Friday Feature: “Alien” and “Aliens”

With Halloween almost approaching, there’s never been a better time to revisit notable horror film scores than with our ongoing series of Friday Features.

This week, we cover the first two, multiply-reissued scores in the infamous Alien franchise. Happily, both of the reissues discussed herein are readily available, so if you’re inspired to hear the music of these classic films, you don’t have to dig particularly deep.

Have a read after the jump – and remember, in space no one can hear you scream.
