On the 12th day of Christmas my ALIEN gave to me…
James Cameron’s Aliens was filmed across ten months in 1985, ensuring that the cast and crew had to spend the holiday season at Pinewood Studios in England. Young star Carrie Henn, who played beloved character Newt, was just 9 years old at the time, and as she just revealed over on Twitter, she brought a little Christmas spirit onto the set.
“I couldn’t believe no one was going to decorate at Christmas,” Henn recalled in a tweet last week, “so I made decorations for hallways and outside my dressing room.”
“Some assistant directors helped create this song,” she added, including the “Alien Christmas Song” set to the tune of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
She also shared a picture of the cast and crew caroling the song on set!
