SCARED TO DEATH

[@emmental2020]

The legendary Veronica Cartwright. Undisputed winner of looking the most shit scared in cinematic history.

[@peterestrada9420]

Well said, fine scholar😉🤙 An absolute “Cream of the Crop”, amongst such, Outstanding Performances. Everyone did a Spectacular Job, BUT☝️as you’ve already so rightly declared…., Wow, What a Performance 🎭 and No other has yet to even come Close. Just stunning🎭🙏

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

Shelley Duvall was brilliant in The Shining, especially when you consider what she went through during filming.

[@astronautist4716]

​@BerryNiceToMeetYou yeah this was who I immediately thought of when they said 'undisputed'. Difference is probably that Duvall was by that point genuinely terrified & not even acting

[@epicsseven7686]

"Invasion of The Body Snatchers." The ending scene with her terrified is epic. Every time that I go past city hall here in San Francisco. I think about that ending scene, because that's where it had taken place. R.I.Hollywood to Donald Sutherland. He'd passed away today. He's the guy pointing at her in that end scene.

[@commandosolo1266]

Ironically, Ms. Cartwright had no patience for Lambert. She wanted Ripley's part. If you'd like to see her playing a strong woman, definitely look up Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[@roberthiltz2741]

The audio of the Parker/Lambert scene is iconic and chilling. It never fails to give me goosebumps hearing her last gasps and screams while Ripley is trying to make her way back and help her crew…

[@xenomorphlover]

Especially the last horrifying scream which indicates that it did something to her which ultimately killed her....and then Ripley finds her hanging on something 😳😱

[@mistermatix8241]

​​​@@xenomorphlover I always (unfortunately) think the alien attempted a rape. The fact she's stripped naked, and there's (shudder) blood running down her legs, makes me think the Alien ripped her insides out......fucking horrible. Was the tail his penis? It looked incredibly serrated, gnarly, and the fact he put it between her (well...we fans know) legs, in a suggestive way......

[@xenomorphlover]

@mistermatix8241 yes I also thought about it. It sounds horrifying and who knows what it did to its male victims. The Xenomorph in the first movie showed a lot of curiosity (similarly to the newborn in Resurrection) and we don't know if it had any sexual desires or just wanted to explore the human anatomy. I think these things however should remain a secret and up to the viewers imagination (that's also why I absolutely hate Prometheus and Covenant 😁😶)

[@stillhere9728]

An alternative scenario could be that Lambert backs into the aforementioned locker and thereafter goes catatonic. Ripley searches her out but with the self destruct started she cannot get Lambert out and is forced to leave her behind. Lambert snaps out as the shuttle departs. All Ripley can do is listen to Lambert as she screams in panic over the coms before the ship blows up.

[@paladin56]

Mmm. I don't know. For me the xenomorph acts on instinct. I think if it had that level of intelligence it would have evolved somewhat. It does, of course, have an incredible instinct for survival.

[@georgehouliaras7239]

Imagine being the perfect lifeform and you go in for the kill and your victim dies from a heart attack of something before you even do anything. Big Chap was lucky that there was no hive yet because they would roast him to hell.

[@norwegianblue2017]

I like the idea a lot. I mean, if anything could scare you to death, it would be the Xenomorph getting ready to tear you apart. Being an incomprehensible alien life form makes it 100x scarier than facing a similar fate from a lion or bear. But I don't think the audience would buy it and find it anticlimactic. I think the way the theatrical release handled it was probably best. Your imagination is usually much scarier than seeing the violence, provided the scene is built up properly like it was.

[@VikingTeddy]

Definitely. And Lamberts screams aren't the usual of fear or pain. It evokes something much worse.

[@callmeviper7723]

Dying of raw fear and horror would have been the most disturbing. Pure Cosmic horror. The fear of the unknown, killing you.

[@ShiftyMoses]

i think a character could silently hide in a locker, then get so scared they start having a heart attack, that causes them to start screaming in pain, alerting the xeno and ending up in the death of character, theres some sort of poetic irony here i think, nothing to fear but fear

[@commandosolo1266]

What always make me shudder about Lambert's demise is that she was wearing white trousers and boots, but when Ripley discovers her, she's barefoot and the trousers have vanished. Lambert's dangling just off the floor somehow, it appears her big toe is broken, and blood courses down her ankles in rivulets. The entire film merges sexual and violent imagery, culminating in this single shot implying Lambert was molested to death.

