Meet Carrie Henn (Newt) Live in Sacramento!
The ultimate bug hunt is coming to California! Deep-space terminal APFZONE has intercepted a major update from the Weyland-Yutani communication grid. Sci-fi and horror enthusiasts have an incredible opportunity to celebrate the upcoming Aliens 40th Anniversary alongside the ultimate survivor of Hadley’s Hope.
Organized by Moviebusters, the historic Crest Theatre in downtown Sacramento, California, will host an exclusive screening of Aliens: Special Edition on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Even better, fans will get to experience a rare, in-person appearance by the iconic Jorden siblings!
The Ultimate Jorden Siblings Reunion
This exclusive Aliens 40th Anniversary retrospective features a headline appearance from Carrie Henn, who won a Saturn Award for her brilliant performance as Newt (Rebecca Jorden). Since Aliens remains her singular legendary acting credit, live appearances like this are a must-attend event for autograph collectors and franchise historians. Joining Carrie on stage is her real-life brother, Christopher Henn. Hardcore fans will remember Christopher for playing Newt’s brother, Timmy Jorden, in the extended Special Edition colony prologue scenes.
