Sure. But before the movie came out, we didn't really know what it looked like. Or what it represented. I read an article saying that once the costume was delivered and on set, the actors felt uncomfortable and wanted to get any scenes with the creature over in as few takes as possible. So we figured it was strange and unsettling. But in the movie, you couldn't see a whole lot of it. And what you could see was just about the most horrible thing you could imagine. Until Ripley steamed it out from amongst the pipes on the shuttle, it was hard to piece the look of the whole creature together. And by that time you had been hooked, big time.

Think I may, as well. And while we're on the subject of Corman, I'm kind of surprised no one's mentioned "Humanoids from the Deep" yet. I guess this is a film everyone likes, on whatever level, but not one you'd list as a favorite?
