The locked WGA credits for Alien (1979) are incorrect. As you can see from the picture below, the screenplay credit should be first followed by the story credits:

Dan O'Bannon      screenplay by        1,1,1
Dan O'Bannon      story by                  2,1,1
Ronald Shusett     story by                  2,2,1

There is a YouTube video of a TV screening dated 1984 with the same credit order. While this version may not be identical to the original release, it does predate any later cut versions.

Peter, I'm so glad people are preserving their VHS recordings and share them. Such great research and entertainment resources are those!

Thanks both, we have seen inconsistencies such as these in the past with WGA credits. I've edited the credits now to reflect the order as it appears on screen.
