The Greatest Sci-Fi Horror Movie Monsters
Science fiction and horror have made for perfectly matched bedfellows in the sci-fi horror hybrid genre. From Alien to The Thing, sci-fi horror movies exhibit both the thought-provoking themes and speculative conceptual storytelling of science fiction and the abject terror and taut suspense of a horror film. This genre is full of unforgettable movie monsters, like the eponymous Predators in the Predator franchise, the aliens that see with their ears in A Quiet Place, and all the Lovecraftian beasts that emerge from the titular haze in The Mist. The most memorable ones, like Brundlefly, Jean Jacket, and the xenomorph, are both as scary as anything in a straightforward horror film and as imaginative and provocative as anything in a straightforward sci-fi film.
