>Dan O'Bannon: There's a line of dialogue here where they talk about the skeletons with perfect teeth and he thinks that there's a skeleton farm in India. Well, in fact, when i was working on Alien. HR Giger asked them to obtain some real skulls for him to work from, to build the alien, the full size alien. And they did, and they purchased them and they brought him skulls which were wrapped in plastic just like that and they were the most beautiful skulls I had ever seen, they were like works of art, I was struck by the perfection and the teeth were all perfect, and I was told that they were ordered from India, and then sold for medical purposes but the production had bought them for Giger to use, and he took a hacksaw and cut them into pieces and put them back together, and subsequently when i was working with Tobe Hooper, who was meant to direct this film himself, we were talking about this scene. Hooper was aware also that medical skeletons were purchased from India, and he said that the eeriest thing. Tobe did did, he thinks that they have a skeleton farm in India. I thought about it a while, it was such a creepy idea that when i wrote the script, I put that in. The picture was released and a few months after the picture opened, i read a news item that the government of India had suddenly stopped the deportation of all skeletons for medical purposes, and ever since then it's very difficult for medical schools to get them. They use plastic skeletons and it may have been a coincidence or the film may have indeed come to their attention and they put a stop to it. I have a feeling, the creepy feeling that there was something very criminal going on in India. (commentary for Return of the Living Dead)

>naive westerner

There was a recent thread of some asian lady going to India and finding a child's skull on the beach. A fuck ton of people die in India, and thus obtaining a skeleton would be easy and legal.

I think the alien is scarier when you can't see the skull under the dome but this picture is making me reconsider. Skulls are so fucking kino.

Yes. I saw a Chinese man on one of these chinese sites like bilibili uncovering a vat of decomposing corpses floating in formaldehyde and the thing Chinese people said in some comments around the internet is that some German guy, who was a chemist, invented a way to preserve the body in a better way, and these countries ship bodies of poor people, unregistered by the governament across the world to be studied. I mean, you can do whatever you want with the bodies though. And the video of the bodies in the vat, were some which they did the process incorrectly, so they had to dispose of the body.
Let me see if I can find the video

Reminds me of a video I saw on /x/ with various naked bodies hanging like in a slaughterhouse. I could never find it but maybe someone has seen it as well.

Which is good. There's already 1.5 billion people there. Can you imagine how fast they'd overwhelm the world if the didn't die by the thousands to predatory trains?

Literally just throw a net in Ganges and trawl in to you the dead bodies, strip meat off with meal worms then sell. The easiest of monies.

I don't have a link but I read a medical company was having difficulty obtaining children's skeletons and after some time a company in India started offering a suspiciously large amount of them and there were questions about their origin and if they were the result of natural deaths or harvesting street kids.

Are the pipes veins? How does the alien create the pipes? Why is there a skull in this alien I thought the dome piece was smooth. Why does it not stick to the original alien design

They throw their corpses into the rivers that glow into seas and oceans. Skulls ain't nothing, how about half rotten corpses

Original design always had a translucent dome with a visable skull under it, depicting how the alien originated from a human host. It was later designs that made the dome smooth and featureless

I prefer it so that the skull is still visible but only if you shine light in it. Alien Isolation and Romulus did this. All the Neca figures too.
