One of my favorite Christmas presents was this definitive chronicle of the making of the scariest movie of all time, Ridley Scott's Alien. It's chock full of behind the scenes info, pictures, storyboards, and all sorts of things that helped to make this movie the masterpiece that it is. The actual covers of the book are particularly striking. The alien still gives me the creeps even after all these years.
The book also comes with these neat reproductions of different things from the movie. I really like these repros of the storyboards, called Ridleygrams, Scott did of the famous chestburster sequence, which defined the movie for many people.
It also has repros of script sections and continuity Polaroids (how I miss them by the way) that are very cool.
And finally, there's this awesome sticker of the crew patch of the ill fated Nostromo. This baby definitely would have been on my notebook back in high school.
The book is really fascinating and is a must for any Alien fan.
Here's the link from Amazon. You won't be disappointed.
