Youngsters love to plaster their walls with posters and pictures of the things that fascinate them. And aliens are a constant source of fascination and fear for humans.  Aliens are basically creatures that are not of this planet. They could be from another age, another planet or another galaxy.

No one has seen a real picture of aliens, though many claim to have spotted UFOs. But human imagination has given aliens all sorts of shapes and sizes – some of these are depicted as animals, some as human beings with minor differences, and some like machines. Some of them are shown to be evil, trying to take over planet Earth. Some are shown as lost extra-terrestrials, as in ET. Some are just ugly or mindlessly violent. Putting up posters is normally confined to your favourite stars from films or sports or those of objects you admire like cars and bikes.

Alien posters are usually as popular as the movies they belong to. Most of our own impressions of aliens come from movies and books. New alien movie releases create a demand for their posters. In fact, there are several Hollywood movies about aliens and the posters of these movies and their characters are available on the web, sometimes free and sometimes for a small price.