[@cyrusq5999]

There's a deleted shot of the Alien, preparing to punch a hole in Lambert's face (within the 3hrs 2003 documentary); that's where I believe the blood is coming from: a hole in her forehead - just like Parker. I also believe her body's hanging from the same 'S'-shaped hook(s), used for hanging up the spare spacesuits seen in the room. Parker tried to stab the Alien with one, before it swatted him with its whip-like tail.

[@flattmeister1704]

If you’ve played Aliens: Colonial Marines. In the multiplayer as the Xeno there’s a “Impale” finisher. The tails coils round behind the human enemies and goes in between the legs and out the mouth. It seems the devs took a creative license on what they thought happened to Lambert.

This is back when, in this scene with CGI not being a thing, there was literally a man in an alien suit moving ever so slowly to intensify the tension of what poor Lambert is about to endure. Plus the score was terrifying by itself, but when added to this part ... Holy Shite! Whereas with movies today where CGI is a thing, this entire scene would've been over in about 1.3 secs. The audio would've been loud, the scene would've been too dark and I would probably regret coming to the movies in the first place. 😀

[@paladin56]

CGI is ruining movies in my opinion. Look at the two different Medusa scenes in Clash of the Titans and the remake. The Harryhausen stop motion scene is pure art and creepy as he'll. The CGI remake scene is a long, drawn out, loud and tiresome chase sequence.

The original plan for shuttle was to lock the alien in there and make it blow with remote explosives. And just love how they Lambert death like they show in the movie ( or not shown better said) .

[@SenneSoli]

excellent video. For me this remains one of the most scary scenes, thanks for Cartwright her acting, the background music, the vague unexplained things...somebody suggested (and I think it was this channel) that the naked legs could be the result of them trying out a version of this scene in which the Alien tries to pull Lambert up a vent, but maybe Parker tries to prevent it and pulls at her legs...that is stuck in my head now....guess we'll never know

I might be almost as much of an ALIEN franchise nerd as you, but your level of lore knowledge is far superior to mine. Needless to say, I loved this video! I pray this new film will be the ALIEN film I've been waiting for. I've been burned so many times, though there are many elements of all the films that I appreciate. But there just wasn't anything close to seeing ALIENS in the theater for the first time ever repeated again throughout the decades. That film was an experience that was once-in-a-lifetime. I think I have been pining for a duplication of that I don't think will ever happen again. A lot of people didn't care for Resurrection but it is actually my 3rd favorite in the franchise for it's sheer fun and action factors. If Fede has recreated some of the suspense from the first film, the chaotic action of the the second, and enough surprises and horrible deaths with his new film, I am all-in!

[@Channel88266]

Original Scripts: Dallas: That was Brett...It ate Lambert. That is some scary shit & it is just one creature.

[@greyone40]

I think the way it ended up in the film is best. Just enough happens on camera, and just enough happens off camera. The weird shot of the alien on all fours moving toward Lambert feet first would have been silly looking. Moving like that doesn't suggest a fearsome predator at all. The alien squeezing out the small hole in Resurrection was silly looking too. Unfortunate that they used it.

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

The newborn getting sucked out of that tiny hole was fitting for the silliness of the rest of the film. Like a newborn chestburster punching through a chest and two layers of skull, or General Perez's plucking a piece of his brain out and looking at it, or his ape like hairy arms, or 2 aliens talking back and forth forming a plan to escape the observation pods, or the newborn actually saying mama, etc, etc

[@whatsthestory2612]

I've always felt the tail has a secondary meaning. It is HR Giger's design. Maybe the tail is not a tail, or not just a tail.

It’s not even subtext. Just look at H.R. Giger’s _Necronom IV_ painting that Dan O’Bannon chose to be his Alien and convinced Ridley Scott to join the project.

[@SerpentNight]

The earliest version of a person dying of fright in film might be in "The Monster That Challenged the World", circa 1957. The title creature is kind of xenomorph like in some respects.

