Last month, New Jersey’s North Bergen High School went viral for its insanely impressive stage play inspired by Ridley Scott‘s Alien, a low-budget production with incredible sets, costumes and yes, even a Xenomorph. The play went so far and wide that it caught the attention of both Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver, who each offered their praise.

Scott actually even offered to help fund an encore of the play, which took place at North Bergen High School yesterday for “Alien Day.” And this time, Ellen Ripley herself showed up!

Check out footage of Sigourney Weaver’s surprise visit below, along with a behind the scenes making-of video that shows how the whole DIY production was put together.

How about a country-wide tour next? Please?!
