Alien: The Chestburster

leading from:
 Ridley Scott's Alien Monster 

Michael Seymour; "After the first stage had died and 

left us, we can assume that it has layed its egg inside the 

human character's chest. So the next stage, which is the 

creature that gives birth to itself by bursting through the 

wall of John Hurt's chest, we referred to in our own private 

language as the "Chest-Burster"
