10 Scariest Horror Movie Scenes Of All Time

Although Alien may be slightly dated now, its most famous scene still stands out today.

The scare is largely focused on its shock factor and the graphic nature of the scene. After the alien creature latches itself onto Kane's face, it eventually disappears, with everything seems normal again.

As the crew are sitting around each other, Kane is laughing before he starts coughing and choking. His chest starts heaving, with the crew members believing he ate poison as they ask what his internal pain was like.

Then, suddenly and horrifyingly, an alien burst through his chest, spraying blood everywhere and killing Kane in the process. This scene was so shocking that even the actors had no idea what was about to happen, and so the reactions on screen were happening in real-time.

The chest-bursting scene remains one of the most gruesome and disgusting alien horror scenes in cinematic history, with its special effects ground-breaking at the time of the picture's 1970 release.
