We aren’t showing you the actual facehugger scene in the slide above because it’s just that upsetting. What makes it one of the all-time creepy horror movie scenes?

Worst of all, Kane (John Hurt) just has to lie there, feeling a tentacle tighten around his neck while Ash (Ian Holm, above) tries to help him. While also kind of admiring the ruthlessness of the aquatic looking creature.
