Aliens

These are the funniest names for horror sequels ever.

Just because a movie is a sequel doesn’t mean it will be exactly like the one that inspired it.

You could call a rose by any other name and it would still smell sweet. But these movies wouldn’t be the same without these great titles.

On the internet, everyone can hear your ‘Alien’ picks and scream at you about them.

These filmmakers made a huge impact on existing franchises.

Sometimes, sequels and remakes actual surpass their inspiration.

(It shoots Nerf darts, obviously.)

As one of Comic-Con's oldest guests, Sideshow Collectibles has one of the largest footprints at the annual San Diego event of any exhibitor. It's a good thing too because Sideshow hosts works from a number of companies it helps distribute in the states, as well as putting on a showcase for its own products. This year's offerings ran the gamut from the comic book worlds of Marvel and DC, to the cinematic universes of both, with a healthy dose of Star Wars interspersed to keep things groovy.

Last year marked the 30th anniversary of James Cameron's fan-favorite xenomorphic sequel, Aliens. While NECA has been steadfast in its coverage of the Alien franchise, giving fans the most collectibles and figures encompassing nearly every film in the series. Though there are still some characters from Aliens NECA hasn't been able to procure the rights for, this week the New Jersey company delivered one of the biggest surprises for the license yet. For the first time in history, James Cameron is getting an action figure.

We can't lie to you about your chances, but you have our sympathies in trying to get any of this year's Alien Day merchandise.
