Watch the Skies: The 25 Best Alien Invasion Horror Movies
){kind=link}
5. The Blob (1958, 1988)
B-movie madness strikes as alien goo in a meteor that lands on Earth begins growing to enormous size with every person it absorbs. The superior remake takes the action to grisly new levels. / Predator 2 (1990)){kind=link}
4. Predator (1987) / Predator 2 (1990)
Aliens invade Earth not to take over, but rather as a hunting trip to bag some human skulls. The original and its silly but still underappreciated sequel form an epic action-horror hybrid duo.){kind=link}
3. The War of the Worlds (1953)
While it might not have had the panicky impact of Orson Welles' pre-World War II adaptation of the H.G. Wells alien invasion classic, the 1953 film version feeds on the Cold War fears of the era (combined with spectacular special effects) to similarly unnerving effect. / The Thing (1982)){kind=link}
2. The Thing from Another World (1951) / The Thing (1982)
The tense early '50s chiller about an frozen alien wreaking havoc in an Arctic station after being thawed was given an added gory dimension by John Carpenter in 1982 with an adaptation more faithful to the original book, which featured the alien assuming the look and personality of anyone it consumes. / Body Snatchers (1993)){kind=link}
1. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956, 1978) / Body Snatchers (1993)
The original paranoid Cold War-era thriller about aliens replicating themselves as humans still resonates more than 50 years later, as indicated by the myriad of remakes -- two of which (the well-received 1978 version and the underrated 1993 version) do a great job at replicating the eerie apocalyptic tone.
