To show your sweetie how much you love them, you’re going to make your very own Alien facehugger pizza. This pizza was inspired by an Alien facehugger sculpture by Mixta110 on DeviantArt.

And for dessert…Alien Egg Cake Balls!

Play

Video Games:
Several Alien video games exist, however I’d highly recommend Alien Isolation, which came out in 2014. My husband and I started playing together (it’s single player, so we take turns) and it’s a blast! Definitely both screamed at the first alien encounter.

Tabletop Games:
For board games, I recommend Legendary Encounters. It’s an Alien themed deck building game. This was my first deck building game and I found it surprisingly engaging and not too difficult to learn. There are scenarios for each of the four movies you can play, which makes for a lot of fun.
