Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Alien Ridley Scott

It has been 40 years since director Ridley Scott first introduced to the iconic monster we know as the xenomorph in his film ALIEN, and to celebrate the anniversary Turner Classic Movies is teaming with Fathom Events to bring ALIEN back to theatres for three days in October.

The event is called "TCM Big Screen Classics Presents Alien 40th Anniversary":

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Alien! Directed by Ridley Scott, the original sci-fi classic follows Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) investigating a suspected SOS on a remote planet and makes a terrifying discovery. 

This anniversary event includes exclusive insight from Turner Classic Movies. 

Screenings will take place on October 13, 15, and 16. Tickets can be purchased on FathomEvents.com.

If you're like me and have never seen ALIEN on the big screen, these screenings will be a great opportunity to do so… And if you're a fan who has already seen ALIEN in a theatre before, here's your chance to do it again.
