The El Capitan Theatre was buzzing as D23 fans got an exclusive first look at "Alien: Earth" during a special early screening.
Before the episode began, attendees explored a lobby filled with themed photo ops. A life-size Xenomorph statue grabbed plenty of attention, while a replica Xenomorph egg sat inside a Weyland-Yutani-style chamber, ready to surprise the next unsuspecting guest.
Victor Leon, one dedicated fan, drove five hours to be there, sporting a custom costume that made it look like a chest-burster was breaking out of his body.
"It's all about the Xenomorph creature for me," he said. "I'm a big horror fan, so ride or die, I'm coming down here!"
Executive producer and director of photography Dana Gonzales welcomed the crowd and introduced the premiere episode, thanking everyone for their support.
Lucky attendees also had a chance to win exclusive giveaways, including a custom "Alien" Xbox controller and some seriously cool Xenomorph swag.
As the night wrapped up, every fan left with a goodie bag containing a poster, collectible pin, and a fizzy drink to toast their close encounter.
