In the meantime, I present to you this true story, told in tweets.
I dreamt about facehuggers last night -- that scene where Ripley and Newt are locked in a room with 2 of them :-P

You have to understand, guys, I HATE facehuggers. Worse than spiders, scorpions, needles, or that cat bus from Totoro.

YES THE CAT BUS FROM TOTORO WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.

The only thing that freaks me out more than facehuggers is open water.

Anyway, I was trapped in that room with Newt and Ripley for HOURS. I woke up totally stressed out.

I told my wife about it and tried to explain how terrible facehuggers are (she, of course, didn't really want to know).
— Adam Heine (@adamheine) September 6, 2012
I said, "We were trapped in this room right here." I slapped my hand against the bulletproof glass NOT REALIZING I WAS STILL IN THE DREAM.

You hate the cat bus?
ReplyDelete/friendship
You must be writing some really cool stories right now. That always sends my unconscious into fits of mania.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I predict that you KNEW your cat bus hate was going to derail this entire conversation.
ReplyDeletecat bus FTW! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, great - thanks for spreading the nightmare.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to be dreaming of nothing but this sucker clamped to my face.
Oh H.R. Giger did the world a favor by inventing this creature, did he not?
ReplyDeleteI came here to shame you about the cat bus per matt (also, because i read your blog regularly. Natch) but then got super distracted by how awesome this twitter conversation was. How awesome you ask? *hint: effing awesome*
ReplyDeleteAlso, hasn't your wife seen Aliens?
Okay that IS FREAKY. My subconscious had forgotten about facehuggers after 20 years of NOT WATCHING THAT MOVIE but now you have revived the horror! And I am intrigued (but worried) about the cat bus. Doesn't sound scary??
ReplyDeleteSo I see you are counting down the days to Stormdancer too!
