How To Make Your Own Wearable Alien Facehugger Entirely Out Of Rubber Bands

Posted on by

Looking for a fun arts and crafts project? How about making your own wearable alien facehugger entirely out of rubber bands per this Instructable created by user tofugami? Personally, I can’t wait to make one, then slip it on when my girlfriend isn’t paying attention and see what she says. Hopefully not, “Well that’s an improvement.”

I should have just followed the video, but being the sort of ‘I don’t need an instruction book’ idiot that I am, I assumed I could figure it out on my own. I could not. My first mistake was probably trying to construct the facehugger actually ON my face. I can honestly say I’d never been stung by a rubber band on the face before, and I don’t ever want to be again.

So yeah, I decided to just make a rubber band ball instead. That turned out to be significantly more in line with my level of expertise, which, if I’m being completely honest with myself, is whatever comes right before beginner.

This Alien Facehugger Face Mask Keeps Viruses and Xenomorph Eggs In

Posted on by

If you’re going to have to wear a face mask to keep from spreading germs, it might as well be something interesting, right? Well, I can’t think of anything better than this Alien facehugger mask to prevent the your nose and mouth droplets from escaping and infecting others. As an added bonus, it’s guaranteed to increase social distancing by others around you.

Of course, it does mean that you’re willing to subject yourself to xenomorph eggs being implanted in your belly, but that’s a small price to pay for public health, right? You might even get a little tap dance out of it. This awesomely creepy mask was made by UK leather artist Pirate’s Leatherworks, who did an amazing job that’s sure to have him swimming in custom orders for quite some time.

If you’re interested in buying one for yourself, keep an eye out on the artist’s Etsy shop, where no one can hear you scream.

Alien Facehugger CPAP Mask: In Bed, No One Can Hear You Scream

Posted on by

If you suffer from sleep apnea, you know it’s no laughing matter, and can be a major health risk. Fortunately, CPAP machines can help keep your airway open while sleeping, and dramatically improve your quality of life. While CPAP machines aren’t exactly stylish, they do save lives. If I did have to wear a CPAP mask to bed, it would look like a facehugger.

With the same thought in his mind, apnea patient and self-proclaimed “tinker gnome” Jared Gray decided to build himself a custom CPAP mask by combining one of NECA’s life-size facehugger props with his expensive bit of home medical equipment, and the result is awesome.

Normally, a CPAP helps maintain positive air pressure, but this one works double duty by scaring the crap out of your system while you sleep. Though it might have the nasty habit of laying xenomorph eggs in your belly while you catch some shuteye. Everything has side effects, I suppose.

This is such a great idea. The 20th Century Fox licensing folks should get to work to turn this into official Alien merch.

Alien Facehugger Prop Replica Is Supremely Nasty

Posted on by

Out of all of the stages of xenomorph development, I think the facehugger is the nastiest. This disgusting creature not only has eight creepy, crawly, boney legs, but a snake-like tail, and a gross mouth that’s ready to stick its tongue down your throat and implant its egg into your belly. EEESH. If after all of that, you still really like the idea of having a facehugger in your house, you might want to check this out.

This impressive replica looks just like the facehugger prop they used in James Cameron’s Aliens. This gross looking monstrosity stands 28-inches tall as it coils up its goo-covered tail and gets ready to lunge at your head. It’s a “museum-quality” replica, though I’m not sure what museum would want this in its collection.

Hollywood Collectibles Group is making just 500 of these, but priced at $699.99(USD) each, I’d expect they might take a little time to sell out. That said, there are surely some die-hard Alien fans who will jump at the chance to add one to their collection. Me, I’m sticking to plush facehuggers.

Make Your Own Facehugger, Then Give It a Home

Posted on by

Few things in this life are as terrifying as a xenomorph or a facehugger. So creep out your friends and family by building your very own version of the creepy face-loving creature and its cryo-stasis tube from the Alien movies.

Prop maker Odin Abbott first shows how to make a fully-poseable facehugger using coat hangers and a couple of types of foam. Then he shows us how to build the see-through tube, using a sheet of plastic, some wood, a concrete forming tube, along with some other bits and bobs.

These projects are awesome and the final result makes some great display pieces among your other nerdy memorabilia. They look amazing and will add some creepiness to your collection – probably freak out the wife too, unless she is also a fan of the movies.

Life-size Facehugger Replica Won’t Lay Eggs in You

Posted on by

The science fiction creature that I would least like to run up against is definitely the xenomorph from Alien. Something bursting out of your chest is bad enough, but the thought of the facehugger grabbing your head and cramming eggs into your stomach is not good. Alien fans will soon be able to get their hands on a life-size facehugger of their own.

The replica will come from NECA sometime this summer. The creepy crawler is made of foam and will have a bendable tail, and is guaranteed to give you nightmares.

Other details on the replica are unknown at this point. Specifically we don’t know how its exact dimensions, and we have no idea how much it will cost. You can count on it not being cheap though; cool sci-fi replicas like these are never cheap.

Alien Facehugger Fritter: Creepy Cruller

Posted on by

This Alien facehugger fritter looks all kinds of disgusting. It is absolutely terrifying. It probably fights you with every bite and swallow, twitching and finally being still when it hits your stomach. Donut? More like Do-not!

I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it. Just that it looks scary and slimy. This freaky pastry was made by Oak Lawn, IL-based baker Timmy Hanno, aka archiehemmingway. He is a mad baking genius. He made this scary raspberry fritter as a gift for his girlfriend, who is a huge fan of the Alien films. So she loves her some face-hugging action.

He had previously made her a raspberry-filled xenomorph donut seen below, which is also terrifying.

Alien Facehugger Dog Leash: In Space, No One Can Hear You Bark

Posted on by

This Alien inspired facehugger dog leash is a fun accessory for dog owners, but that’s only because dogs don’t pay attention to movies. If they did, they would never allow this. Also, if they did pay attention to movies, they would know to talk and jump super high and play basketball and stuff.

This alien leash comes from Etsy seller GCFX, who had to put it on a fake dog because his dog is the one dog who is too smart to accept a doghugging Alien leash.

After your little walkies I hope you enjoy the Alien that bursts from your dog’s chest and bites your face off.
