How You Market An R-Rated Horror Film to Kids: 'Alien' Toy Commercial from 1979!
While the world of toy collecting has definitely taken adult collectors into consideration in the modern era, it’s somewhat crazy to know that in 1979, Kenner not only made a toy for the Ridley Scott psychological horror/sci-fi classic Alien, but they EVEN MADE A COMMERCIAL FOR KIDS!
Check it out.
The really crazy part, of course, is when you realize that the alien’s attacks are supposed to be symbolic of rape. So, it’s a fun time commercial where the kids are hiding from their rapists!
Btw, if you want one of the vintage figures, get ready to pay through the nose. A quick glance on eBay shows that they’re going within the three figures range, loose.
