What Should The Next Science Fiction Monster Be?

In summary, the black hole monster would win in a fight with the killer pluots because the black hole monster has the ability to suck people in and consume them.

That's kinda like Forbidden Planet.

Here we see the black hole monster being thwarted by a cute, disembodied kitten head.


Evil but cute son of Cheshire cat meets black hole monster in wonderland. Now that i'd like to see!

He would have to be the physicist responsible for creating the black hole monster. I think it happened during a hypnagogic state when he was thinking about the density of mercury and the hole, or interior cavity, of a hat. From this, and his madness, the thought form of the black hole monster emerged.

It should be sexy though, the thought of being killed by a sexy monster
aint to bad, you could model it on a few around here :uhh: :devil:

You prolly never saw Bambi meets Godzilla.
And leave us not forget the sequel: Bambi's Revenge. Even better.
I think that the next monster should be a seemingly innocuous fellow who can induce haemorrhoids by sheer will-power. (Even better if he runs a Mexican restaurant.)

This is the premise of the film Species. If you haven't seen it, I recommend renting it. It's very well done. The first sequal, Species II is almost as good, and worth watching. The third isn't worth it.

David Brin's books [uplift] have a whole univerce of aliens not just one type
to bad they blew the postman movie one of the few books of Brin's without his
cast of thousands of aliens types

Dolfins and chimps in space is just a good small subplot too

Sorry guys. A black hole was already used in Event Horizon as the bad guy.

He is a good monster. He watches over people with his noodley appendages.

The black hole monster is not an authentic black hole, just something that roughly mimics one. In fact, there may be several physicists in the film who have constantly to point this out to the media and the public, but people will still keep calling it "the black hole monster."

How about Shadow People ala Coast to Coast? The only movie I have seen personally that uses something like them is the movie Ghost when the demons come.

Maybe Nanites? Have they use them in a horror flick yet? They could turn people into tech zombies. Or there's always Greg Bear's grey goo scenario but that's just a more indepth version of The Blob really.

Maybe Nanites?

Oh! Good idea!

The X-Files had a lot of good monster men thingies that could have been developed into whole movies. There was the stretchy, liver-eating guy, the African ghost guy, and the cancer eating guy, as well as the, sort of, shark-boy in human clothing. They kind of ran through and used up a lot of good ideas on mere one-hour programs.

No one mentioned Galactus!
