had the idea of using the xenomorph model for a lighthearted series of maternity photos.

The Nanaimo, British Columbia-based couple created their own costumes and props and enlisted the help of friend and local photographer Li Carter, who photographed them over the course of an hour in a pumpkin patch.

It all starts innocently enough.

Before descending into Alien territory.

All pretty horrible, right? Then… it gets weird.

If you’d like to see all the photos, they can be found on Cameron’s Facebook or dedicated Instagram account.
