“Rick and Morty” Spoof ‘Alien’, Survive Facehugger Attack!
Wubulubadubdub!
One of the best shows on television right now is “Rick and Morty”, the animated series created by “Community’s” Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Roiland voices the eponymous main characters Rick, a scientist and alcoholic, and Morty, Rick’s grandson, as Rick proves himself to be a negative influence on Morty and his family. The duo travels through space and time, coming across all sorts of creatures in the battle for the universe.
While the torturous wait for the third season continues, Rick and Morty have found themselves on an Engineer ship, where the Queen’s eggs have hatched a facehugger that affixes itself to Rick’s face. It doesn’t last long as it’s revealed that his alcohol and drug abuse poisoned the creature, saving them both from going through the painful experience of expelling a chestburster. It’s a hilarious spoof that’s the perfect tie-in for next week’s release of Alien: Covenant.
And that’s the wayyy, the news goes!
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
