R.B.: The Alien is an original character created during the 1980s by Bob M. and Joe U. from Gardner Terrace in the Allston section of Boston. The character came to life first in a short 8mm film called simply "The Alien" featuring the local Terracites. Filmed in local spots around Allston and of course, Gardner Terrace, the original Alien became a local hit. Due to its extreme popularity with the Terracites, Bob and Joe with cast and crew set out to film a longer and better sequel. "Alien 2" was shown to a delighted and near frenzied audience at Jill P's incredible Film Festival party. I sat there watching in awe as this larger than life character wreaked it's own kind of tongue-in-cheek havoc. Needless to say, "Alien 2" won the show going away, and the following year was history in the making.

Not to stand on their laurels with "Alien 2," Bob and Joe set out on a mission to out-do themselves and succeeded. The next year's Film Festival party approached, and "Alien 3" made it's debut with "smashing" success. Longer and better than ever before, "Alien 3" delighted a howling and roaring crowd, and if that wasn't enough, the ALIEN ITSELF came smashing through the screen at the end. The effect was phenomenal, and how great that was when the Alien came crashing through at the final scene. Needless to say, Bob was drinking champagne out of the Silver Sneaker that night. How sweet it was!