[@frank3508]

By far the most disturbing and unsettling theory I've ever heard regarding Lambert's death and the horror of what she actually went through is related to her character being transgender, which is canon. The xenomorph aproached her very slowly, sizing her up with what could pass for morbid curiosity, because it was trying to process the contradiction it sensed between her outward appearance and its instinctive pheromonal understanding of what it was encountering. So to resolve this contadiction it performed an instant evisceration, dissection, and "autopsy" on her while she was still alive and fully, horrifyingly aware of exactly what it was doing to her as she was so gruesomely brutalized in her last moments.

As Ripley is running down the corridor you can hear Lambert on the speakers huffing and puffing like a woman does when she's using the shallow breathed breathing technique during labor. Then she coyly says "...you GOT it." then there's her single echoing horrific shriek. It seems to be implied that her mind completely snaps and she's actually taking intense pleasure from her final moment of death as if its a great release. Or perhaps something more horrific is being done to her. All we see of her is her bloodied bare leg and foot with a broken big toe. I think the intent was to overwhelm the viewer with an intense cacophony of terror inducing sights and sounds and let their panicked in the moment brains string together an idea, any idea wether it made sense or not.

I'd like to see the alternate takes for the insert shots (filmed at Bray Studios) of Parker's brains being smashed in by the Alien's 'tongue'. The first ALIEN MAKERS documentary interviewed someone who was there during the filming, and revealed that a much more gruesome take existed, that was: "too good to be used" in the film (too graphic). I doubt DISNEY has the balls to release such amazing footage. Would love to see it for the 50th anniversary though.

[@fredleggett923]

@@cyrusq5999 I also remember that from the Alien Makers docu. Supposedly, the 3+ hour cut screened for Fox execs was an absolute bloodbath that might've gotten it an X rating (though that could've been exaggerated since X was generally reserved for "adult" fare). I'd love to see it all, even in just rough form. Gore back then was so much more visceral than it is today.

[@cyrusq5999]

@@fredleggett923 Sadly, I suspect what was graphic back then, would be tame by today's standards. I'd still like to see the 'complete' version with EVERYTHING back in. There's still quite a few deleted scenes of interest that I'd like to see released: The original hypersleep awakening sequence (minus the surgical tape for the two ladies). Parker & Brett's first scene, down in Engineering (Ripley calls them both to get to the mess for an important crew meeting). The rest of the Chestburster rushes (I believe Ron Cobb said there was about 40 mins worth filmed?) The deleted scene where Dallas accuses Ash of protecting the Alien - if it was filmed. In the Terry Rawlings ALIEN script, this deleted scene has a pen line drawn through it. Perhaps cut from the script and never filmed? Brett's death, as originally filmed. Same with Parker & Lambert. Ash's interrogation - as originally filmed - with much more dialogue than what ended up in the final revised version. The 'Box Alien' - if it was ever filmed?

[@fredleggett923]

@@cyrusq5999 There's also the (in)famous storyboarded scene of Kane's sarcophagus somehow getting tangled in the Nostromo near a window and scaring the hell outta the crew. I seriously doubt it was filmed, though, since Kane's body is shown speeding and tumbling away from the ship. There is a channel I ran across recently which posted takes of the chestburster scene that I had never seen, and I've eyeballed a LOT of stuff not included in the theatrical. Footage keeps getting trickled-out from the most unlikely of sources year after year. There were only a few minutes worth, but SO interesting. I'll have to track down the channel. It's interesting that Dallas had serious suspicions about Ash. I'd give it 50/50 on whether or not it was filmed. I think the "box" alien would've been damn-near impossible to pull off in 1979 without looking cheesy or weird. I know it was in the graphic novel, though, so...maybe? And the other scenes you mentioned are definitely in a Disney vault somewhere. Knowing Disney, though, plebs like us will never see them unless they're smuggled out.

i remember in Oz there was a scene where a dude was a snitch and the dude he snitched on pulled a knife on him, and he started to panic.... but then one of the dudes who forced him to snitch shows up and he starts to calm down, until that guy also pulls a knife and says he is there to kill him. while the two would-be murderers argue about who gets to kill him, the guy has a heart attack and the two say their goodbyes and depart. 😉

Alien: Isolation is the only game that made me so terrified as I was as a kid when the original Alien commercial came out, and scared the crap out of me.

