Alien Darth Vader Helmet: Ripley, Believe it or Not!

If Darth Vader were a Xenomorph, man, that would be one heck of a scary movie. Scarier than all of the Alien movies combined. Behold the evilness right here before your very eyes. Thomas Spanos from the ‘As You Wish Project‘ created this mashup of Lord Vader and a Xenomorph into one cool helmet.

If Ripley saw this thing she would have just run out of an airlock. You can’t fight something this awesome and insane. You just can’t win against Vader as an alien.

H.R. Giger Counter is Too Creepy to Use

Get it? It’s a Geiger Counter made to look like it was created by H.R. Giger. I don’t know about you, but Giger’s Aliens creations creep me out. Therefore I could never use this. I would be too afraid that it would eat me from the hand up. Just let the radiation kill me.

If on the other, you hand want to check for signs of radiation on some alien world, then this Giger Geiger counter is for you. The base radioactive sensor electronics were purchased from Adafruit industries and then modded into a xenomorph by Steve D of Mad Art Lab.

It looks pretty amazing, and quite scary. And yes it does actually work as proven in the video. Now you can be safe from radiation and freak people out at the same time.

Custom Xenomorph Skull Is the Stuff Nightmares are Made of

If you’ve ever wanted a xenomorph skull to hang on your wall, but are too wimpy to hunt one yourself or in the company of some predators, check out this sweet skull.

This 4 pound xenomorph replica is about 32 inches long and will make it appear as if you are a galactic big game hunter. This is a badass replica of the alien skull that appeared only very briefly in a scene from Predator 2. The detail is simply striking and scary.

The skull was crafted by Wataru from PSYCHO MONSTERZ in Japan. Why hunt one and surely end up dead and drooled on, when you can buy one for $875 (USD) instead. It’s money well spent in order to creep out your house guests.

Facehugger Corset is Hugging the Wrong Stuff

This facehugger is doing it wrong. Not that I wouldn’t want to hug some boobs myself, but I don’t claim to be a facehugger and then go around being a boobhugger instead. This Alien inspired corset comes from Rage Custom Creations, which specializes in custom props and costumes. They do amazing work as you can see.

facehugger corset 1Great Ridley Scott, that’s a sexy corset! The silvery facehugger is actually a separate piece and could be used by itself if you wanted to be basically nude with an alien groping your stuff.

It’s a pretty original design even if it isn’t hugging a face. I forgive it for false advertising.

ThinkGeek’s Mark VII Sonic Screwdriver universal remote pleases Whovians in time for Comic-Con

DNP Think Geek unveils Sonic Screwdriver,

Ever wished you too could make use of the awesome powers that lie within Dr. Matt Smith’s Mark VII Sonic Screwdriver? Well, it’s still not exactly a reality in the way of the space-bred handyman’s gadget seen on Doctor Who, but ThinkGeek and The Wand Company have you covered if an IR-packing replica universal remote sounds good enough. This BBC-licensed Mark VII remote handles up to 39 commands that are all controlled using 13 different motion gestures. Of course, if controlling the likes of TV and AV devices in an extraterrestrial fashion just isn’t your thing, there’s always ThinkGeek’s Sonic Screwdriver flashlight, right? There’s no word on price just yet, but San Diego Comic-Con attendees can try it out first-hand at the BBC America Booth (#3629) starting July 12. The Mark VII remote is set to go sale for $99 at ThinkGeek’s website on August 31st, so for now we’ll direct you to the press release after the break.

Update: Video demo added after the break.

[Thanks, Alan]

Prometheus Blu-ray extras leak reveals Second Screen app and 15 minutes of deleted scenes

Prometheus Bluray extras leak reveals Second Screen app and 15 minutes of deleted scenes

While Ridley Scott’s Prometheus is still in theaters, it’s been available for preorder on Blu-ray 3D since before the flick debuted, and now Amazon France has exposed the full list of extras on the way. The bad news, pointed out by Movies.com and Prometheus Forum, is that those anticipating a classic Ridley Scott Director’s Cut to fill in plot holes appear to be in for a disappointment — while there are 15 minutes of extended / cut scenes, there’s no indication that you’ll be able to watch the movie with them reinserted. There are a lot of other extras, including a director’s commentary, extensive making-of featurettes, many of the short viral videos that were posted previously and production materials, along with a Second Screen iPad app. The specific set listed includes the other Alien flicks, but since we’re sure you’ve already snagged the Anthology with its MU-TH-UR interactive mode you’ll probably be looking for a more limited release. The release date for the set remains October 9th, hit the source link for the listing or check out the full list of features and a trailer after the break.
