‘It’s Actually Me Throwing Up’: Alien: Romulus Sound Designer Reveals Some Seriously Gross Details About The Movie’s Nasty Noises

Film News

Like all of its predecessors in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus is full of squishy, splatty, and generally horrid bits of sound. It’s a key part of the cinematic experience that makes the new horror movie a throwback delight – and perhaps the only thing gnarlier or grosser than the xenomorph action on screen are the details about how the various nasty noises were created behind the scenes.

Perfectly timed for spooky season, Los Angeles’ Beyond Fest hosted a special Alien/Alien: Romulus double feature earlier this month, and the big screen twin bill was followed by a special filmmaker Q&A. Many interesting secrets about the new horror movie were revealed – like how the science officer android Rook was created – sound designer/supervising sound editor Lee Gilmore contributed to the conversation talking about the auditory experience of Alien: Romulus. First referencing the horrific birth scene in the third act of the film featuring Isabella Merced (who was also on the panel), Gilmore said,

It’s actually me throwing up, when [Kay] finally [gives birth]… [That sound] is locked and loaded. We went to Ralphs and went up to the meat department and just asked like, ‘Are you throwing out any meat?’ And they gave me like a 15 pound bag of like meat bits, and I have no idea what it was. It was just all in this one sack together. So we bought that, got a couple crabs, lobsters, that kind of stuff… It still smells really bad in my office.
