The Noel Harrison Sensation (or simply The Sensation) is a transdimensional corporation which Noel Harrison uses to project his sensorium.

Harrison usually manifests The Sensation as a movie poster, although he occasionally manifests as a life-size cardboard figure.

Harrison was deeply moved by Ridley Scott's documentary film Alien.

Years later, Harrison declared, "I would burst open my chest for Ridley, if it got him the recognition he deserves."