How's this. Lambert is scared to death and remains standing. The xenomorph leaves. Ripley arrives seeing Lambert standing there. Ambient light shines in her eyes.

[@maxfieldstanton5005]

Sure it could. I’m thinking of the trope of a survivor hiding in a locker and the killer unexpectedly appears and acknowledges they know the survivor is in their (“Peekaboo!”). For the alien the terror would be the head just popping into view unexpectedly beside the locker, unmoving and in profile. Were it any other killer with eyes, the eye turning to face the viewer would probably be the big scare. But for a thing without eyes like the Xenomorph the fear would be that it somehow could be looking sideways at you and you’d never know, safe for the fact that it’s stuck to that spot in front of your hiding place, as though waiting for you.

There has been moments in movies where a person has died by being scared to death. The 1955 movie Les Diabolique- the wife of the headmaster who they thought were dead, rising from a bathtub.

The one that makes Specimen Six look like she's got some pent up frustration to go along with the usual killing frenzy stuff. Of all the ways to die by Xenomorph, having *that* happen to you is probably one of the worst. If Lambert got to die of fear, then it was a mercy compared to what her crewmates went through.

You don't just hear Lambert scream when she's killed. You failed to mention what may be even a scarier sound. Right after you hear Lambert give several terrifying screams you hear what sounds like something breathing quickly, or like small quick grunts. This is followed by Lambert's final horrifying scream. Those sounds is what leads to the rumors that Lambert met her end in a far worse fate than we could imagine, as it kind of appears that Lambert was penetrated.....down there.....by the aliens tail. The way the tail comes in down below really slowly lends possible truth to that thought. So essentially, Lambert was........penetrated to death. This idea is not exactly out of left field. The whole scary part about the xenomorphs and the face huggers, is how they invade us in such a personal way. Latching to our faces, forcing the embryos down our throats. Using our bodies to grow then birthing threw our chest. The original design by HR Giger, was all about mixing the biomechanical with invasive sexual undertones.

that scene where it comes down from out of those chains. the theater i was in almost half of it jumped up and ran out of the theater as fast as they could!!!!

[@arcaneminded]

8:23 mmmm may want to look up the Byford Dolphin accident.

[@kutter_ttl6786]

In his defence, the accident happened 4 years after the movie came out, and the size and shape of the holes are very different. Byford Dolphin accident hole was a 60cm crescent shaped gap while the director wanted a 1/16in (1.6mm) hole, quite significant differences.

I think it is a realistic demise for Lambert. She was a very highly strung character who was dealing with the situation worse than any of the other characters. I think the scene where she slaps Ripley shows she was a highly emotional individual so it's not too much of a stretch for her to have died of fright. As you say, we are somewhat desensitised to the xenomorph now but try to imagine being confronted by that thing in real life for the first time. I much prefer that scenario to the idea that the alien r***d her, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I've never been one to scare easily. Yet, for the last 10 months, I've been working up the courage to continue 'Alien: Isolation' ! 😱 Yikes, did they get that game right. At least so far. I've played a whole 5% of it, maybe. 😆 My phone rang once and jumped out of my chair. And YES, I think a person could be frightened to death by The Alien. Especially if one is living the life of a sheltered, isolated deep space traveler with a limited crew for company. The Alien is at the opposite end of the spectrum from 'calm'.

[@MrLedFarmer0331]

Great stuff! Keep up the good work!

[@s.plissken_91]

You hear her choke on the tail. It goes all the way up her legs and through her mouth. Like the finisihing kill in the AVP game, explaing why said kill was added for the xenomorph.

[@pavelbelov9957]

I love your videous!! You are my favorite!!!

[@justinmanser7525]

Scared to death, I was told as a child that when falling from a great height that you are dead before hitting the ground...however, skydivers build up tolerance to such things although surely once the rip cord is pulled and seeing your camping equipment fall out the backpack might do it!

