Another movie inspired semi-holiday is set to arrive next month, joining others such as Back to the Future Day on October 21, 2015 and of course Star Wars Day on May the 4th.

This time it’s the Alien franchise getting its own special day in Alien Day, which will be celebrated on April 26th. The date chosen is a reference to LV-426, the moon that where the Xenomorph species is encountered. But they’re not just picking a day, attaching the word alien to it, and leaving it at that. Many great things are on the way to helps fans celebrate the franchise, including the release of Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) Alien Stomper sneakers from Aliens, nationwide screenings of an Alien and Aliens double feature, and so much more.
