It's a good observation—Blatty's novels and their adaptations are, perhaps, the first effective answer to Milton's influence over images of Satan in culture.

It's been interesting to see a sort of sexist mutant of the Bechdel test appear in pop culture discussion over the years: if two women in a TV show, movie, comic, etc. ever discuss something other than a man, they must be about to make out.

"Godzilla" is horror. There's no argument to be had as I see it. If "Alien" is horror (and it is), "Godzilla" is horror. The similarities between the two are almost too many to count, up to and including a demented character who insists the monster must be kept alive for the authorities to harness its ability to

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that "Godzilla" is horror, and it's evident on many levels.

The only part of The Exorcist I found truly chilling was "You're gonna die up there," although it is an excellent movie. I'm frightened by it, but the horror for me is more in the way the characters surrounding Regan are trapped by her innocence as a victim. She's a haunted house you can't just leave, not if you want

"Godzilla" (1954) is, without a doubt, horror. The monster is even treated like a horror movie monster—hiding, lurking, even managing to pass unseen during its first attack on land thanks to a typhoon.

And if Stephen King could come up with a scary idea more than one out of five times he tries…

"old joke"

"Godzilla" included, then—good (I'm never giving up that argument).

"Alien" is a horror movie, by any stretch of the imagination—more than that, it's a slasher flick.

That includes "Godzilla"—which speaks in favor of your concept, despite this comic's baffling insistence that it isn't a horror movie (its sequels aren't, for sure, with the possible exception of the first sequel, but the original movie very much is).

That's not a bad theory if you consider how thoroughly the studio-mandated exorcism scene bunged the otherwise excellent Legion/Exorcist III.

But "Godzilla", the one from 1954, is a horror movie.

Worth it for that screenshot alone.

Supposedly, the price for the new ship model, new costumes, new transporter effects and other expenses of "Q Who" was "Shades of Grey": one outstanding episode this season spent the equivalent budget of two of its less remarkable peers, so another episode had to spend, well, pretty much nothing—otherwise the show

Yeah, I was joking.

Sounds like the right approach to me.

That is one hell of a prettied-up "artist's impression of the surface", considering the planet only gets 2% of our planet's sunlight with even that coming from a red dwarf. The entire thing should be a few shades shy of pitch black, and what little is visible should be tinted a deep red.

It's "gaslit". But I don't want you to beat yourself up about it because an inability to form the past tense is a usual warning sign of stress disorders.
