Put your admiration for Alien where your mouth is with facehugger ski mask

If there was ever a cult classic film, Alien would be it. Before director Ridley Scott was a household name, there was the film that started it all — the 1979 sci-fi thriller that has withstood the test of time in truly remarkable fashion and spawned an entire franchise over nearly four decades. As it would happen, there’s an entire day dedicated to the movie, and that day happens to be — you guessed it — today. And what better way to celebrate than with a Facehugger Ski Mask?

If you’re interested in (cosmetically) suffering the same fate as most of the cast in the classic film (which is to say, having an alien attach itself to your face so it can then implant an embryo in your stomach), you can now purchase this acrylic ski mask that won’t make you the most inconspicuous bank robber, but will certainly identify you as a superfan.

Because really, you’d have to be a superfan to want a facehugger to adorn any piece of your clothing, let alone one that covers your noggin. In the movie, the creature features long, creepy, human-like fingers and a telltale whipping tail. The often graphic scenes involving the monster, IGN points out, were “intended as a riposte to various scenes of abuse suffered by female horror protagonists at the hands of male monsters,” and boy, are they effective.

So if you’re looking for a way to keep your face warm next winter (sadly, these face masks won’t ship until September), you may want to consider jazzing up your wardrobe with a facehugger ski mask. Who knows, you may just think of it as the very best $30 you’ve ever spent. And in the meantime, celebrate Alien Day by re-watching any one of the five films in the series — and get excited for the 2017 release of Alien: Covenant.

The Old Guard 2 cast chooses iconic movie moments to witness for the first time
A group of soldiers stand in the dirt in The Old Guard 2.

Internet culture in the Digital Age moves at the snap of a finger. Thanks to the social media algorithm, what's popular today might not be talked about tomorrow. Five years feels like a lifetime. That's how long it's been since The Old Guard premiered on Netflix. It's fitting that a follow-up to a movie about a team of immortals would take its time before hitting the service. Mortals, rejoice. The wait is over. The Old Guard 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Charlize Theron returns for the action-packed sequel as Andy, the leader of a team of immortal mercenaries who serve as protectors of the world. The team consists of immortals Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), along with a mortal, James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Speaking of finite creatures, Andy now copes with her mortality, which affects every decision, knowing she can finally die. Andy and her team will be tested with the arrival of Discord (Uma Thurman), the very first immortal with a sinister plan that threatens the universe. To defeat Discord, Andy seeks the help of an old friend, Tuah (Henry Golding), who may hold the secrets of immortality.

Want to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey teaser trailer? Here’s what you need to know
Matt Damon stares with a helmet on.

The most anticipated movie of 2026 is not up for debate. Apologies to fans of Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Messiah, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but those movies pale in comparison to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

For his follow-up to Oppenheimer, Nolan is adapting Homer's Greek epic poem about the legend of Odysseus. The Odyssey is in production and well over a year away from hitting theaters. The first teaser trailer has been released. However, there is a catch.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: A fun but all-too familiar blockbuster
Jurassic World Rebirth: a sequel that brings some life back to an exhausted franchise
A man and woman hide in a field and stare curiously in "Jurassic World Rebirth."

Director Gareth Edwards (The Creator) has brought audiences back to the land of dinosaurs with his film, Jurassic World Rebirth. This standalone sequel to Jurassic World Dominion follows a team of hired operatives as they journey to an island inhabited by mutant dinosaurs, which were left behind by Jurassic World researchers, and try to gather enough dino-DNA to generate a cure for heart disease.

The Jurassic Park franchise is struggling to keep things fresh and engaging. Clearly, the filmmakers knew this fact during the production of Jurassic World Rebirth. This sequel falls short of expectations with its familiar story elements, some thin characters, and a clunky script. Nevertheless, Jurassic World Rebirth still provides some entertainment, featuring some terrific new players, exhilarating action scenes, terrifying suspense, and outstanding visuals. This movie is far from the best in the Jurassic Park saga, but it's a decent blockbuster nonetheless.
