Do aliens fall into the realm of haunts and Halloween? While this is up for debate, it’s no question that they’ve infiltrated the horror genre to become a means of spine chilling storytelling, having fallen in line with mysterious unknowns and paranormal phenomenons. If you need an example, look no further than Dark Skies.

If you’re in Southern California and aliens are your thing, you should no doubt be making your way out to AlienCon next week. Taking place June 15 – June 17 in Pasadena, CA, AlienCon will feature thought-provoking original programming, celebrity appearances, exhibits, exclusive merchandise, fan competitions, and much more. The event describes itself as a place to “bring together all those seeking the truth about extraterrestrial existence throughout history.”

Each day is packed with gripping panels and discussions, and David Duchovny will even be there discussing one of TV’s most-beloved and longest-running shows, The X-Files, where he starred as agent Fox Mulder.

Tickets are available for purchase HERE and don’t miss your chance to see the unofficial face of Ancient Aliens, Giorgio Tsoukalo, live an in-person!
