10 Best Horror Movie Deleted Scenes

5. Burke Cocooned - Aliens (1986)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrLCwsKT-2w Okay, Aliens leans more towards sci-fi/action than it does flat-out horror, but this horrific scene is still deserving of a shout-out. Having escaped the Xenomorph nightmare that saw all of her shipmates slaughtered, Ripley is greeted by some folks at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation when they awaken her from hypersleep. This includes Carter Burke (Paul Reiser), a junior executive with the company, a glorified bean-counter who ultimately convinces Ripley to enter the field with both him and a pack or rumble tumble Marines. Initially, Burke seems like a firm if likeable enough sort, though soon enough reveals that he in fact has sinister ulterior motives. In the end, Burke is found out, but before the Marines can summarily execute him, he manages to sneak away, where he is taken by a Xenomorph, and presumably later chest-bursted. Burke's fate is confirmed in Aliens' most well-known deleted scene. As Ripley is inside the Hive, she is suddenly grabbed by a hand. It turns out to be Burke, who is cocooned to the wall with a Chestburster inside him. He begs Ripley to kill him; she gives him a hand grenade and moves on. The scene was eventually cut because director James Cameron realized after filming that Burke should still have had a Facehugger attached to him at this point in the film.
