LEGO Alien Chestburster: Brickburster

The ARVO Brothers have been recreating elements from the Alien movies in LEGO as part of a book project for several years. When you devote that much time to LEGO, you know you have a true passion for it. It also allows you to go back and refine your designs. This chestburster is an improvement on a design they released back in 2007.

They didn’t just recreate the creature in LEGO bricks, they took it a step further, by adding LEGO blood and LEGO viscera. Nice. It makes for a gruesome display piece. I assume it was previously a LEGO facehugger, and will eventually evolve into an LEGO adult alien.

Cadbury Chestburster Creme Egg: No Bunny Knows Easter like an Alien

Cadbury Creme Eggs are the best! At least they were until the company changed the recipe. Now we see why. Apparently the plan was to have a lot of people with holes in their chest on Easter morning, with these aliens stealing all of your candy.

This not so fun Cadbury Creme Egg was made by Ghoulia Childs, who makes foods inspired by horror movies. This timely creation has a chestburster from the Alien movies. Yeah, I already was gonna pass on that new recipe, but now I will definitely stay away.

Makes sense. I had no idea that Cadbury was bought by Weyland-Yutani Corp. I guess it’s all Peeps now.

Xenomorph Life Cycle Magnets: The Circle of AAARGHHH!!!

Artist Jason McKittrick runs the Cryptocurium, an online shop of highly detailed horror and occult figurines. One of his newest offerings is about the birds and the bees. Or should I say the facehuggers and the chestbursters. Because this set of magnets illustrating the four stages of a Xenomorph.

Chestburster Drive Thru Prank: Would You Like a Side of ‘Alien’ With That?

One of the scariest elements of the Alien franchise has got to be the chestbursters. Even the mere thought of having an alien creature growing and feeding inside you before bursting out of your chest, causing excruciating pain is hair-raising. This holds true, even if you haven’t watched any of the movies, and prankster Rahat is well-aware of this.

That’s probably why he chose to do the alien chestburster prank on unsuspecting drive-thru workers. (On a side note, he’s done a lot of these drive-thru pranks so it’s only a matter of time before they wise up to Rahat’s ways, right?) Check out the reaction that his prank elicits from the drive-thru people, some of them are just priceless!

Alien Chestburster Macarons: Get in Me Belly (or Maybe Not)

One of the most memorable scenes in the history of science fiction has to be the John Hurt chestburster scene in the original Alien. It’s just the right blend of tension, suspense, and gross-out effects to be ranked up there at the top of list.

And while the crew of the Nostromo didn’t intentionally gestate aliens in their bellies, you now have the option to, thanks to these chestburster French macarons.

These delightfully nasty looking treats were made by Lou Lou P’s Delights, and while they look completely gross, they probably taste pretty awesome. That’s how the aliens lure you in to carrying their offspring, you see. While they look quite bloody, I bet that’s raspberry. Yum.

In addition to the chestburster, Lou Lou made some aliens in other states of their development, including facehugger and fully grown. Delightful.

Alien Chestburster Necklace Really Bursts from Your Chest

Few things in life make a woman look more appealing than an alien bursting from her chest. Well, aside from the odd TARDIS corset or Dalek dress.

H.R. Giger would be so proud. This Xenomorph necklace is made from bronze and can be purchased from Cthulhu Wake Up‘s Etsy shop for $50(USD). I’m not sure that it is very practical, I mean how would it stay in place, unless it’s got some sort of sticky alien goo on the back of the pendant.

Still, if you want to recreate the horror of an alien bursting from your chest, this is a great way to do it. Maybe you could wear some fake blood around the base. Okay ladies, would you wear this?

Alien Chestburster-in-a-Can: Open at Your Own Risk

How many times have you wanted to reenact that classic scene from Alien (and Spaceballs) where the xenomorph embryo pops out of Kane’s chest and does a little dance around the dinner table? While you might not want to implant one in your body, you can do the next best thing, with the Alien chestburster-in-a-can!

Just like the one in the classic Ridley Scott (and Mel Brooks) flicks, this pre-pubescent alien creature will spring to life, sure to scare the crap out of anyone who dare goes near the can of USCM standard-issue cornbread. Yummy stuff.

So put the keys in the Nostromo, rev it up, and pilot it on over to ThinkGeek for your very own Alien chestburster-in-a-can.

UPDATE: Happy April Fool’s Day!

Chestburster Plush: A Toy Only an Alien Queen Could Love

If a Facehugger plush facemates with a poor stuffed toy, a Chestburster plush can’t be far behind. This 1:1 scale replica is so accurate I wouldn’t hug this thing if my stuffed toy’s life depended on it.

The toy is 48″ long and has wires embedded inside, so you can bend and pose it and even make it stand on its own.

This Augmented Reality Shirt Will Have Chestbursters Bursting Out of Your Chest

Chestburster Augmented Reality T-Shirt

I screamed so loud the first time I saw an alien explode from a human being’s chest that my sisters banned me from watching another Alien movie until they both got married and moved out of the house. That said, it would probably be best if I stayed away from people who have these augmented reality shirts on, given the fact that chestbursters have been programmed to burst out of their chests at any given moment.

Of course, I’d need a compatible app running on my phone and I’d have to be pointing my device towards their chests to actually see the actual bursting action, but I’ve got a pretty wild imagination that makes up for apps my phone doesn’t have.

If you’re a fan of the Alien franchise, then you might actually want to get one of these shirts. Or you can save yourself thirty bucks and just get the tracking image from their site and silkscreen it onto your own shirt. The guys behind the shirt, Fingerfunk, put together a video showing the app (and chestbursters) in action. Hit the jump to check out the clip and links to more info about where you can get the shirt.

The shirt is available from Fingerfunk for $29.99.
