My daughter was almost scarred for life by it. I think she was about 8 and she had a friend living in our building who was 4 years older. The older girl was into scary movies and I mentioned how Alien, the first movie, was one of the scariest I had seen. I explained the whole plot to them and then showed them the movie and they said it wasn't that scary at all. Long story short, I then showed them Aliens. Unfortunately I'd only seen it once and didn't have a strong memory of the plot, in particular I had completely forgotten about Newt. She ended up a number of phobias for the next year or so that she completely blames on me.