[@p.j.c.2.0]

I think Alien Isolation should be made into a Live Action Movie .

[@leex187]

I always like your descriptive commentaries on the Alien franchise are you looking forward to the new one I am very excited

[@Adarkane325xi]

I’ve never told anyone this, but occasionally i’ll have a nightmare about being chased by a Xenomorph. In my dream, it ain’t a guy in a rubber suit, either. I guess the Alien is hardwired into me at this point.

[@CoryBowman-lb7wq]

Damn i love this channel I've been watching since day one good times now we have this new alien movie coming out and it actually looks really good a great time to be a alien fan

[@steelcurtain187]

I love the idea of this. If anything could cause it, it would be the xeno 👽

[@ShadowStoryteller]

It would certainly be a game changer...having a character in the Alien franchise scared so badly they are literally Scared To Death. Will the kids today get it? I don't know.

[@idiotproofdalek]

I always thought the fact that it didn’t eat people, it just killed them, made the alien much more interesting.

[@shadowpapito]

Thank you, I did not know about the book. I went and got it and really enjoyed it!

[@tasha7726]

If a Xenomorph came through my bedroom door one morning I'd probably drop dead on the spot. So yes, I believe someone could die of fright from the sight of that thing alone.

[@christophersims7060]

Great video!

[@frankdoubleday4984]

The concept of being scared to death is not new. If you look at the 1955 film Les Diaboliques it is actually the main intention for one of the women to literally 'die of fright'. Therefore letting the villains plans be fulfilled.

[@natesullivanw24]

I like how it is in the original cut. If anything, I’d like to know more about the crab walk

[@georgeharris9873]

Veronica was ripped off by not getting an Academy Award. Her performance was brilliant.

[@kaltonian]

the best scare tactics i have ever come across,

[@jonathanc.gillespie4897]

This is the story of L, a 28 year old woman presenting to the ER unconscious and with no pulse, having been pulled from a locker. The medical team suspects terminal fright as caused by a xenomorph-xeno, from the latin for “other”, morph, meaning “form”, so “other form”…

[@KacperLipa]

The audio of Lambert will be forever stuck in mind of Alien fans...

[@danbills]

I'm a die hard xenomorph fan and I haven't seen in any video, movie, comic or movie something related to the force of the second jaw. I hope that someday you can do something related to that. Greetings from Mexico.

[@allenwood9967]

I often thought the outcome was impaled by the tail followed by the head bite.

[@alejandromolinac]

The footage of the tale is from Brett’s death scene…. You can tell as he wears speakers and Lamber is wearing girl cowboy boots….on the deleted scenes the tale “stings” at the neck as the Alien grabs the head…. People think this scene too much…..

[@allenwood9967]

@@alejandromolinac I know that segment is from Brett's feet and they used it in Lambert's situation, just a thought because we don't see her die and when Ripley arrives she looks to have been stripped of her clothes.

[@dragdragon23]

with the now nude leg with streams of blood on it, tells of the gruesome death of Lambert. I say her death was from H R Giger's sexual death art and with the short time in the movie, I say the Alien wanted a quickie.

[@wtfsalommy3250]

Oh Shhht, wez back !!!! 💪💪

[@louismendoza-y9l]

Lamberts off screen death was chilling, and best not seen. Probably Ridley Scott was pulling from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre less is more, not every gory detail needs to be shown. Or they ran out of time and money.

[@dood1234DOOD]

The man talks movies then proceeds to educate us 🤯

[@laurenced2916]

It's scarier hearing what happened to Lambert than seeing it

[@fentazen2677]

I like the idea of her dying of fear, but I’ve always been very skeptical about how this would’ve been portrayed on film. Would it have been confusing to the audience why she died? Would the alien have ripped open the locker for her lifeless body to fall out a bit later? Not much room to shoot inside a locker either.

[@ajw9533]

There was an accident at a decompression chamber when a deep sea diver suffered exactly what Scott proposed for Lambert.

[@riccarrasquilla379]

thanks for the video

[@backwash69777]

Wasnt the scene of the tail going up the leg a part of brets desth scene?

[@dg6246]

Thanks. Love it.
