About the packaging:
The Xenomorph Monster High doll was a hit of cosmic proportions when it launched, and I had the honor of contributing to her sleek interstellar packaging with a tribute to the original 1979 Alien movie.

The Xenomorph is never seen in its entirety until the end of the film; the terror that makes one’s breath catch and heart rate skyrocket stems from the alien’s unseen presence, from the horrifying dread that a vicious nightmare lurks around any and every corner.

Everything that is known about the alien comes from either violent encounters or the ship’s artificial intelligence, MU/TH/UR. With this in mind, I thought it was only fitting to write copy that mirrors the chillingly clinical dialogue between the crew and MU/TH/UR, taking inspiration from actual phrases used in the film. Since the logged-in user is Ripley, the copy also celebrates the iconic heroine of the film.

Read the copy for yourself in the below snapshot, taken from the back of package… just don’t blame me if your spine tingles.
